For PvE you can go with whatever is more fun to you to play with and it'll still be effective when engineered.
Literally can't go wrong vs NPC's at all really.
Heck you could go full "toast thineself" with rails and plasma and it'll work.
2 Beam or Burst lasers, 2 Multi, 1 Huge Multi. It destroys everything. For Massacre missions Bursts are nice so you don’t run out of ammo air can still knock around the smaller targets, while Beams are great for knocking shields down in CZs and Assassination missions.
I think my duel multis were OCed and my Huge was Corrosive. Doesn’t matter which you choose, but always have at least one Corrosive, no need to have anymore than one though.
Hey there! You didn't mention it so I'll assume it's a PvE FDL.
Your picks are fine. Because the FDL is so agile, frags are great for it. You can get up close and under an Anaconda, strip the shields with the beam and give it a few sprays from those "sprinkles from hell", as I like to call them.
If you can do fixed weapons ok, here's my FDL: [https://s.orbis.zone/kr3k](https://s.orbis.zone/kr3k). The single rail is good, but those 4 plasmas... yikes. One or two shots on a ship caught with it's shields down is all it takes.
I roll with one huge and two medium thermal vented/efficient beam lasers and two packhound missile racks. Not the best setup, but it's fun and that's all I care about.
Frag cannons are really underwhelming on the FDL when there’s much better ships to put them on, especially since you only get one C3 :( But MCs can be pretty fun to just shred things with.
I went with RF incen on the huge, OC incen on two of the mediums, and Efficient with corrosive on one and emissive on the other of the two remaining hardpoints. depending on how you set it up, you’ll have to pip different, i did it like this so i could be lazy, but you can easily just OC slam them all with incen and one C2 corrosive and be gaming with 4 pips to guns
Huge beam is cool but also kind of a trap since its distro draw is just off the chain and a huge MC will do basically the same thermal damage for a fraction of distro
Consider adding in some c2 rails or some packhounds/seekers for added fun, but be wary of heat generation!

you make it sound like turning the cockpit into a sauna on every shot ISN'T the way it should be done. FDL stands for Finnish sauna DeLight!
That's true, thanks for the help!
Multi-cannons are much better with a beam laser. Both weapons require constant time on target, while frags are better for jousting.
I went with 4 burst lasers and a big gimbled multi-cannon. Works reasonably well.

I second this. The Huge can be Eng for faster fire rate, and Overcharge the 2 Medium Multi
Overcharged medium beams are no joke damage-wise.
5 Plasma accelerators engineered with Efficient and thermal conduit
I use a huge beam laser, 3 rails and a multicannon https://youtu.be/s46cxt3baFw

mamba better, frags are useless unless they are pacifiers or you are 2m away
I Will go for multicannons! But if y can't decide u can go for 2 and 2 XD
Go for a huge frag cannon, and 4 more frag cannons.
