I've got a single class 2 stunpulse on my train, it's there incase I run across any wrecks to loot.
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
If a train or transport HAS to fight, it's as good as dead already.
Kanes right, I've also said before that just because you can do something it doesn't mean that you should.
I've tried mounting gunboat turrets on a train before, it could only support 1 gunboat turret without running out of energy after about 3 or 4 salvoes.
So now if a PC pirate asks for money they'll get it, if he opens fire first then I'll run, but I won't be cruising because then they've got no chance to stop me.
If you want a transport ship that can beat off most attackers go get a liner, but remember that they too are a type of transport so shouldn't have any BS weapons on them.
If you practice enough the class 9 transport turrets are perfectly good enough to get rid of NPCs.
Also if I go ahunting with my phantom or outcast characters and your not interested in RPing, say so.
Though if it happens more then twice your obivously not here to RP so I'd suggest you go find another server.
