i have a problem with the idea of a transport ever trying to engage, or scare off a pirate.
any fighter should be able to dance circles around a transport....and using the guns on the transport, is a sign of imminent death: transports simply can't, and shouldn't be able to fight.
the only sort of weapons that makes sense for a transport are weapons that help you run.
i only have a cd mounted....because, its rear firing, and can let me get away....and is great fun....cd the pirate :lol:
