Gunboats Vs Destroyers or crusiers

[Zygoeths]

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.

*Facepalm* ...... The Outcast develop the INFERNOS, and many other of the weapons they use. The corsairs also develop their own weapons, such as the Tizonas, and then both groups distribute their weapons to their allies, who then use them. No, they shouldn't be using second hand weapons/thrusters or what ever your getting at. For the gunboat part...... That's super unlikely to happen... I can see 2 gunboats doing it, but like someone above said, all depends on the pilot..
