Ship Builds & Load Outs Shieldless

There have to be a few of you out there running shieldless at all times. If you are reading this, can you share some of your experiences? There are several builds for pvp that use it, but I am also really hoping to hear from those in pve, bgs, cg, and powerplay as well.

Does it work well? New repair limpet made a big impact? What other ship modifications compliment running shieldless?

I have a shieldless, cool-running DB Scout. Around 14 when idle, 18-19 using boost and high 30s when FSD is active (everything is A-rated and some have Low-Emission mods for heat efficiency). To make sure i also carry a few heat sinks. I use is mostly for smuggling or transporting illegal passengers and the rare PVP.

I fitted it with MCs since they generate very little heat, some would actually put Rails or PA. I also have some modded HRPs installed.

Interesting, staying under 20 while boosting.

I'd love to see a Carolis build on that.

Thank you. +1 rep for replying to you both.

Fascinated by how much removing the shield changes the ships. It is almost like having a second version of each one. I fly small ships, and really like having a military slot when going shieldless.

HRP plus MRP offers pretty nice protection, especially if you make generous use of reinforcement/sturdy mods. I have messed around with the repair limpet a little since the original post, and it can keep you from going back for repairs. I can load up on missions, including multiple assassinations, without concern. I cannot figure out a shieldless CZ build though, as a thermal biweave, or similar, seems almost mandatory (again, for small fast ships).

Still really interested to hear from others on general purpose, shieldless builds.
