Touketsu is a great small bomber, but it has a little problem - when it faces anything with quick shield regen, it can't really keep up regenerating the power, taking down shields and firing SNACs at the target. Therefore such transports take loooong time to take down, that could be shortened very easily with increasing its powerplant just a bit.
There is these guns called Energy Turrets, for use on transports or pretty much anything if you don't have a good aim in snac. And Touketsu has a core which is justified because of its agility. Nothing big to debate on.
So you couldn't take down a transport, and the Touketsu now needs to be rebalanced ? Try a different bomber. It's called a light bomber for a reason, right?
The core is smaller, indeed, but notice how agile that thing is.
It's a nice ship, no need to touch it.
It depends what transport you are shooting. If its a Cap 8 Bison/Shire/Uruz/Akegata, you probably won't kill it in time. That or it will kill you instead. If it's something like a 5ker ( has barely any guns ), you have a chance at killing it, but not with a bomber like Touketsu. If you want to pirate in a Bomber, use a Waran. Waran is sleek for a heavy bomber, has very good powercore, so you shouldn't have a problem with killing most transports.
But you have to remember, pirating in a bomber, makes you a easy target for mercenaries/bunters, and lawfuls. Annd of course if Transports have escorts ( which is rare ).

Use a VHF with a large powerplant and efficient guns. That's generally faster than anything short of a Waran, and might even beat the Waran in applied DPS.
