My Odyssey planetary combat/ PvE bounty hunting/ Exploration DBX build

[Xenon-M]

So I got really bored and decided to build myself a pretty heavily engineered DBX (Diamond Back Explorer) for PvE bounty hunting, Exploration, and for clearing out scavengers.

Ship Name: Black Lagoon

Hardpoints=

3A fixed missile rack (High capacity-level 3 engineered)
2F (gimballed) burst laser (efficient/Oversized-level 3 engineered)
2F (gimballed) burst laser (efficient/Oversized-level 3 engineered)

Utility mounts=

OA shield booster (resistance augmented/double braced-level 5 engineered)
OI Chaff Launcher
OI Heat Sink Launcher
OD frame shift wake scanner

Core Internals=

1A Reactive surface composite (Thermal resistant/layered plating-level 5 engineered)
4A Powerplant (Overcharged-level 4 engineered)
4A Thrusters (Dirty/Drag Drives-level 5 engineered)
5A Frame shift drive (increased range-level 5 engineered)
3A Life support
4A Power distributor (Charge enhanced/cluster capacitors-level 5 engineered)
3A Sensors (Long range-level 4 engineered)
5C Fuel tank

Optional Internals=

4A Fuel Scoop
4A Shield Generator (Thermal resistant/multi-weave - level 5 engineered)
3E Cargo rack (for limpets)
3C Operations multi limpet controller (recon/collector/hatch breaker limpets)
2G Planetary vehicle hangar
1I Detailed surface scanner (expanded probe scanning radius-level 5 engineered)
1E Standard docking computer (because I am lazy)
1E Supercruise assist (because I am lazy)

Missile rack works great against scavengers. Burst lasers by themselves work great against small, medium ships and even some large ships. Has a 42ly jump range. Can scan planets extremely quickly/efficiently. Also works pretty well for exploration.

too get more out of it i would light weight life support
and also change that fuel tank to a smaller one.
shield your fuel scoop "people say it is not worth it but every little bit helps"
heat sink either lightweight it or add extra ammo , you can gain a extra .11 Ly.
all your utilities i would light weight just to squeeze that extra jump range out of her.

those are the things i would add and change. but i am just a explorer at heart so jump range matters

Your build overall as it stands posted is a light weight settlement raider/signal source material farmer and it will do great at that.

However, it will not do well as a space ship killer.

Yeah I am definitely going to shield the fuel scoop, and definitely going to make the life support lightweight, Thank you for the advice. I am not much of an explorer, but having a bit extra ly range is always a good thing :)
