Nope. Anyway, I've gone over to a Zidara now.

The above post can be concidered "Parlez vous sans mon derreire" As the french probably wouldn't say.
Ooh.. there's a questionable switch - unless you have a plugin so that you can sell the fighter bay and phased beams the Zidara is a very difficult ship to enjoy flying, and I have tried to many times. The speed is nice, but only 2 turrets is just mean - maybe not so bad in 1.00 - and you can't even change them from phase turrets because if you sell 1 you can't have 2 again as well as the phased beams!
I reckon a better bet all around is the Lazira - it performs about as well, with not a lot less shielding, and it actually has space to fit shield enhancers, not to mention dospect armour as well - it has no pesky fighters and won't get you shot at in Igadzra / Azdgari space :).
Oh, the Zidara only has 2 turret slots? that IS unpleasant. Since 1.0.2 came out, I took a while to modify all the ships on my version, giving EVERY turret capable ship one more turret by default and 2 more turret slots. It makes the game a lot more fun I find.

So I take it you're an offensive player?

Zidara is designed to be a pack fighter, hence you should really have a Zidara and six Zidara escorts. However, the Lazira is a much better all around ship.

Zidara, I find, are excellent escorts, and better still when you've got three or more. While I personally hate the phased beamer, you can't deny it's power, or the added punch of the Zigblahthing's Fighters.
I really love my AW, but the nonsellable fighter bay really limits your space. I find myself selling a turret, afterburner and tank in exchange for needle missiles.
