A Word About These Builds

These builds serve as templates and examples, with the intention that you can learn from them, experiment on your own and come up with your own builds. Many of the core build ideas can be directly copied to any other ship in the game.

It's okay if you don't have exactly everything that a certain build has - you may have some tweaks of your own in mind, or if you are on a budget and still working on your build, there are plenty of alternatives with similar effectiveness. We're all working on our builds and piloting, and even players who have every item in the game debate which is best in a given situation - unlike PvE which is easier to observe and test in, PvP is against ever changing and adapting enemies. This means that something that works best against one player might be different against another depending on their build.
