If you want to pirate indie traders rock up in a Gull with a CD and full Charons.

Super heavy fighters are better for pirating straight up
As for cap fights
I ditch snac altogether
And get
Asuras
Nova torpedo
2x Scorcher

In groupfights you have no chance to fend off enemy fighters these days, now that the SNAC has been nerfed.
Bombers are still good without VHFs to pressure them, but when you enter an enemy snub into the equation they begin to suck really hard really fast.
Yeah the usual tactic was Screamers and a surprise Snack attack if they kept charging without a shield. Now without Snack being able to deliver that instant kill that technique is worthless.
Shame but it makes sense. There can't be one ship class which is good against everything.

I've been flying around in a Loki collecting taxes for the VolksrevolutionWorks just a well and you've got a standing chance against a snub if you're up for a change of scenary. Just sayin'.
Hmm not a bad shout with the right loadout. I'm actually considering using a SHF now for a particular character but a VHF or HF could work under some circumstances.

Yeah I'm thinking that now for one of my chars, a SHF instead of a bomber to give me some wiggle room.
Better start saving up for some ASURAS' then!

You'll see me in action if I decide to apply to re-join the SCRA

Personally I am still using the Roc, I like it's agility and since my targets often want to pick a fight, I welcome the maneuverability.
