Gunboats Vs Destroyers or crusiers

[Jura_II]

have you ever notice that the pirates sometimes have the good stuff(infernos, and Lawfuls aint alowed it, and is the only bomber/cap ship shield buster?) like the gunboats have more turrets or speed over lawfuls? since lawfuls are ment to be orginased compared to the pirates, which are dirty, second hand equitment(which they should have) and they mostly win against the lawfuls? which isnt right. and the gunboat beats the crusiers and battlecrusiers??? i mean how the hell does that happen!? its like a PT patrol boat vs a Crusier or destroyer or even a battlecrusier and they win? bit stupid since they are around 20mil and destroyers and crusiers are around 100mil and BCs are 240mil? bit unbalanced if you ask me.

Liberty GB is far better then most pirate GBs. More armor, turrets and a forward gun, also very good agility.
Capital ship Infernos, battlerazors and mortar are universal, everyone can use them.
All GBs have same speed.
And answer to your question is: Skill.
