pirate typical ships

[joojoo1975]

Most pirates these days fly bombers or gunboats, because they're the only ships (or the only ships allowed to pirate with) with a decent chance of taking down a 100k shield transport ship without backup.

??? don't you think bombers or gunboats are a tad bit on the overkill side?

cerb. gunboat turret -- shield 1425 -- -- hull 725 -- refire rate 4.00 -- energy cons. 14000

now a lib rouge gb has 6 turrets. i'm assuming that you can fire all 6 in at least 1 direction. so lets break this down


6 guns firing = 84k of power(rouge gunboat Power Output: 500,000 Power Recharge Rate: 65,000)

max shield dmg for 1 volly from 6 shots = 8550 (that's over 8% shield for 1 volly)
max armor dmg for 1 volly from 6 shots = 4350 (that's around 3% on an advanced train) not accounting armor upgrades.

Come on guys that's a lil overkill don't ya think? I've been in transports most of my gaming time(with the adv civi shield from leeds) and the gunboats kill me in No time. I ain't even gonna coment on a bomber,

post your rouge gunboat turrets, as well as your rouge missle turrets, i seriously think this is overkill.

what do you think?

And thankyou for the replies folks
