My biggest issue with the Asp? I bought a paint job from the Elite Store, and for the life of me I can't find a single station with a Livery that will do anything more than put the silly skulls on my ship!!!!
But I took the skulls anyway.

Was pretty great with everything on both ships maxed out (A2, A3, A4), but this Asp will do everything the Cobra plus the Type 6 can do, only more of everything.
I agree with Xebeth. Beams are the way to go. I don't even use kinetic weapons. I had Beams all the way around (2 Med, 2 Sm) and could kill anything I came up against very, very quickly. Deadly ranked dudes, well they take a little more time but they go down eventually, too. As long as you have an A4 powerplant, PLUS arrange your FSD and Cargo Hatch to shut down while your guns are deployed (set them to priority 2), you won't have to worry about overheating. Well, you will overload them, but they WILL NOT shut down on you. They'll overload only because you will be mashing on the trigger and never letting up! They kinda turn into super powerful pulse lasers at that point. lol Just remember to set full bars on weapons (I leave 1 dot each on engines and power).
The Elite Pirate Lord who I finally got balls enough to go up against is the only guy so far who has given me issue. I had used half of my shield banks and only had him down to 75% hull and 75% powerplant. Then my dang computer crashed before the outcome of the battle. I've been messing with overclocking again, trying to squeeze every last drop of horsepower out of this old AMD D830 just for Elite, and I think I finally got it stable. ANYWAYS, I think I might have taken him down eventually. Maybe not, but the medium beams really do a number on well, *everything*.
NOTE: Target the powerplant subsystem on bigger ships like Pythons and Anacondas! You destroy that, the ship blows no matter what the hull damage is!!! Don't worry about subsystems on anything smaller; you'll destroy the hull before you destroy the subsystem.
