[PvE] Non-engineered Krait Mk. II versus Threat Level 8 pirate NPC...

Link to build: s.orbis.zone/neyz
A 100% non-engineered Krait Mk. II build for players who have yet to engineer modules but who nonetheless would like to try PvE combat in Elite Dangerous: Odyssey against high level "human" NPCs. The ship and all the modules can be purchased. Unlike most PvE builds, this build uses all fixed weapons, which I think can help players develop skills useful in PvE and PvP. This build relies heavily on hot banking SCBs to keep shields up and chaff launchers to reduce the effectiveness of the NPC's multi-cannons.
Not recommended for use against players in engineered ships. Don't fly without rebuy.

This used to be a lot harder when the other ships in the pirate wings attacked as well.. but still, this is no easy target.

[@egmont5044]

Yeah. Only 3 banks left when the Vultures got involved. I don’t think my ship was up to it and the pressure on my shields would have been even greater if all ships had attacked at once. Regardless, non-engineered ships should not be able to defeat engineered ships.

I have a Slightly Engineered FDL Build, but i Did not even Managed to Go trough 35%
When i did this Mission for my First time...
escaped with only 1% Hull ​@@egmont5044

@@RatziFatzi Non-engineered FdL is not very good. Not much distro or power and not much space for SCB/hull.

It's not supposed to be like that anymore? Half the time I go into these sorts of missions the instant I attack one ship I get 6-10 enemy ships that suddenly appear out of nowhere and fight me simultaneously. I literally can't do a threat level 8 mission without extensive engineering, popping scb's almost constantly, and even then I can only take out my mission target before I need to retreat. This was as recently as 3 days ago...

@@RatziFatziNot surprising. Non-engineered/lightly engineered FdL is a bit of a dog.
