In Bowex's early days, a lone Shire had a good 50-50 shot against a pirate bomber or gunboat, and a full Shire convoy was a real force to be reckoned with. I wouldn't mind seeing transports, particularly the heavily gunned battle transports, get a bit of a buff. Battleship guns, though, is a bit much.
Not sure what you're doing, but I still win 95% of my pirate encounters, even when outnumbered. In fact, with a economy where everybody can farm a cap in a day or two, the combat docking rules for transports and all that, it has never been easier to win/flee from a pirate. All it takes is a little practice. And battleship guns should not replace practice on other classes too lol.
