ok... so as a combat ship you need to focus on keeping it light and getting A grade thrusters and keeping everything either C or upgrading to A. The few things u can keep at D like jump drive and environmental systems also helps.. do all this and u can get a great fighter out of it. The shields are beast when u put bi-weave 6 and 3 A boosters. I load mine out as follows;

L1: Beam laser 3 (gimb or fixed)

L2: Beam laser 3 (gimb or fixed)

L3: Multicannon 2 (gimb)

M1: Multicannon 2 (gimb)

M2: Multicannon 2 (gimb)

The purpose for this is to keep it light weight while allowing the best possible burst dps and the beams allow for sustained shield dropping capabilities. The tripple multi's shred the hull while allowing the energy to recharge. Once multi's reload, use beams again. If u happen to find a shieldless target with everything loaded and recharges... let it all out, drop em like a fly.

I do this because i want to mine or run cargo with it as well... being a multipurpose ship, i hate being forced to do one thing.  Buying an FDL for a single purpose or two seperate ships (one for mining, one for combat) means poorer versions of each.. so i do this and refit as necessary.
