Thanks for the detailed load-out, gives me an idea of some the the things to aim for.
However, I am certain that with engineering SLF's will be less of a problem because they can't have any modifications apart from the stock versions. So while engineering will make my ship better (G5 DD, shields, G5 lasers) the SLF's will stay the same.
It will be some time before I get that level of engineering and I still want to be able to destroy SLF's until I get there, not run from every Anaconda/FGS encounter.
Hopefully with the fixed turret bug, extra tips, and better planning (route on galaxy map) my Python won't be destroyed by a single SLF anymore.
