I can't find any recent talk on the topic, and I don't want to bother anyone personally, so I'm just going to throw out a question - if you're flying an Eagle, do you have the right destructive power to take down much at all?
Three small hardpoints is barely anything, and the Eagle, at least on paper, seems to lack the ability to effectively attack. Even with a super-pilot who could avoid all damage and land all shots, I'm fairly certain that the Eagle is doomed to failure against anything moderately tanky. It just can't do enough damage.
(I'm not sure if rails would be an exception, but I also don't know if the Eagle can handle triple-rails.)
Is this just an inherent flaw of the Eagle (which I understand is less than 100K credits and very much an early-game ship) or are there some nuances I'm missing out on here?
