just out of sheer curiosity, what if you outfitted a type 9 heavy, took it to a conflict zone and joined in?
Combat type 9 heavy

I'd put the over/under on your survival time at about 30 seconds, and take the under. Taking a ship that can be outmaneuvered by a Walmart Supercenter into a CZ ... let's just say you're gonna have a real bad time.
A combat version of the T9 would be awesome.
With more and bigger guns, better speed and jump range. [yesnod]

Is it fully Engineered?
If it is, you'll be fine. Obviously you won't last as long as if you were in a standard combat ship, but engineered weapons and shields are a thing.
I was considering investing some time into a healing barge version. Regen sequence or whatever it is, with a bunch of little guns, all healing one guy in a vulture. He takes all the aggro, I keep him alive. Haven't even begun to test it yet.
You can meet NPC T9s in CZs. Obviously, they don't last long - in fact, it is easier to kill than a Viper.
As for player T9... The max (unmodded) shield is about 832 MJ (8A prismatic + 4 0A boosters). But you have only Class 6 PP, which seriously limits your outfitting options. You can overcharge it to 30+ MW, but it would make your ship hot as hell.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE EXPLOSIONS AND BRIDGE FIRES

Also, you're forgetting that PP only has to power class 1 and 2 weapons.

Lol idk what it is but there's something really satisfying about blowing up T9s. Maybe it's because I'm able to land every PA shot without trying?
A T9 battle-barge would be interesting. Basically a shield and hull tank, with a boatload of C3 and C2 hardpoints. It's designed to just slowly move in one direction and unload lots of firepower (think a mini Cap ship)...
Z..
The Battle Cow if Outfitted Properly aint that Bad to be Honest.
Sure its not a Match for a Combat Ship.
But it can actually hold its Water.
The Small Weapon Slots allow for mostly Projectile Weapons. So you can Permanently run 4 Pip Shields.
And Thanks to the low Power Cost you can Beef Up your Shields with Boosters alot.
I would still advice to use a Combat Ship tough.
T9 is simply not meant for Combat.
And if anything Big takes a liking to you. Your in trouble to get out.

A ~260M cred hull tank Type 9...will take a beating from a ~26M cred Vulture even if the Vulture pilot was half blind and one-handed... Other than curiosity, I can't see much use in such a build.
No, no, no.
Load her up with thermal cascade packhounds and seekers. Go to a CG in open. Wait to be interdicted. SURPRISE!!!
