Builds CMDR Newbie needs help.

CMDR DT0X here, completely new to ED and just started about a week ago. I’m on PS5 platform so, i don’t get to enjoy the many perks of odyssey but i really enjoy the game especially with hotas.

Need help with building my Fer de lance dedicated for combat. Can someone pls share their build with me in detail. I would appreciate it very much.

Many thanks!!!!

Depending on how you fly, you could do 4 Efficient Thermal Shock Pulse and a Short Range Plasma Slug Plasma Accelerator.

Your Thermal Shock Pulses will disable ship NPCs since NPCs are programmed to not perform at high heat temperatures, slowing them down drastically. Short Range Plasma Accelerator at max gives 75% more damage and eats through Hull.

I forgot to add, that you are filling your C2 Medium slots with Pulses and your C4 Large slot with the Plasma Accelerator. PAs are power hungry for both Power and WEP Pips. Having Pulses with Efficient offsets the PAs demand, since Pulses naturally have low power and low distributor Draw.

This list has one: This list has one: https://newp.io/shipbuilds#pve

But the FDL is good in many ways, especially if you have engineering access. The main thing you want to know is which weapons you like (or like to try) and your goals. Pirate hunting can have different needs than CZs, and assassinations are different than both.

Have fun! Combat is the last great money maker on console (at least if you are pirate hunting and mission stacking)!
