PYTHON, A Rate Shields or upgrade armour?

So I currently have standard 5A shields with 2 boosters. Running about 600 on shields. I've got the starter armour with a whole whack of Hull and module reinforcements that have me at 2000 hull integrity. When this CG ends I can upgrade either to 6A shields OR I can get the next best armour which is reinforced alloy I think. I haven't had many issues with this setup beyond shields taking forever to re-charge...

Thoughts?

Shields. Stronger shields keeps you in the fight longer. Once shields drop, you're better off running so you don't take hull damage and have to foot a huge repair bill.

Make it a shielded tank with reinforced hull as well. Better be safe than sorry. Better be over powered than under powered.
At the moment I have engineered 6A shields + 3 engineered shield boosters. As soon as finances are right, I'll upgrade my hull to military grade.

Always go reactivate surface composite. You're already spending big so buy the best. After you get the best engineer it so that the thermal is in the positives for resistances. So use Heavy Duty on the heavy combat ships like the Vette and FAS for example and Lightweight on the light fighters like the Vulture and FDL for example. After that make one hull reinforcement package thermal resistance and bam you have a OP hull. I have my Vulture at 30+ all on hull resistances (Lightweight Reactivate Surface bulkheads and only one thermal resistance reinforcement package) so when my shields go my hull will actually do more work than the shields.

I wish I could go with the reactive, unfortunately it's 150 million dollars, and after this CG I'm gunna have about 30 million... So it's either 6a shields then off to the engineer, or the mild upgrade to the reinforced armour... And I don't have that engineer unlocked so nothing I can do about that for now. As it is I'm running around the CG systems with a bounty for accidentally hitting a friendly, making it very difficult to make money... Haz Res seems to be the best bet...

Python can have it quite balanced in that regard. Mine is more shields than hull, but relies on SCBs which leaves it quite vulnerable to Feedback rails.

Oooooo shiny... Mine is also gold, sometimes graphite black others... I'll have to see about opening up the shield boost engineer, I currently only have level 1...
