I am currently using

Huge- G pulse laser

Large- G pulse laser

Large- G pulse laser

Large- G pulse laser

Medium- Multi Cannon

Medium- Multi Cannon

Small- Multi Cannon

Small- Multi Cannon

I am finding it to only be slightly better than my python with the same build.

is there builds you guys know about that will just shred NPC's?

Cost is not an issue.

The Anaconda is too slow for a Haz RES. You spend more time chasing after your victims than shooting them. I would stick to ships that can do it well: First, FDL; second, FAS; third Vulture; fourth, Python.

It might be different if you're not too interested in making money. Some people like to load up with high-damage weapons and just go and have a blast, but looking at your load-out, it looks like you're after something that will stay there for a while, which means FDL with 5 pulse lasers.

You can make serious money in a Haz RES with a FDL. Can anybody match this with an Anaconda, FAS or Corvette?

100% bonus hudson.

That picture doesn't say how much time did you spend there: so, it's not relevant about this topic.

Off topic: great moneys over there anyway :)

100% bonus hudson + a sector with all minor factions ranked to fed (most probably)

Best? I dunno about that, but what you have listed works well (from experience). You can put small beam turrets on the small as well, that can be fun.

Another one I tried was 2x C3 Pulse 2x C2 Pulse (on the top/sides) and the rest cannons. That last one was pretty devastating up-close.

The Anaconda is a lot of fun to mess around with in the outfitting department.

Although the FDL is great with maneuverability, it does not burn down the targets fast enough. The conda doesn't have horrible maneuverability and I was burning through targets faster in the conda.

The best Annie build for combat is quite tricky, but basically it involves removing some of the hardpoints, chopping off the under carriage, and remolding the hull into an arrow shape. This gives you more room for bigger engines, and you can even keep the undermounted huge hardpoint ;)

What works great for me is 3 C3 gimballed beams and everything else gimballed cannons. Pops those pesky federal ships real quick. The FDL is more fun, but the Anaconda is a better earner (for me, anyway). Once I get Hostile with the local criminals, I don't need to chase them: they come to me. Anaconda can handle wings a lot better. What is your goal? Fun: FDL or FAS; profit or CG/PP work: Anaconda.

Lots of praise for the FDL, but I think you can make just as much in your Conda. Yes it can take longer to get to a target, but you take them down so much faster (especially large ships) that it offsets the FDL's speed. Also it can do things the FDL cant. You have much more room for bigger SCB's/HRP's. So you can freely attack wings, even with several large ships without having to go back for repairs/resupply. Not so easy in an FDL.

Dont get me wrong the FDL is amazing in Haz, but to say its way better than a conda, I dont know.. Personally I use a Corvette in Haz and I think its actually a bit better cr/hr than my FDL (average around 15m/hr). Also its much more relaxing, you never really feel in danger in a Corvette. But when i want some fast paced action, I dont hesitate taking the FDL, its a lot of fun. All are very good for Haz..

I'm not keen on taking the 'conda into a haz res without a fighter wingmate as escort. This way we can take on large wings without too much fuss.

Ummm.....I take my Anaconda to Haz RES sites regularly unescorted. No problems. Take on wings all the time by myself. If a Carebear can do it...... Now, Strong Signal Sources and Combat Zones, those are something else.

FDL for me.

4 x gimballed beams and a cannon.
5A shield + 4 x A0 booster, and 2 x 4A SCBs

Only time I have issues is with a wing of 3 pythons, FAS/FGS, Anacondas. Might need to take 1 or 2 out, wait for the shields to re-charge, and finish them off.

Oh, and a fuel scoop to avoid me stopping almost every jump to refuel.

Don't listen to these people who say the Anaconda is no good for a HAZ RES, they just don't know how to handle her. The Conda is a beast of a ship, admittedly, before the SCB nerf it was even better, but don't let that discourage you, it's still awesome. a couple of people have already said that all pulse lasers are the best option and I tend to agree, the main benefit obviously being no ammo reload, however I also really enjoy putting a size 4 cannon on it and practice hitting eagles, it's a lot of fun, you have to get really close. Go for the obvious, A class everything you can afford, A class Thrusters are expensive but really add to the maneuverability. make sure to pack heat sinks to counteract the SCB, and have lots of fun with it.
