Newcomer / Intro Upgrading my Adder

Power distributor and FSD as the first upgrades on a multi purpose ship. For the reasons other posters have already stated.
If you're arguing that the power distributor isn't a useful upgrade then I'm afraid you don't understand what it is doing...

U could just save the argument and just outfit the Adder as either a Trader or Explorer ... it's not really big enough to do as a multi
If you want to be a Ace killer in it. .... Stick to NPC's in Solo or buy a Viper

Hi,
I recently acquired an Adder too. I'm using it as a step stone to Cobra so I don't plan to stay a long time in it (just nightmare peripheral vision and I love to use headtracking).
But it must serve me as money machine to reach the million I need to get a medium fitted Cobra. So I need to have more cargo (I upgraded Adder to 22T downgrading shields to class 2), but I need also to get rid of those nasty interdictors. 8/9 times out of 10 I escape interdictions, but once I was almost destroyed cause I was stuck after interdiction with overheating and with 2 shots my shields were down.
So I need your advice to protect my cargo: where to invest money? Power dist maybe 1st priority? I want to: 1) run away fast 2) avoid heat 3) defend myself if necessary. I already have a heatsink launcher, and entry level pulse lasers + gimballed multicannon.

Thanks!

If your primary response is to run -
Ditch the weapons. Upgrade thrusters and power distributor so that you can boost away quicker. In an Adder if you're interdicted by a Viper or Cobra (or even an Eagle) you should be cannon fodder, so getting away quickly and having shields to keep you
in one piece whilst you run, is the best option . consider point defence in case they use missiles against your fleeing tail.
I never had problems with heat on my Adder though.

Work up to the Cobra and then look forward to being interdicted :).

Ahahah I'll comply with your advice... Cannon fodder and run like a rat until I get a fully weapon fitted Cobra, then I'll love to be interdicted...
I don't like the sensation to be shivering like a coward rabbit whilst in supercruise... That is gonna change!!
