IMHO freighters should be used for piracy IRP. That's basically canon from vanilla.
If it means that the new Camara should be rebalanced to (also) make it fit that role I'm fine with that. I just want to remind the devs that there are multiple kinds of balance and not everything needs to be mirror-balanced.
A freighter that is hard(er) to hit, but also made of paper is as legit as an option as any other and can be made to work. Not everything needs to be the same size or have the same amount of turrets.
