Piracy in a Fighter - Lythrilux - 12-22-2014
Which fighters are good for piracy? Yes, I know that transports and bombers are generally better at the job blah blah blah but imagine we're in a world where you can only fly fighters - which one would be the best for piracy?

A SHF with many hullbusters.

CSV, of course, if you want cargo. If you just want to pirate, well, can't say much, because fighter piracy is useless now, as you'll be shot down by non-AU light transports.
Even freighters better fits role for piracy here.
But I vote for either Sabre or Corsair VHF.

The ones with good powercores (Titan, Raven's Talon, Falchion etc) and efficient guns (8.33s, 6.67s, PHOENIX, DULZIAN).
Of course, you'll also need to hit more and make your powercore work non-stop for max efficiency. If the filthy trader shoots back, boxing and rolling are your friends.

The correct answer is always 'Sabre'.
Put some screamers on it, ditch one or both debs for added hull damage. Class 7 guns for efficiency.

SHF with 2.0 (Heimdalls) - Werewolf is the best option due to emp gun it can mount.
VHF with 4 2.0s and debs - less dps, but still valid choice. Sabre will work.

Arrow. At least you'll be able to evade the inevitable lawmen, and some people might pay you to stop annoying them. You're only really gonna get anything from those that want to interact with you, anyways...

You, guys, are definitely bad in math.
Maximal average damage (per second) that fighter can do in the long run = (power recharge per second)*(damage per shot)/(energy drain per shot).
That works if the guns suck more energy than the ship can produce, of course. Which means at least 4 hullbusters for Titan or Raven's Talon.
Now go figure which loadouts allow to kill traders faster.
