Without having done PVP combat, I still know what the OP is on to. Forget it. If you want revenge on those "stupid" pirates, build a ship specifically for that. I used to mine in a heavily tanked/armed Conda, and I did find it satisfying to go straight in their face when interdicted, but when you just want to bring your opals to an importer, go for that and concentrate on your mission. You loose a lot maneuverability in a tank, and that makes mining far less enjoyable.
Now I use a much smaller shield, and simply try to avoid interdictions. If interdicted, I high wake. Then, once I have sold my cargo safely, I can go to smack pirates in a Conda with so much hull and shield that it can hardly move, but beams and frags makes that less of an issue. Come close enough and I can kill almost anything without releasing the trigger finger (the beams) before the pop. Honestly I do that less and less. It has become less important. Just mentally flipping the bird, while high waking is often enough.
