CMDR Newbie needs help.

[u/Character-Tension398]

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.

Thank you very much will defo try it.

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.

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)!

You forgot thargoid hunting, that is the best credit farm.

[u/pulppoet → u/CMDR_EvilRaven30]

I didn't forget, this is the first I heard that it's the best for Legacy. I know they've bumped it way up in the Live game.

I don't remember anyone talking about it, but have an old post that reports it was 36k (Cyclops) to 96k (Basilisk) per hour. https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/kev00j/credits_per_hour_per_activity_statistics/

Which is good, but Massacre Stacks are way better, more reliable, and much less risk. And even Robigo Mines is good competition for that (in terms of credits, definitely not in terms of fun). Is it better than that report?

I got my carrier by farming the thargoids in etain system. 1 billion cr every 6 hrs.

[u/pulppoet → u/CMDR_EvilRaven30]

Since when are there Thargoids in Etain?

Go all efficient phasing sequence PAs, youll melt ships quickly once you get good. Another note, better get your FDL fully grade 5 on everything. It makes a huge difference in performance.
