Ships Vulture PVE Recommendations?

Looks like a solid build but you should definitely do one PA short range and the other efficient for more DPS. Two efficient just don't do enough damage for me.
I'm glad to hear you're sticking with fixed though. You'll never get better if you don't start practicing with it and there are some top level PvP pilots that use fixed on controller on FA off, so it definitely can be done.

Thanks for the support man. It was your reply that made me stick with fixed. I'm already doing much better and this Vulture is pretty strong. I'm popping some ships in just 4-5 volleys. I'm having difficulties still with the smaller faster ships however. I'm definitely learning that bigger ships or ships with larger attack surface are much easier to pop.

Awesome! That's great to hear. If you want, I could teach you some tricks on how to use them, including fa off. Join my discord if you're interested. Link is in my signature

Just an update on this ship. It's pretty much indestructible in PVE, if not overkill. Have completed High CZ in this ship. Yes, I should increase DPS a bit, overcharged plasmas or short range are on my bucket list. I'm now able to kill two enemies before I run out of ammo, with a dangerous primary enemy. I can often pop small ships with a single volley. I'm now flying fa off full time in battle. I still need to work on pip control. Thanks to everyone especially ganks for all the help!!

Awesome! Just a side note, always use short ranged on PA's, not overcharged. Overcharged increases the distro draw but SRB doesn't. And the range that SRB shortens to is still well within the range that you're firing anyways.

Ok I will, thanks! I'm finding I need to be fairly short range anyway with plasmas. Any luck with trailing gun sights? I find I'm pretty accurate with them in short range, not so much long range

No, you definitely want leading.
The trick to aiming PA's is to let the target come to you instead of chasing it. Anticipate where it's going to go and fire when it crosses your reticle. Think of it kind of like guitar hero. Also keep in mind that, depending on the ship, you only want one or two SRB PA's, with the rest being efficient.
