A Thrusters certainly deal with it - finding powerplants to support a well equipped Eagle is the issue right now in this Beta. Regardless - the downer, I think, is that all hardpoints are "1's", which means it takes forever to wear down even a Cobra.
I decided to take on an Anaconda last night, for th eheck of it, with a single burst laser and twin cannons - I stuck to his tail for a good 10 minutes, literally on his butt, meaning he couldn't shoot me, I got him down to 90%, messed up a tad, ended up not right on his but, and then he nailed me with *something*, shields gone, hull 80% - not so bad - canopy smashed, 7 minutes of air - this could be a problem. Bailed out and headed to Freeport to get repairs - easily made it, but man, that was a heck of a lot of concentration , would have probably been ok had my canopy not smashed, but it is a heck of an effort to bring down an Anaconda in an Eagle (is it should be, to be fair). Would be nice if the top mount was a medium, not a small, but anyway, it was a fun little battle...
