Trading Faction

[mjolnir]

Puck does make a strong point about Samura, I have to agree. And... light fighters are terrible escorts, because in escorting dodging makes no difference, as escorts arent being shot at. The transport gets shot at. Escorts need to take the pirates off transport, therefore they need firepower (gunboats and larger ships cant hit though).

You are so wrong here....

LFs are best escorts.. they can keep shooting the pirate all the time (if he's in VHF or Bomber)... because they are so agile that they can stay right on him no matter what he does... see the point?

If I meet a GB escort.. I simply ignore him... fire all my guns at the same time in short bursts.. while I dodge the fire from the GB... (best to have the transport between me and the GB all the time... and that is quite easy)...

I successfully pirated traders with Gunboat cover alone in a Sabre.... then I saw a pilot who's at same level as me beiing driven off by a single LF.
