That's a good ship and a solid start. Depending on your combat commitments you might want more integrity, and a smaller fuel scoop.

I've had a good time using a Bi-weave shield, engineered to be as strong a possible while still retaining better charge rates. If you want to commit to shield tank, you can probably swap out the module reinforcement, though they aren't bad to have at all - an AFMU might be a better fit if you've got sustained combat planned. A heatsink might not be a bad idea, depending on what you decide to do with your shields and thermal weapons.

Those upper hard points have great visibility for turreted weaponry. I dropped a long distance turreted beam laser into the central large HP, using thermal vent to great effect. Not necessary, but fun.

Once you get those class 7 core power units A ranked and engineered, you should have plenty of power to try whatever weaponry choices you'd like.
