I've flown them all. Used to be an avid Python supporter. I tried the FDL a few times, but never really gave it a chance. Finally, I put full enthusiasm behind the FDL and really gave it a chance. I love it! I've been in fights with clippers and vultures piloted by non-NPC's and have lived to tell the tale. There is a learning curve, but there is with every ship. Practice with the huge hard point and when you get comfy with it, you'll be a force to be reckoned with. I personally like the A-4 plasma accelerator with 4 multi-cannons. With that, I've had condas turn into space dust in under 2 minutes
