I like your Vulture - no matter what you do she’ll probably serve you great.
personally I like my Vulture setup a litte differently.

I like lasers for the moment, my favorite setup is effective beams for dps/energy consumption paired with rapid fire pulses with scramble spectrum - these things are great fun and cause all kinds of mischief on your target when the shield drops - like shutting downs engines or the like. Otherwise they just perform like a good laser.
My build is more of a do anything kind. I can muck about doing whatever and maybe swap out a module here and there.
but this build will take on elite corvettes with some patience.
I’m on the chieftain train for an upgrade.
The Fdl and FAS both have great pitch, but in my opinion bad lateral thrusters and they both drag and stall in combat. Coming from a vulture they feel like a step down.
the chieftain has the same shields, but better armour and much higher dps potential with some added module possibilities.

It follows the same rule as my Vulture above, it can do most anything if you swap out a couple of modules.
Some don’t like the chief because of the small hardpoints. Some use rails with great effect. I prefer to use rapid fire pulses - again with scramble spectrum for that mischief. Of course I’ve added a MC with corrosive effect.
this chief build flyes almost like my Vulture - but you have grade 5 upgrade the thrusters or it kind of sucks (drags and glides).
if you want a pure dogfight/flightsim option - try the challenger - it’s extremely good at pitch manouvering
