No prob geezer.......

I love my Asp...So any chance to show it off is a bonus......

Oh and the vid called "Random shite" in the vids section shows me taking down 3 Eagles and a wing of two cobras and a viper....

Yep......

I'll post my spec when I can find it......

Here tis.....

Combat effectiveness really comes down to how good you are and knowing your limits and knowing how your ship handles......I make use of the thrusters a lot in combat.......Also FA off if needed..

There are videos of my combat style in the video section of the forum.....

I have taken down a wing of three on a few occasions.....

I don't use shield cells as can be seen.....Also just ditched the point defence.....Never got used......So that's the empty slot....

Being set up like this I can do whatever I fancy......Obviously not as good as a dedicated ship build....But suits my play style as I get bored quickly and I can just go off and do something else......

Hello,
Thanks for the config post.

I was just wondering: Is it worth fitting the Asp with Class 6 shields?

Currently, when I go into combat in CZs I've the Class 5 shield generator, 2 shield boosters (A and B rated) and a 3A SCB. I normally find myself using my SCBs and chaff, when fighting Anacondas.

Regards.

It's easy to tell, go to the Coriolis site and put your build in there. Look at shields and power usage. Then go to the other shields with no boosters and compare. Are the shields stronger? Is the power lower? Is the cost less or more? You can even save the two and select compare and look st it side by side.

Shield strength is measured in MJ (Mega Joules, I assume...or something similar?). Websites like coriolis and edshipyard will give you a hard number for the strength of your shields. Tracking this number as you move things around/swap generators/etc... should give you a pretty good idea of what your cost/benefit ratios will be.

Here is a segment of an edshipyard readout for the stock sidewinder, shields are the first thing listed in the second half of the report (under weapons/internals)

Shield: 52.00 MJ
Power : 4.46 MW retracted (70%)
5.24 MW deployed (82%)
6.40 MW available
