Hi All,
I've been researching the build out for certain ships as I was really confused and found I was leveling up parts that were not the best for the ship.
So I thought I'd start this so others can put their ship build out down so we can all compare notes pros/ cons.
I'll start with my Advanced Raider:
2xMedium Range Cannons Type A
1xLong Range Missile Type B1
1xMining Cannon Gouger
1xGogon Viral Cluster
1xMineral Analysis Cluster
1xGyro
1xRCS Ducting
1xOvercharger (found this is not a good choice recently but not replaced it yet)
1xTurbo Boosters
1xRCS Slide
1xStrike System Redundancy
1xHull Plating
I was looking at the forums and really a lot of folks go for
3xTurbo (or 2xTurbo and 1xRCS Ducting)
2xGyro
2xHull Plating
1xSpeed Buff
1xWeapon Buff
I have an advanced Raider and have a slightly different setup.
4 x Disabler P autocannons (level 2)
1 x Mineral Analysis Cluster (level 4)
2 x Turbo Boosters (level 4)
1 x Strike Hull Plating (Level 2)
2 x Gyro (level 2)
1 x High Capacitor Cluster (Level 1)
1 x Strike System Redundancy (Level 2)
1 x FTL Coupling (Level 6)
Not sure if this is OK but I'm working on it.

What I've read suggests great with the turbos and gyros. One more turbo would make you very fast and the two gyros are plenty to account for the speed and hull plates.
The capacitor is a waste as you have no high power add ons to support.
That and the FTL coup would better be replaced with a speed and turning virus attack and enhancer.
A second hull plate would work well.

I'm not shifting my FTL Coup as it saves me spending my game time jumping! :rolleyes:
What's a speed and turning virus attack and enhancer? Never heard of it ?
The enhancer is a computer support addon that improves your agility for a short period. A turning virus attack is a computer warfare addons that slow and cripple enemy ships. TL and I use these quite a lot. As a fighter it might be wise to have one to help you take on equally agile Interceptors.
Your interceptor is all about speed and agility so enhancing those features is a good plan as is crippling the speed and agility of your enemy.

That FTL Coupler is lucky to save you one hop in 10 Pen. I used it for weeks and I can't see a benefit to it at all over having a decent computer weapon fill the slot.
I'm pretty crap with the names of these part, but the one that slows down your target and stops them turning quickly is great, just catch them as you approach and you can get 3 or 4 attacks in before it runs out. Then one that makes you faster and turn quicker will make you even harder to beat vs strikes and Escorts won't get a look in, they'll be dean in seconds since you have the upgraded cannons.
Honestly FTL Coupling is s waste of a slot.
Here's a URL with all the computers described. I use Gorgon and Cerebrus but Harpy is useful:

i have a Liche
and i have found it to be pretty awsome, although some what slow, the fire power more than makes up for it, and it can really make a dent
it starts with 6 guns, and some basic equipment, but nothing fancy
the biggest change is it has 2 areas of slots(weapons, comp, etc)
one on the left and one on the right- these are for the upper and lower decks
the key differance is the gun slots on the left and right, and ensuring that you put the right weapon on the side you want.....
after a few test runs i ran with 3 guns, 3 missile launchers... not a good combo, as you run out of power quick...
2nd run i changed 1 gun for a mining battery( free shots, and does far more damage to a rock vs standard gun)
so my ship looks like this
Lower deck
Sensor lvl 3 Capasitor lvl 3
Maimer gun lvl 3
Mining Gun lvl 4 Maimer battery lvl 3
HT Composite armour (reduced crit damage & gives some hp)
RCT Ducting (+ ship avoidance)
Upper Deck
Mineral analysis lvl 3
Maimer Gun battery lvl 3
Missile Battery(target select) lvl 4 System Repair(hp regen) Maimer battery(target select)
Hp plate lvl 4
engine engine lvl 4
i found by having 5 guns(this includes the mining battery) works very well - more so for taking out drones, and by having only 1 missile launcher, this enables me to keep firing all the time(low energy loss)
the only down side i can see from my set up is the left side is weak(mining gun & missile launcher) but i just rotate in order to get a lock on with the missile launcher and right side gun battery
really wanting the next upgrade- more guns !
