Selene Jean Quiery

Hey folks...
Can yall help me out here?

Been engineering my PvE combat Viper. Mostly done.
One more engineer I need to go see; Selene Jean.
But now that I'm here, I'm not sure what to tell her...

My instinct is to play to my Viper's strengths; it's speed, and go with some of the lighter stuff, reduced mass and whatnot.

But do I get lightweight armor and make that heavy duty?
Do I get military composite and make that lightweight?

Do I make the hull reinforcement lighter?
I mean, they do have better resistance and my shields rarely go down...

I'm confused.
What is generally the consensus among combat pilots?

Keep the stock lightweight armour and do the Heavy Duty upgrade with the deep plating experimental effect.

Because the stock armour has zero mass the upgrade does not increase mass as it says in the blueprint but will increase the hull boost without adding mass. It's a fluke of the design.

So you get better hull without the mass penalty if you stick with the lightweight armor.

Wen a newb u will play safe but eventually everything becomes light especially with the credit earning opportunities right I mean who cares if we die now go light buddy n use lateral thrusting to your hearts content
