Starting over, any advice?

Long story short; spent a lot of time (majority exploring way outside the bubble) a few years back on PS4 but stopped playing around the same time the scanning changed. Just installed the game on XB1 and got myself an Adder I'm milling about just outside the new starting area plus a Cobra mk3 (which I bizarrely haven't flown in all my time so far) with an eye on A rating the latter but as a lot seems to have changed what kind of build should I go with? EG; is hull tanking still viable or shields and what kind? Best weapons? Also related I guess is engineering and accelerating that whole process, any tips?

I guess I'll be doing rez stuff, bounty hunting and a bit of opportunistic cargo missions to get cash until mdedium/large ships as I hear you can make more credits with it now? Lot has changed (I'm missing my honk for starters) and I am probably overlooking alsorts, including Xbox player groups.

Any input gratefully received o7
 
Here is my cmk3 build, it's served me well and is easily adaptable for various roles (can exchange modules for cargo space or srv hanger)
 
@oblivionmanman 2476 Indeed that is, thanks. Although I don’t have any friends who play Elite on Xbox just yet. Will keep it in mind.

@Batterby76 Nice, although no access to engineering at all just yet (just pledged to A.Duval for those prismatics) which is making things interesting.

About done with the Adder in combat so using the few mil I have left to put into the Cobra and hopefully get some rezin to A-rate then take a trip Cubeo way... bit worried about the damage output vs tanking ability but guess it's a chance I need to take.
