Great vid, but nothing new for me, I already walked your road, and managed to get the best - I think - from this ship. I use 4 concord cannons g5 overcharged, with autoloader ( cuz the fraking devs still do not fix the reload bug, months after was reclaimed...) a turreted frag with drag munition and a small MG with corrosive. Both G5 on high ammo. I use a prismatic with fast reload, with only give me up to 2000 on shields, but I have one less shield booster than you cuz I put there a G5 fast scanner (2 seconds). Instead of hoarding Guardian shield packs, I put an AFM class 3A ( very handy for accidents like you experienced : ) a Guardian FSD Booster, and a 4A fuel scoop. The big advantage of Prismatic is the fact will allow you just one pipe during the fight, the same 1 pipe for weapons ( the big adv of cannons and frags vs MCs - they do not deplete so fast the PD) - so I can stay with 4 pips in engines - that allow the great Mandy to stay, practically, GLUED on the target tail, taking almost no return fire. I confess I use a fast key ( I use a multibutton programmable mouse with 18 keys, since I can only use one hand...I am disabled) so before opening fire I target the PP or FSD, depends on target. Once the shields are down, the Concord Cannons are spectacular, killing a module in just ONE burst, max 2. If I face 2 or more NPC I switch the max pipes in shields and keep only one in engines and one in weapons - the ship can tank a lot more with 4 pips in shields. Since I switched to this build, never I lost my shields, the lowest I get was some 9% when I just boost away 14-16km and use the "repair"sequence who will restore shields at 50% in 10-12 seconds. Is not as great as the FdL, I agree with you ( I use also 4 Concord in FdL, and for the Huge point, also a cannon with short range blaster G5) and is devastating... But FdL is highly specialized for combat, while the Mandy is good ( not great) at combat but excels, unlike the FdL, at MULTI-TASK. With 54 LY jump range, good firepower, decent cargo, is THE best ship for the power weekly tasks. I do not regret paying the ARX for her, like I regret spending on the Type 8... Mandy is a joy to fly, and a very sexy lady. Just keep her shields up always, bc, like any woman, the body is fragile.
incorrect: thermal conduit starts working from 90%, adding additional 1% of damage up to 150%. But the "problem" of the ship that it had decent heat dissipation which doesn't allow to heat up to desired temperature with such weapon config, You may check my tech vid as refference: ua-cam.com/video/dNEwVZnPMXU/v-deo.html

From what I've been told, thermal conduit, you need to be above 150% heat to effectively get more damage output. You were below 100% heat.
