So there was some Legion setup discussion in other threads, and there were some interesting ideas, what do you think of this one?
Are you referring to the one where this mad luddite desperately wants to play low tech only vanilla campaigns and not be bashed over the head by the game for it? I would not take anything he says seriously
The ship itself looks like it's going to be very able to hold its own in the frontline and provide massive point defence to its allies. With that said, I'd do the following:
First things first, retrofitting looks quite alright ...if I do say so myself! The only one I'm not so sure about being Hardened shields. Not because it's not good, mind you, it's one of the best hullmods in the game and I integrated it myself on my own XIV Legions in the previous campaign I completed.
I would've integrated something like
Reinforced Bulkheads instead, especially because I can see you're going to the Full Armor route with both Heavy Armor and Armored Weapon Mounts. I would also suggest you to try and install Solar Shielding too since it heavily reduces energy damage and almost amounts to installing Hardened Shields twice against incoming energy damage!
Secondly...that's a lot of point defence capability my dear Luddite (or Luddette?), some might argue it's even too much of it! I'd probably do three things:
1)I'd cut all but one (maybe two) Xyphos wings for offense focused fighter/bomber LPCs
2)I would cut both Devastators for two Mk.9 Autocannons
3)I would fill all the small ballistic turrets with 3OP light machineguns and replace those two flaks for 12OP Dual Flaks
Thirdly...the Sabot Pod is a very good medium missile weapon, but you don't have Expanded Missile Racks Hullmod for it! I would replace both missile pods and that Heavy autocannon for 3 Heavy maulers instead!
LastlyYou're going to want a steady/aggressive officer with the following skills:
Elite Point Defence
Elite Strike Commander
Gunnery Implants
Reliability Engineering
Shield Modulation
Target Analysis
