So I am enjoying the Diamonback very much at the moment and while I save up for the Vulture I thought I would kit what I have out as best as I can and I came up with this:

Can you guys let me know what you would change? (Apart from the awesome name obviously :P )

Cheers!

Nice Loadout. I would switch the lasers and cannons so that the lasers are on the medium hardpoints. I would also put a SCB in place of the discovery scanner.

Thank you. I have applied those changes.

I was thinking of putting on 2D Beam Lasers but I don't have enough power for them. Would you try to fit them in or is 1E sufficient?

You should be able to run 2D gimballed beams with a little power management. Set your FSD, fuel scoop, and interdictor to #3, and disable your cargo hatch. That way when you deploy hardpoints those items will power down, giving you the power needed for the beams.

This is the loadout and power configuration I am thinking about for you.....

Thank you JohnLuke. So its ok to go into the red of the power consumption but it just means that things outside of Priority 1 won't work

Yup, you are correct. Just setup those priorities on your modules screen in game, and you should be fine. I recommend testing it before you go into combat, just to be sure. ;)

So I tried it with the bigger beam lasers and they drained my power really quickly as opposed to when they were on the small hardpoints. I am still running a B4 powerplant so maybe that's the problem but for now I reverted to having the multicannons as medium.

I did manage to find 4A Thursters though :)
