Proud owner of 15 ships all engineered.
But which is my personal favourite? And more importantly, why?
Sting
Fer De Lance
X4 short range rails super pen (except one with feedback cascade)
1 huge rapid firing gimballed mc with corrosive.

This post is about why Sting is my favourite ship.
Very simple to fly. Turns on a dime. Engines sound is powerful.
But it's her stability using rails that l like most. No other ship is as good for railing, in my humble opinion.
She's fast, has to be her Short range rails only score hits within a km or 2.
Lighter and more reliant on her shields.
I had biweaves in but fancied a change fitting normal shields.
x2 scbs ensure she's well protected.
She can single volley kill small ships in a haz rez.
Against cmdrs she's devastating!!! Plenty of heatsinks to offset that horrendous heat those rail volleys give off. But seriously, 2 or 3 volleys its over. And all the while that sick mc chattering away softening the targets hull.
I don't care about ammo.
And she is sometimes refitted with an interdictor and biweaves for duelling and pvp.
It's hard to miss a volley close up. Sniping the PP ensures easy targeting indicator and a quicker end for the unfortunate victim.
A rated fsd and a scoop sometimes if she's out hunting in open for those pesky interlopers and fed/empire merit runners hehehe.
D rated fsd shielded if she's carrier based fighting locally.
Eventually I'll buy another and do an ax build with these new fancy modified plasma chargers.
But for now I'm very happy with my non meta lethal FDL.
