i have changed my setup after looking at a weapon list, showing the 'damage x fire speed (DxS)'. i found out that sum weapons are better then my first choice.
i now have:

Saber
2x Kraken Type 2 (9) DxS=2032.52 -highest class 9 DxS
4x Nomad CANNON (10) DxS=2566.41 -highest class 10 DxS
1x Skyblast B Turret (9) DxS=2344 -highest class 9 turret DxS
Adv. CD mine
Ripper mine
Still trying to get Sunslayer. the Bundschuh still dont like me! (any tips to get them on my side quick?)

Cerebus & dimondback both have DxS=2346
notice the nomad cannons are more.

yes, i lost the dimondbacks. i was attacked heaverly, and they wern't attached! i dont mind though, the cerebus also isnt as good as the cannons!

and the shields go down fast enough when you get a good hit with this setup!! lol.

many of you have the eagle. i think it is too weak. it is probably quicker then the sabre, but it makes it up with armour. the titan is too slow though. saber makes the lack of armour up by its speed.

also lots of you have NM blasters. they have DxS=2540, but cannons DxS=2566.41

when i get the sunslayer, i think i will have a VERY good ship. looking at the DxS of weapons for a long time, i think these weapons are the best.

maybe a mixtre of 2x NM cannons and Dimondback/cerebus will work better as the NM cannons will make up for the power drain. but thats not for me!

great to see you all interested in this.

2 Nomad Blasters
1 Salamanca Turret
1 Hornet Cruise Disrupter

There's one flaw that you're all missing. The best ship totally depends on which mod you're running. Mods change the weighting of ships like the Sabre such that their position in the scheme of things is totally different to the unmodded FL.

For instance, the great Sabre Vs titan Debate; Try it with Rebalance. The titan is like a small defenseless child in comparison. No debate.
