Dodging transport turrets fired asynchronously can be quite tough (1400 m range, 1400m/s for level... three?) and as you say, forces one to fire at max range, in short bursts. I hope you are right in that two Wyrm can take the shield down no problems, but not really convinced.
Nuclear mines on lf are extremely cool and already on the shopping list, but you have to get at least semi-close and survive. And I know _my_ pirate train has never gone down to any fighter.
