pirate typical ships

[joojoo1975]

You're not going to comment on bombers? Ok, I will. I've chased two off, one (Praetorian) without any help, the other (Falcata) only helped by other transports. I've killed VHFs and LFs alone.

And the Border Worlds Transport, much as I love it, is not all that well-armed. Four front turrets, five rear. The Pirate Transport has I believe 7 forward-firing turrets.

I'm telling you, there's a damn good reason pirates use these heavier ships.

By the way, you neglected to consider the regeneration rate of a transport shield, the fact that they're firing back at 1800dps (I think) per turret usually not draining as much power as they regen, and the fact that transport turrets have a very high projectile speed - a bad thing for a fighter to deal with.

i didn't comment on bombers for the sole fact of thier torpedo options(come on if they can take out a gunboat, what chance does a transport have, mate i believe you went up against a rooky bomber pilot, but hey i could be wrong). now lets take a look at the regen idea.

adv civi transport shield

Adv. Transport Graviton Shield Freighter 7 Graviton recharger-900 shield capacity-100000

ok your doing in a gb roughly over 8% shield dmg per volly. i recharge 900 less than 1%(now i believe the recharge is comparable to a refire rate of 1.00 or 2.00, but for the sake of argument let's say 4.00) in that case for every 8+% u hit me i recharge less than 1% now how fast are a set of 4.00 refire rate guns?

sorry mate, i still say overkill.
