best ship setup??? add your best setup!

Sabre:

4x Nomad CANNON (class 10)
2x Wyrm Type 2 (class 9) (best class 9)
1x Salamanca Turret(class 9 - there is no class 10 turret, best class 9))
1x Sunslayer torpedo
1x Mine (cant remeber the best one)

2x DIAMONDBACK(class 10 - not attached, but can be) (best class 10)
2x CEREBUS (class 10 - not attached, but can be) (best class 10)

Does anyone dissagree with these suggestions? is there a better class 9 laser? (firekill is too slow i think, this ones bit faster, and good damage)

I'd add a couple of Tizona Del Cid Class 9s for depleting shields instead of the Wyrm 2s, but that's just me.

Carrying unmounted Class 10s seems a bit risky to me, what if some utter nob-jockey pounces on you while you're docking, as happened to me tonight?

Eagle:

level 9: Tizona Del Cid
level 9: Tizona Del Cid
level 10: Nomad Blaster
level 10: Nomad Blaster
level 10: Nomad Cannon
level 10: Nomad Cannon
- Sunslayer Torpedo
- Ripper Mine
- Adv Countermeasure dropper

i love this setup, sometimes i replace the 2 blasters, or the 2 cannons for Skyblast B's, cause they have a nifty firerate and a nice damage, but mostly, this setup fine.
I have 2 cannons and 2 blasters, since the cannons do more damage, but de blasters have a slightly better fire rate

i also tried a 2x Cerberus + 2x Diamondback combo, very effective, bit the poor fire rate and high enery drainage make em less suitable for battle with for example 9 Bounty Hunters at once :/

Had a mod on on my lan server and had this setup on an Eagle

2xSkyblast b's
2 Paralyzer Missiles
2 Cannonball Missiles
1 Nomad Turret
1 Sunslayer
1 Adv Champion Class10 shield (11000 shield!)

Fire 2 Paralyzers at the oncoming target and it takes out the shield and some weapon energy, then turn round and fire 2 cannonballs as they head in for another attack, if all 4 missiles hit then it is unbeatable everytime, no matter what ship or shield or pilot.

Obviously, im not a fan of the big class 10 fighters everyone else flies, but here are my favorites in my ships:

Hammerhead, Centurion:

4x Kracken II ( Class 9 )
2x Adv. Debilitator ( Class 8 )

This combo works better on the Centurion, because even with the Kracken's efficiency, the power drain is very high.

Falcon:

3x Kracken I ( Class 8 )
2x Debilitator ( Class 7 )

What can I say, I'm sold on the Krackens. Fast, large projectile, long range, nearly 5 to one hull damage to energy ratio, plus not weak against Positron shields.
