Ships Pirate build

With the upcoming changes, I've decided to add the Asp S to my mini-fleet, and think it would probably work as a pirate boat (PvE)

Bad Company

I've not really tried much piracy, so any suggestions are welcome.

as with a AspE, where you don't gin much by going from a class 5 to a class 6 shield, that is even more severe with an AspS: you gain ~1% shield from class 4 to class 5 shield. not worth it. i'd definetly flip that araound.

i personally always fit chaff for pve piracy, as many npc traders have turrets.

i also would probably bring missiles to strip hardpoints and drives. pulses or burst are better to shoot out powerplants than beams... probably i'd go 2 medium pulse, 2 small seeker racks, and skip the cannons fully, even if i love them :) ... or 1 medium fixed beam, 1 medium gimbal pulse, 2 small seekers...

Some changes. Don't bother with the Size 5 shield. It only offers an extra 3-4mj of shields.

Put a Size 5 cargo rack in, and use the money saved from downsizing the shields to buy military bulkheads. Trust me... As a pirate, you NEED armour.

Weapons. Swap the lasers and cannons around. You'll get far superior power management this way. Now turn those small beams into small bursts. Trust me, these are the best piracy lasers. Make one medium cannon fixed. The cannon is easy to use fixed. Replace the second cannon with a gimballed multi. You'll be using the multi to take out drives on the twisty-turn targets. It's also great for shooting out the armour hatches.

Consider replacing the shield booster with chaff. In my opinion chaff is more valuable.

Finally, you need A-rated life support. The canopy is very fragility. A-rating the life support gives you the best part of half an hour to reach safety if you get a breach.

Add me in-game if you want. I don't pirate on PC because there's too many Loggers for me, but I'm quite involved with the profession on Xbox. You can find both my game It's in my sig'. I'm happy to talk shop with you about piracy. Good luck! I think the Asp Scout will be a fine pirate ship!

Agreed you don't get much more MJ with a class 5 shield in the Asp S but because it's one class higher you do get faster regen if you're using bi-weaves 1.8 MJ/s to 2.2 MJ/s about 22%, rapid fire G5 medium pulses would be very effective at stripping shields and have fairly low weapon cap drain.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm not sure how the Class 5 shield got in there, I guess I forgot to remove it after I'd been playing around with the build.

I was going for cannon to take out the drives, but I'll try seekers and see how that works.

Can't give rep at the minute, as I'm back to being a forum n00b. [noob]

So have virtual rep instead ;)
