I prefer EDSY, but then I also look at Elite Dangerous Ship Anatomy to fully understand where my utility slots are placed and what is the hard points convergence, so I can optimize my weapon placement

EpisparhEDSY gives way more information than coriolis, although coriolis is easier to use

EpisparhCutter is fine apart from the m6 and m7 on the wings. This makes them unusable for mining lasers. All other are relatively tightly grouped. This is why I laught at Sakashiro's cutter build recently. For mining you kind of need to sacrifice 2 large hardpoints to have 4 well grouped mining lasers.

My Cutter build only exists in EDSY atm. How can you tell which medium hardpoint in their form maps to which one on the ship? And why would this even matter? The point of EDSY is to predict a build's energy requirements, damage output etc.

You laugh but I also run mining lasers on the wings of my Cutter and have no problem with them. Works just fine. I save the large hardpoints for weapons incase of pirates. Sure it seems weird but it works.
EpisparhAnd do not even bother with the "noob trap" AKA type-10. The worst possible hardpoints placement currently in the game.
EpisparhAre you trying to convince me it is good idea or do you not understand that those are mounted 100m away from each other on the back of a 200m long ship. That gives you operational range of 300m and the convergence is so bad that with some rocks you will miss with one of them even if the other hits top left or right side?
Light-Hawk When I actively went laser mining, I never found a good asteroid to mine that was too small to keep both lasers on. Maybe it's purely coincidental but any asteroid I found that was worth mining was also big enough to keep both lasers on.
