I am creating a character, and I choose the Moldy Crow for his fighter (I am very design guided =P)
Thing is, the ship has 2 class 8 and 4 class 9 guns, but I flied mostly transports till this day and I'm not very acquainted to the fighter's destructive weapons of today...
I'm not looking for suggestions of ships, since I know there are other ships with better hardpoints, powerplant and whatever than the Moldy with a similar cost, but instead, I need oppinions about the equipment.
What you, experienced pilots and dogfighters of the verse suggest for me outfitting the Crow?
btw, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this x.x
I looked and this one seemed to be the one that fitted. If not, sorry admins/mods/users =x
1. Get a mini Razor
2. a)If it is a faction ship then get all faction guns
b)If not a faction ship then. Get 4 Purple goddess(class 9) and 2 wildfire chainguns(class 8) and 1 Delibrator turret(class 4) with projectile speed of 700m/s
The very very low DPS of flashpoints is exceedingly hard to kill something with. I cant say It cant be done, but it certainly isnt easy. If you -must- use civillian guns, use the godesses, which are still underwhelming.
My advise is to rely On the Debs and the MR, or A Starkiller for hull damage.

No.
The Crow doesn't have nearly enough energy for this.
Four hullbusters, three pulse (two class 8 and the turret). Use weapon groups.
Use a CD. Force less agile enemies (that is, pretty much all of them) out of engine kills and abuse your agility to stay behind or to the side of your target.
Okay, due to tests and factions restringments, I had to mix the loadouts suggested by you guys.
It came out like this:
2 Adv. Debs MkI (class 8)
4 Fury 5 (class 9)
1 Purple Goddess TUrret (class 5)
aand a Starkiller or minirazor, not sure which yet, but they're not as important as the main cannons right now.
The setback is the power drain, since the Crow is pretty low on that aspect and about 4-5 seconds of sustained fire drains her core, but it doesn't seem to affect shields regen and she dodges enemy fire like Walter Payton dodges linebackers!
Again, thanks for the quick and very helpful replies.
If someone thinks there's something wrong with the choosen loadout, f... just write them below. =P
If you're having energy issues, do not use a Mini Razor. And you are having energy issues. Furies aren't bad power-wise, but they're a bit deficient in the efficiency department.
And if you fly alone and expect to actually kill anything, you need a CD. Otherwise, they'll just run from you.
Because your main guns are Photon, I strongly suggest replacing the PG turret with a debilitator. Photon guns are crap for killing enemy shields, since almost everyone uses Graviton.
