So this weekend I decided to try something I've never done before, and that is to create an unlawful character. After looking at ship designs and where activity needs to be boosted in the server, I decided to go for the Red Hessians and made a character flying an Odin VHF.
I played around on the single player for a while but can't quite figure out a good load-out. The powerplant either seems small or I'm doing something wrong. I'm also a bit upset that I can't have a CD and some sort of missile that will actually follow its target and 6 guns (all one level below the max level equippable) drain energy way too fast.
So, advice? I've actually never pirated anyone so that'll be a new experience if that happens but I'd also be able to take out some larger ships as well.
Level 7 guns in general are lower damage per minute, higher energy efficiency.
Level 8 guns in general are higher damage per minute, low energy efficiency.
The above setup works.
Hessian standard level 7 Natterturm Zwei work fine as well.
