Kinda guessing most ppl would say hulls, weapons and mining ?

You should start adding some tac officers imo and try to get the proteans/cypher bot/quad frames and dom mk3.Those BT mods are a great asset to any ship.

i dont think cypher bot and quad frames are great asset..about the tac officers im absolutely agree with u, i stand corrected

Due to recent-ish developments with the whole "decks are bad" craze, I'm not sure where the right point to stop decks is. As such, the advice to add tactical officers isn't a bad idea. Equally, you may wish to get some more decks to greatly improve your defense.

Otherwise, there are some ship modules which are questionable on your ship. The lack of Ciphers shows you're not a hacker, which draws all of these modules into question:

In particular thr X-Manifold Detector. You could easily drop your scan to 50 (buff your scan if you wish to see Dark Megacomplexes/Sha'din Hypergrids when NPCing. You can replace these with defensive modules. Shields even, if you wish.

I think you need more defense....1000....I am rank 90 and got 1000 defense....no offence.

Quads are downright piece of dog crap, waste of blues but then again there's nothing great to buy with blue badges anyway~

Not with the senary upgrades, especially for scan runs.
