Build Description
I wanted that a ship can allow me to sit in a CZ and pick targets for a while without needing constant reload. My usual Killer ship is the FDL, but I was nostalgic of the FAS (not as much firepower). The chieftain was not satisfying, so I built it of the Krait MKII ( similar max boost speed but with 1 additional Large). It definitely helps me in my collection of manufacture material.
However, I don’t think it will do well against an experienced PVP Player. It will definitely keep you in the fight, but its mobility will hinder especially if you are facing a FDL.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Ship is tanked with an equilibrated resistance
Good shield resistance
adequate boost speed when you need to get the heck out of dodge
can keep the pression on the enemy
allows to sit in the CZ for a long time(before need for a reload)
Cons
Jump range is very sub-par
Shield’s health is not the best
Won’t permit max collection for Bounty and keep at the same time an equilibrated resistance on shield ( you must give up a shield booster for a Kill warrant)
May not be suited for a beginner. On the other hand if you have the money, then you are at the very least seasoned
May require AO to keep small ship in target
Materials Required
The following numbers assume the following rolls required to progress:
Grade 1 rolls - 2
Grade 2 rolls - 4
Grade 3 rolls - 5
Grade 4 rolls - 7
Grade 5 rolls - 10
This can vary greatly since rolls are randomized events, which means these are at best estimates to target.
