I have been using the rail/PA build, I hadn't even considered OC cannons having the same profile as focused plasma. I'm going to have to check that out. Thanks Bob.Since you mentioned using it as an evasive flying + PA trainer...I have a fast/light Viper build I use for this purpose and just messing around that uses a biweave shield, undersized HRPs to keep weight down, and matched velocity small overcharged cannons + G1 focused plasma that ends up mimicking an all-plasma FDL. Boosts up to 650 and just one targeting reticle to worry about. Fun ship.
