That's to compensate for how much of a meta sweetheart it is. You will suffer one way or another.

See guys it's not just me.
Also, try Mamba, it's similar but doesn't have that awful A-frame.

If you dislike offsets like me, Dodge the Adder, Imperial Clipper and Cutter, FDL, Mamba, and Python.

Join Krait Gang. Chieftain gang is also cool. Fed Assault Ship gang is reasonable.

3 Large Hardpoints and 2 Medium hardpoints plus an SLF is an absolutely incredible amount of firepower, you might be doing it wrong lol.

Only the Fed Gunship can outgun it and that's speculation.

Have just engineered some burst lasers on my MKII and some STD multi cannons will see how she goes :)

Don't care about the offiset seating. I care about the strut that goes right through the countdown timer.

I run two Medium Bursts (Efficient, Phasing Sequence), three Large Multicannons (2x Overcharged Auto Loader, 1x High Capacity Corrosion), with a Fixed Beam Taipan. Pretty balanced damage, and NPC pilots handle fixed beam very well at any skill level.

Takes basically no Pips to Weap, so you just keep Eng and Sys up constantly. Krait is very sensitive to it's very good power Distributor

Chieftain/FAS is also really fun and pretty cheap to build too. FDL is great but that A-Frame in your off-centered face. Mamba is just off center, the canopy is less horrible.

I threw three Cytoscramblers in the SSS slots and boy oh boy if I get within 500m shields no longer exist. Also got guardian shield boosters recently, so I'm still tweaking the Chief a bit.
Extremely fun, centerline seat, no A-frames. Cozy

Is the Mamba off-centre?? Never looked it to me, and certainly not like the FDL. Also, a huge hardpoint backed by two large is just awesome

Mamba has a perfectly centered seat. And why it's superior to the FDL in every way.

The Clipper might be offset but you barely notice it. I'm assuming neither of you guys drive a car? Or that the only cars you drive are either a McLaren F1 or the Keaton-era Batmobile? 🤣
