It was just example of type-10 pvp review by pvper.

That ship is referred as "common noob trap" in some sources.

SakashiroMy advice: Don't just blindly use someone else's build. Make your own, test it and analyse its flaws, then correct them, step by step. Outfitting is half the game, don't skip it.



as you say it is part of the game, but I do not fully understand what things all mean so am learning by asking.. ED is also a game about the Community!

Nothing wrong with asking questions. But often the answer will be "That build is garbage, try this one!"

The ship is a very common noob trap. The guide gives the best build you can possibly get for a pvp t10 but its still complete garbage.

Sir Sprockettnow I would like to make Mrs Malaprop (type 10) a laser death star - this is the build I am going for - what are your thoughts?

Don't let some of these guys get you down. If you have the time and cash, go for it.
Earlier this week, I built out a T10 loaded with turreted lasers and a SLF and had fun with it hanging around some resource zones. It's great at taking out wings of small fast ships.

Yeah, many are more interested in FPS* rather than DPS.

(*Fun per Second)

I agree, play the game your way have fun and don't let anyone else tell you how to play.

In many games I would use the "best" builds, min/max, etc. I tried them for a long time, but they never felt as good as they supposedly were. Then I decided to build around my playstyle and make the min/max less extreme. I ended up being far superior at those games than I ever was before and they were a lot more fun. This game has more factors to consider but that is still the approach I take. You can either adjust your playstyle to your build or vice-versa (or neither). As long as you are happy with it.

Although, I agree with personal satisfaction it is a fact that type-10 is just type-9 with better PP, PD and armor. This do not make it combat ship. It is just harder to kill hauler.

Style, skill and a good set of thrusters can get you where you want to be.

The T-10 is indeed a sad ship compared to the big 3. But I'll still let people use it and try to help them with it. It's bad yes but it's still a combat ship and if someone wants to have fun rather than being effective or just wants to learn it themselves I'm not gonna stop them. Eventually they figure out the Anaconda is better and eventually they figure out how to do something with the Corvette and Cutter. If at that point they still have more fun in a T-10 or like the ship more for it's looks I won't judge

I like this comment (as we don't have 'likes' here), as it contains nice suggestions for 'progress'

Being 'odd' myself I actually enjoy the lumbering hulk the T-10 is, even more so than the Cutter. With that cockpit it also makes a very good explorer even when not 'lightened', providing the player doesn't mind the small, in comparison to accepted exploration ships, jump range.

Oh, I do not mind people using whatever they want. However, they need to know that their "awesome" is actual garbage.

... I even saw a CMDR flying AspS in open and send him direct message : "Respect!"

That's exactly the point. Doing things in garbage builds is how you earn street cred in this game.
