Best armor/reinforcement mods for bounty hunting Vulture?

[Aelin Galathynius]

Current build: https://eddp.co/u/Wgf1ptpB

I had a quick look around online and the generally recommended options seem to be either go with lightweight armor and mod it heavy duty because 0T mass makes you more manouverable or go for military grade composite and mod with lightweight which gives more protection without increasing weight too much.


Anyone have an advice on this? There's so many other options for armor I'm really not sure what to go for.

I went with g5 lightweight on reactive armour... Couple of 1d module reinforcements.

Rely on it's shields and agility instead of armour. If your shields go down while you're flying a Vulture, you're doing it wrong.

Check out my build. The Vulture is a fast, hard hitting ship, once you get past shield the canopy pops and thats annoying. Hull tanking doesnt compliment the ship or the play style of the ship. This build is for bounty hunting.
- I use a 5c bi-weave and 3 OA shield booster, and a specialized shield cell bank 4B, and basically I stay out till I run out of MC ammo
- I use the lightweight bulkhead with Heavy Armor mod because it adds no weight!
- I do have one HRD, but honestly leave it off half the time, if anything I'd go lightweight mod
- Both my MC and Beam are L5 Overchaged, the damage is just devastating. I kill small ships in literally seconds. I tried pulse first, then burst, then beam efficient, and finally just L5 overchaged beam. It generates heat, but who cares, by the time you overheat they are dead, Or heck wait 5 seconds.
I have an interdictor on at all times, in case a ship wants to bolt, and a AMFU for minor repairs so I dont have to dock, and a docking computer, because docking is stupid.
-Such a fun ship to fly.Have fun out there

- Lastly I use the SCB as a flexible slot, you rarely need it for combat anyway, Fuel scoop for travel, and Cargo for light missions.

The only change I might do is for PvP change the bulkead to Reactive with the thermal mod. It adds wieght but that would be worth it for the resistances. But for standard PvE farming the above build works more than fine.

either of these. i switch it out every once in awhile. its a pain in the ass sometimes, but i cant stick with those beam lasers that long because they're not infinite like the pulse lasers are with 4 pips in wpn. granted, my DPS increases and people die quicker but they overheat bad and if im hunting down wings of 3, id rather be able to get more firepower vs my shields going down quicker

Im not a fan of either of those because the dual pulse will take forever to kill anything, the range is nice though, but vulture is a close fighter quick killing ship. And the dual beam is just too power hungry and generates way too much heat. Best thing about a all laser build is no ammo ! But.. one beam and one MC compliment each other is so many ways.

The weapons will be laser + multi cannon for effectiveness or laser + plasma accelerator because I like using that and want to get better at aiming the pa.

I'm just looking for advice on the armor.
