Yes, Commander FFRAM, please let us know how the Engineered MC's are working for you. What did you put on as the Main Engineering? Overcharged? Combo of Overcharged and the Experimentals you mentioned are great combos, even if you suffer a small hit on Ammo capacity.

It's been a long time since I bought a new ship (not counting the Type 10 in drydock). The Chieftain Pirates were pretty potent adversaries, so was wondering about that ship. Of course the Chieftains all seemed to have the Shield Breaching munitions so maybe it wasn't the ship so much as the armament. Still, I always had a soft spot for the Alliance, so I'm glad their ship is getting some love. One of the reasons I went with a Taipan for my fighter (though now the Guardian Lance gets most of the action).
