So the meta hasn't really changed at all. Sad, i was hoping some of those tech broker modules had adjusted it
Not sure for the change as it is like this since I started playing ( 18 months ago). Nothing new added in that time. So , the meta is Shield/Bank tanks with PAs and rails with FDL being the pinnacle thanks to the 6 utility slots, good hardpoint convergence and general maneuverability.

(but it's a matter of tastes, of course)

I just heard that it got its crown after the buff and engineering overhaul.

Shield tank cutters and FDLs everywhere. Nope, nothing's changed. I started almost exactly 4 years ago, took a hiatus for a while. I'm back
I'm Otoha, The Dropship Guy. Nice to meet you

EpisparhI think it wasn't always like that and FDL received a buff but I did not care to research how bad it was or what was buffed.

Description says it's a specialized high-performance combat ship and I see no wonder of actually being up to this role. Doing anything else is... awkward at best.
SakashiroI would like to try the FDL, but the fact that it's so slow really bothers me.
500 m/s with engineered + clean exp.effect thrusters. Dirty tuning can do even more, but heat is gonna be the problem.

The Fednecks offer an overcharged AND armoured powerplant.
The Empire offers a shield generator with both kinetic AND thermal resistances.

Slow? It is just 50m/s slower than the usual Mamba and can boost under 5 sec with far greater lateral thruster and +20% pitch rate.... Speed is important only when running ...
... and running is for the prey

Amata LireinNew CGs are up. Bring in medicine to the Empire and Federation to treat bombing victims. Double engineered rewards again, but Class 3 A-rated.

I guess I will be getting both
Not sure what will do with them though. The shield is probably useful for some small traders or really small PvE combat ships. The PP maybe more useful for downsizing at some explorers or getting more juice in small ships.18 Mar 2021, 1:35pm

I think I've seen that quote on a bumper sticker on an escape pod somewhere.

Oh wait, no FSD? Bummer...

Got this. Actually, an awesome chance to get those permits without running errands and licking a boot.
