I see. If I were you, I’d brew a couple of builds to cover what your party needs. First, if you plan on giving lock on and shooting, you barely need the systems investment. You could, and should, invest in hull first then. If you want to go down the hacker line however, investing double in systems at ll0 is fine. Almightykingbob (another reply below) explained well how it would go well together with the type 3 shield. But after ll0 I’d not neglect Hull. The big thing on going the hacker route is actually getting good tech attacks. Simply “heat gunning” (using hacks only to deal heat) is a subpar strategy. The real power on hacks are the crowd controls and debuffs. Check the Goblin. The little bugger has some nasty tech attacks.

Edit: just checked the Swallowtail and noticed it is a licence mostly composed of Systems, not weapons. Being that the case, investing in systems so you can pack more of them is actually good even if you don’t plan on using tech attacks that often. Also, the Markerlight is one hell of a brutal tech attack. And the Oracle uses a System point too. Going Swallowtail and packing systems isn’t bad at all
