Lawful Pirating

[Dantrithor]

A battleship and a cruiser? overkill. But sometimes something more than a gunboat might be needed. I once found a convoy of FIVE transports fully armed coming from Alaska... i was heading there to check, and they jumped all 100m of me, me in my bomber. Fortunately, they just *tried* to flee and not fired on me. 5x7 T4 L7 transport turrets = Bad. And, even with all that, i just could catch 2-3 before they took a lane.

When you face a convoy, and its not a choice, but a MUST to stop it in any way (as you dont want to profit like a pirate, so you dont have the choice of "pirating" or not, its your duty)... a bomber/gb is not always enough, specially in certain timezones.

Though, if there is something else available, im all for using bombers against those smugglers. But there is not always something else available.
