Hacker boat is fun to pirate with, and does have quite a punch with a CAU4. It's extremely extremely extremely easy to pew those occasional lolnavy snubs that comes around. Even the lolboats that has CAU4 or less (since most of them have no clue of how to strife). Just fit it with all hacker gunboat turrets. Or if you're an amazing sniper, three pulse three razor. ( all 6 turrets fires forward , only 4 backwar, 4 upward+downward).
When the lollabc,dread,siege arrives, just thrust/cruise away. The only problem will probably be the siege anyway, since they can thrust pretty fast, and cd you. ( I've killed many pirate boats in my all Solaris siege.) but, there aren't many siege around these days, so you should be k.
The agility is amazing, as good or even better than the Hunter Bottlenose.
Just watch out when there's more than two bombers, or a swarm of fighters, I hated that.
