PVP hauler

Going to do it. Even though I know it may very well be the worst combat ship in the game.... engineering everything to the max is easy, the question is... what weapon. There can only be one! Load out/build ideas welcome.

General purpose? Enforcer Cannon.

Want a real chance of a kill? (Or, as real as you'll ever get.) Long range super penetrator rail with thermal load reduction secondary. Find a hull tanker who doesn't believe in MRP's. You might get lucky...

Torpedo. Obviously. And the ship itself. RAMMING SPEED!

I have a PvP hauler. With 5DD advanced thrusters it boosts to 600. I have reactive armor and HRPs in every slot all G5 heavy duty modded for around 1300 hull integrity. For the single weapon I use a railgun, pulse laser with phasing or an enforcer cannon.
Due to its limited firepower I pretty much never kill anything--it's mostly just a gag ship for laughs. I did however best a python a couple months ago.

Really? The cannon rounds are so slow, I can't imagine bothering with long range. I've actually liked the short-range mod. Get right in someone's face and blast em.

The projectile speed scales with the range. So at g5 it's basically double range, double speed. Hence a lot of us use the mod for the speed, not the range, if you see what I mean...

Think I'll try the double shot frag... have them on my Python and for the "t-Rex arms" of my corvette (the almost useless 2 small hard points).... they do lots of damage... when they hit!

@truesilver that's why I've started to mod with long range, speed of my PAs is more than double! It's pretty awesome ...

wow I did not know that. Where did you learn that?

Either experience or the forums.

I've tried long ranging PA's, but I'm actually more accurate with the slower moving ones. Not to mention there's a certain insult-to-injury getting hit by a slow-moving projectile.

I've seen a few combat haulers...often quite tough to destroy, but they don't have much in the way of offensive capabilities.

I second the railgun suggestion...though you still shouldn't expect to actually shoot anyone down, unless you get extremely lucky.

Fully equipped Hauler is about 30 tons. You can't even ram SLFs to death with it.

And one torpedo will only take out unmodfied, shieldless, small vessels...if you can land the hit.

That's the joke.
