Tridente setup and defending faction NPC's

[Trieste]

Hi everyone,

So as you can see, I'm pretty new around here and this is only my second post besides the welcome thread introduction. I just saved up and bought myself a snazzy new Tridente gunship, which I have some questions about.

First, as an Outcast (or any faction really), is defending your faction's NPC's a valid reason to engage another player? For example, I ran across a guy blowing up Outcast Large Space Stations in Tau-23. Could I warn him / blow him up for this?

Also, another question about weapons setup. I'm currently planning on this:
6x Outcast GB Turret
1x Missile Turret
1x Razor

Does this seem reasonable for anti-GB/Bomber duty and piracy?

Thanks.
