Thanks for the answers. I didn't expect to fight the pirates, I do pay them or die...depends on how realistic they are. But yesterday, a pirate transport was engaging me, ok, had 9 turrets but, I died anyway but at least I had a chance. I saw that with my current weapons my energy was dry out fast and at a certain point I couldn't use the weapons anymore.
Take no advise from people who are mostly pirates and trade not at all or only when they fail to raise funds otherwise.
Their experience with transports usually comes down to people who are so unskilled to get into a pirate's range. I don't believe you are looking to equip your ship the same as these transport-captains or use the same tactics.
There is a good loadout even with your titan, but you will have to practise and juggle with several weapon-groups to be able to drive pirates away. Engaging fighters for killing them will not be possible in your transport, just the same as it is not possible in a gunboat because of the difference in thrust-speed.
If you are not willing to do battle-training in your transport then it in fact really doesn't matter whatever you equip it with. You can still trade unharmed if you know how.
Several people now have posted trading guides, go and search for them, there's valuable wisdom in them for a Titanic-captain.
