Very pleased with it though it suffered in inauspicious inaugural flight as I screwed up in a Hazardous RES and attacked a wing consisting of an Anaconda and two Fed Assault Ships, getting myself all kinds a blowed up. Alas, this is why I always have at least enough cash for two buybacks. Still, this unfortunate episode aside, I am most pleased with her.
Check her out and tell me what you think:

Man.... sorry to hear that you got blown to bits. Those wings in the RES can be deadly. I'd be happy to wing up with you sometime, if you're interested.
I took a look at your Vulture. Nice loadout! A couple of things that I'd change (if it were my ship).....
Go to D life support.... you never know when an extra couple of minutes might save your life
Drop the point defense. The NPC's usually seem to fire missiles while you have shields, and missiles do very little damage to shields.
I'd add a 2nd chaff laucher in it's place, and keep it powered down. If you use a lot of chaff in the RES, you've got a second load on hand this way.
Without the point defence, and with the 2nd chaff turned off, now you have a bit more power. Trade in that B shield booster for an A.
Here's what my changes look like:
