Question regarding Siruis's best pirating ship

[Demoses]

So, I have recently outfitted the classic Ptran with 6 tran 2s and 3 tran 1s and am EXTREMELY happy with it. One problem that i have come across though is how quickly the power falls out. I have been taking a look at various aspects of this ships and have come the conclusion that I need to do one of two things: change my gun setup, or get a lesser shield (I am currently sporting an Adv. Tran Graviton).

Any other helpful hints to a new cargo pirate would be great, and thanks in advanced.
