Favorite FDL hardpoint setup?

Like the title suggests, what is everybody's favorite FDL hardpoint setup? Currently, I'm running:

  • 2 Pack Hound missile racks engineered for high capacity and the Drag Munitions experimental

  • 2 Railguns with short range engineering, one with Feedback Cascade and one with Super Penetrator

  • 1 Huge Beam Laser, with short range engineering and thermal vent

I am completely in love with this setup. The beam and rails can dish out over 200 damage in a 1 second burst, which is enough to one-shot many of the smaller ships. 4 or 5 Railgun shots, when combined with continuous beam fire, is usually enough to strip the shields off of anything, even an Elite Anaconda. The packhounds are just icing on the cake. 2 volleys are enough to completely overwhelm point defense and severely damage enemy hardpoints.

What do y'all think about this setup? What would you change? I have thought about going with 4 railguns, but idk if my distributor can handle it. I have also thought about switching to Imperial Hammers, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Does anybody use the Hammers?
