Just a quick look, the one comment I'd make is that you need to get your max energy up. At your rank you should be participating in LM's and locking all elites and bosses you can see and you'll need at least 10x your rank to do that (preferable 12x). Maybe you install energy mods to rank??

Of course if you're a slow ranker, then you won't do that.

Everything else seems OK. Get 8 weapons would be a good idea, and heavy thetas if you can afford it. What do you drop?? I'd prob drop the defence, yea you'll get disabled easier, but I'm thinking that most of the ships that disable you are 100-200 ranks above you and actually the defence you have is negligible to them. And really the number of disables you have makes no difference.

But that's just how I look at it anyways.

I remember you and your fightey little ship. You are making awesome progress man, and you should move this out of the beginner's hub dude. Make a real ship log and give updates every couple months or so. It's what all the cool kids do... Yes I think I'm cool. Sue me.

And Philus I am pretty certain with the modules he has available reaching 12x rank with his ship setup for it is absolutely no problem at all. He can probably get up to 13 or 14x rank if he wants to.

On a different note... why don't you have your Aegis Capacitors yet? You are above the point where getting them provides a greater benefit than the cells would on their own.

Yes, I can get my energy to be 12x my rank. I do that when I choose to auto-rank off npcs. I forgot about getting the aegis which means I'm going to start collecting cells. Thank you philus and serne for you advice. On the side note, I don't think I'm cool enough to hang with the cool kids and their ship logs.

I would say you need to step on the gas a bit with the artifact honestly, its keeping your ship from reaching its full potential.
Other than that I think your doing ok overall. Without knowing your aims its tough however to know what style your aiming for and so what I would advise to do next.

We're all cool kids, that's why we play this game
