Packhound Engineering

[Brrokk]

I just got access to packhounds. Trying them out was fun.

What are the experts' thoughts on engineering? Out of the available options I'm attracted by High Capacity because they seem to run out quickly.

Not an expert but I do have an embarrassing amount of hours in game.

High capacity is the only blueprint worth using for packhounds.

I mix in one drag munition. Synths are fast and cheap

High cap + overload munitions if you want an all rounder.
High cap + drag if you want status effect.

Kind of an "edge case" but I use the light weight mod' with the drag XFX on my speedy ships to help deter pursuit.
On something like a scout or exploration ship it can be worth considering cos a G5 light weight packhound only weighs 0.4t.

In my so far theorycrafted build, that's 4% in jump range and 1% in boost speed for the difference between high cap and lightweight

Thanks for the advice everyone.
