10+ PSA: Build Assessment - Small Rogue

Today's Build Assessment is a member of the Family

Summary
Weapons 125.70 +93%
Shields 31.26 +0%
Engines 114.65 +90%

Rogues are fun builds to use. Keep in mind that you will want to have enough shields to hit certain mining jobs. Mining isn't a lot of scratch, but 1,000 extra an hour is worth 3 points every two days - enough to get you out of the shipyard when you really don't want to be there.

I'll be honest - this is not a good build for a rogue. A rogue likes:
- Lots of engines
- Lots and lots of guns
- No malfunction

The best weapons for a Rogue are (from small to big):
- Fusion Beam
- Fusion Beam Array
- Phaser Emitter
- Phaser Emitter Array
- Any VR+ other than the Mauler Array.

I recommend going with a build like:

4x Fusion Blaster Array
1x CVII Drive Unit

The Fusion Blaster Arrays are available in the armory. I'll see about getting some CVII Drives there as well.

The armory doesn't have any Phaser Emitters. I wouldn't recommend buying any - save your money for a bigger ship.

Items in Storage
1 Class VII Energy Shield Rare
1 Class V Drive Unit Uncommon
1 Neutron Emitter Array Uncommon
1 Fusion Beam Common
1 Heavy Armor Common
4 Class I Energy Shield Very Common

Consumables
2 Diverter Mod Uncommon+
1 Alpha Centauri Rum Uncommon

The Shield can be swapped for a drive, which will allow you to run the 4 FBA, 1 CVIIDU build I mentioned above.
