Need input from good fighter/bomber pilots

[Tenacity]

I realize that jinx, and the background I have for the zoner gunboat my character will be using is as a stealth ship, not a heavy combat ship. It fits with that, especially since it has less firepower than other gunboats - it puts more focus on stealth and avoidance than open combat.

But the fact of the matter is... no matter what faction you belong to, you're going to have to fight eventually. I'm only trying to maximize my ability in the ship when it comes to that.

This post was made to help me decide which direction to take it's weaponry, nothing more. I've heard that missile turrets were awesome/overpowered/whatever, and I wanted some pilots more experienced in going up against them or using them to respond so I could get an idea of how effective the weapons actually are. The issue is deciding what kind of armament to use, not what's overpowered or what people think should be changed balance-wise.

I was either going to go full heavy armament (4x battle razors or 2x razors / 2x infernos), or anti-fighter armament (4x missile turrets or 4x order/solaris turrets). I needed some opinions to decide on which route to go.

As it stands, chances are i'll be going with the missile turrets and act as an anti-fighter/bomber escort for the order's larger ships, which are often left vulnerable or defenseless against those opponents. Aside from black squadron members, nearly every order pilot I see in minor/100/delta is using gunboats, cruisers, or dreadnaughts. I think they have the anti-capship thing covered, but they'd get owned constantly by bombers if BS's fighters werent around for backup. If I make my zoner gunboat effective against the immediate threat, I'll be more effective and valuable in group pvp situations.

EDIT:

And to be honest i'm not all that fond of the order gunboat being designed. Not only is it exceedingly large and bulky looking, but the color scheme and shape dont fit a secretive organizaiton like the order. It isnt sleek, it doesnt look stealthy at all, and no amount of firepower will make up for those facts.

That's one reason I like the zoner gunboat design so much - it LOOKS like a stealth-capable ship, it's sleek and small, and it doesnt have unnecessary adornments. Simple and effective is how the order's ships should be designed.
