Your FDL Settup and what would you change?

I usually swap between 1 C3 beam + 4 C2 multi cannons or just 5 plasma accelerators. The 5 PAs is a power hog, but it's very entertaining to destroy ships before they even realize they have been shot.

I played around with something similar haha

4 med rails, 1 huge plasma
6 heat sinks

Again, toggling the 4 rails on/off to allow for the plasma.

Very impractical, insanely fun & satisfying

I would also say that since Huge weapons are currently... lacking... at the moment, consider using a C3 pulse/burst. The C4 cannon isnt as impressive as it seems.

Instead of toggling on/off the rails by hand you could set the pa priority higher than the rails and switch pa on/off so it's just one weapon to toggle instead of 4.

Edit: seeing your previous post I think you already knew this ;)

I really liked this one:
http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=70O,4zg4yG4yG5Rg5Rg01Q01Q0Wg3we0_g0_g,317_7_6Q6Q9Y6k5A,7Sk7gy4_w9qI0nE

That fixed large beam (and the two mediums) hit pretty hard and the two gimbaled pulse lasers give you something to hit the nimbler targets with. The setup work also with all pulse lasers, but is slightly less fun.

Edit:
As it was asked above the three beams are borderline for the FDL. With three pips to weapons, you run out of energy before overheating. With 4 pips, you should keep an eye on your heat gauge.

I tried a C3 Gimballed beam together with 4 Multicannons. Heat was no problem with it.

Yeah, tried that. Heat was no issue, but I found the single beam not able to do enough damage fast enough, and the multis ran outta ammo really fast.

Maybe you'll have more luck with the bottom hardpoint, but I could only ever use it with a fixed weapon. The C4 cannon doesn't do as much damage as you might think, unless you can land it on a module consistently, which is a cast-iron B for me. I eventually just cut out the huge hardpoint and went with 2x beams and 2x multi-cannon. The multicannon have enough hull damage to counteract the class penalty against hulls. Killed plenty of Anaconda powerplants with this loadout, and you can save power for shields/scbs whatever.

Armor is basically useless weight in PvP, from all I've heard and seen. They'll target a module, and armor won't help.

So the c3 beam is viable for the FDL? I'm out exploring and can't test it haha

I had a C3/G on my FDL and the laser would overheat when i fired my pulse lasers. even not using the beam laser at all if i fired my pulse lasers 5 times the beam laser would say it was overheating. which makes no sense to me at all. the beam laser is a separate system from the other systems so only the weapons being fired should be affected by heat.
