How's this for a starter ship?

[drewm2]

Well here it is: my next experiment-

How about a Progeny, lots of armor, high lvl (4-5)reactor and shields, 2 ion beams, crippler gun, photon swarm, hail and gauss ammunition (I think these last 2 are the two I was looking at- one was long range, the other does phase damage.) Depending on how many the lt/med missile mounts will hold, either DF, HS, IR, or FF. Maybe switch out the ion beams with razor guns later, but at 97K I can only afford so many autotrackers, I think the beams do better without than the guns do, and the other 4 weapons need it more.

Does anyone have advice about any of this equipment? Tried any similar setups with good or bad results? Or suggestions for a similar rig that may work better? Just looking for any heads up I can get before I spend the money. Once I make this purchase, I'm through with cargo for awhile, I'm off to explore the universe, making a living off clean sweeps and defend missions, maybe cash in some bounty here and there! I love the massive battles against 15 or so enemy ships!

Thanks in advance for the advice-

That is quite a good starter ship I guess.
