Ok, I worked out a build for a Rail gun Conda for PvE (that have the engineers that I can reasonably get to, maybe not G5 for non key ones) and I would like some advice (esp if its some other engineers that I missed that I can easily unlock, IE not behind a long ass chain).
Namely, I figured that prismatic / 7A normal shield has too high of power draw (alongside the SCBs and fighting for utility with heatsinks vs shield boosters). So I went with hull tanked with Bi-Weave, but I am not that expert at balancing raw vs resists yet (esp vs PvE vs PvP fits).
For example I only have G3 beams while I can G5 the railguns, and I can G5 the armor and hull reinforcement but only G1 on the shield boosters.
So there would be some intermediary steps to this build but I think most of the key ones (power plant, distributor, railguns with less thermal load experimentals, hull tank stuff) are there already. While the nice to haves like shield, heatsink ammo and stuff are kind of there eventually to be added on.
So I am hoping to get some advice on both the final product, and if there is something I've missed.
