' Wrote:For piracy, a transport has one great advantage - if the trader refuses to drop cargo or pay credits instead, you can open his hold with your cannons and haul the juicy loot off yourself.
This is why the Congress does a bit of a tag-team with a P-Trans and Salvage Frigate when comes time to play up the 'middleman' role.
a transport + bomber escort can seriusly rape gunboats... but then again so can gunship + transport... Bombers thou are a better choice i reckon.

i fly a gunship and have flown one for a long time. i don't really pirate with him but i can take out one or two fighters before i start taking a beating.
To counter bombers in a GS, missiles have become more important in this mod. It just doesn't pay to go all guns anymore. I have to agree that the best pirate combo is a bomber and GB/GS. For single I would still have to say that a GS/GB is ideal. Rouge GB is still an epic pirate vessel, hacker GS not so much.
