People keep talking as if you can fix ship negatives with engineering mods. Yes you can, but all things are relative. If a Mamba still has weak shields and armour compared to a FDL, and you engineer it to improve those, then it'll still have weak shields and armour compared to an engineered FDL. Same with maneuverability on a Python. Or shields on a Dolphin. Or heat on a Viper.

Every ship must have downsides. It's just game balance. The only way to get around them is to adjust your style of play.
