Uh...the exact same answer.

' Wrote:Yes, you can use whatever ship you want without getting banned.

But:
- Expect a heavy powercore nerf for something silly like the IMG gunboat, with a moderate powercore nerf for other things. You're probably better off using something you're supposed to.
- Expect the official faction of the tech to bounty and attack you. Note that indies can't do this, only official factions--if an indie does it, SNAKSHUN.

Just a note: "silly" is only proportionate to the Role Play (or lack of) behind the ship.

Honestly a pirate shouldn't need anything other than a KuxEx (heavy gunboat) or a rogue gunship.
I would especially reccommend the rogue gunship, since most of it's turrets fire forward.

"most"? I haven't flown one since the update, but in .85 all 6 fired forward. Did that change?

As for the Rheinland GB with a pirate ID I would expect a very heavy energy nerf and not just a little one.

I was just guessing. I don't really pay attention when I'm shooting a little UAUIII hege.:)

Rog gs is 3 backward /6 forward and KU ex is one of the best turret steering boats available , with the zooming out and steering the size does not metter much, so the heavy GBs with good backward arcs, a lot of hull,core and guns are going to rule in 4.86, since Razor pulse GBs are useless now( they were good on smaller GBs) So heavy ships with thrusters and good backfire arcs=brutal.
Use Ku EX- pack a pulse on the front fire only slot because you can strip easier transport shields and go full basics to other slots- you got turrets to protect you from behind from snubs and bombers if you are attacked and have enough energy efficient punch forward to tear up transports.

ships that won't be used are the ones with small core, since they can't handle the nerf, but not many of those were very popular anyway

KusEx has big enough core to use a reasonable mix of weapons, not all of them but 3-4 if you are smart with placement

HF gunboat is:

1.) 35% faster than all gunboats with 600,000 power core
2.) has loads of hull
3.) has 600,000 power core
4.) 7 turrets (almost sure they all fire forward)
5.) 400 nanos & bats


...................................


I understand the high stats. But why the speed......
