High slots:
3 Heavy Beams or 3 heavy modulated beams
1 medium modulated or 1 medium beam
All multi crystals.
Launchers:
1 A-3 Assault and 1 m-12
or
2 m-12
defenders go in assault launcher heavies in m-12
or use two m-12's and go both heavies or one defender one heavy.
Medium Slots:
1 large clarity ward 1 named mwd 2 ecm or jammers
or
2 medium clarity wards 1 named mwd 1 tactical shield resist module heat dissipation or annointed em ward or any you choose.
These are debateable but I prefer two jammers for target jamming cruisers (Players) 1 large booster since the medium isn't enough ;) and a named mwd which is a must.
Low slots:
1 stamped heatsink 3 power diags
or
4 stampeds whatever you want really
Closing I use 1 stamped and 3 power diags as they give me a shield and cap recharge bonus a powercore bonus and a shield hp bonus.
With skills I have 1593.2 shield on my MOA and I have near 1400 cap with a cap recharge of 154 seconds or might be 194 with 2 stamps and 2 diags. I have a smidge over 1k armor and around 1200 structure.
My setup at this time is 3 heavy modulated beams 1 medium modulated used this in beta as well on my maller which I miss my 6 turrets =\.
The mediums you have shield of ungodly proportions once you get mid level skills and it gets even higher ;). I can jam you recharge my shields and fire on you without running out of cap and will run out if I use the mwd eventually.
You want to kill mallers? You want to kill thoraxs? You want to kill ruptures and stabbers?
This ship will do that all you need is to maximize cap and shield and throw some jammers on :).
Mallers don't stand a chance against a competant person in an moa after the amarr ship changes pretty sad. If CCP changes the maller to 6 turrets again then worry and especially if they bump the mediums to 3.
MOA best cruiser for fighting straight up at this time IMO the ship is just way flexible for doing whatever you need it to.
I tried hybrids on the moa with bonuses and everything and didn't like them the lasers worked better at range for me and projectiles well if you use projectiles on the MOA you will be a hard person to beat with good cap skills and shield boosters ;).
I am personally stockpiling projectile weapons for PVP actions they are the best guns in game atm coupled with the fact you have the highest shield of any cruiser by a large margin you will win most encounters as long as your dps is roughly the same as your opponent.
Grab the shield management skill if you haven't and train it to level 3 at least and add some power diags and laugh at people :).

Clarity Wards are named shield boosters they come in all sizes. I like using 2 mediums would be better as you can choose 1 or 2 pending on power needs but the large is a must if you are going to fight or expect to fight.
Projectiles on a an MOA makes it the deadliest cruiser in a 1vs1 fight bar none. The medium slots is what makes this ship godly the shield take sit over the top ;). Wait till you start seeing tech level 3 items similar to power diags and shield extenders the shields on the MOA are going to be outrageous.

Red smartbombs are sketchy to use soemtimes and you can miss your chance if you get anykind of lag spike. I will also point out 1vs1 a jammed maller is a dead maller no matter how many turrets or smartombs you have on it. Try using a maller with a smartbomb while being jammed and even staying within range of the moa and it will lose :). The only choice for the maller pilot is to run.

Two loot pwr cores that give 26% boost to pwr grid each.
Then 4 Anode Ion Partical Cannons and some loot mag feilds. You will get about 5X dmg. Then put two H-50 heavy launchers. NOT LITTLE M-12 or A-3s. The moa makes up for its 4 turrets with 2 launchers. Make good use of them. Train up your ML skill to lvl 5 and put crusie missiles in the H-50.
OR
You can put some anodes in your turrets, then 2 h-50s in the other slots. Then you load torps into the h-50s. Now so you can actually hit soemone with them you put to Web Stasis thingys in your med slots, an MWD, and a Warp Scrambler.
Now your stratagy will be to web and scramble your target. Now they will not be able to move faster then like 28m/s and 132m/s with a MWD. Make a short MWD jump so you are like 4 KM from them and fire the Torps. They will not miss, since your target is now still and has no idea what is going on. Even the most powrful crusier will be dead in seconds.
