For LF's, 4.00 or higher refire is good- since you need to zip around a lot, it helps to have your guns ready again almost immediately in case you miss.
For HF's, 3.03 or greater
For VHF's, 2.00 or greater- since you don't wobble around as much, you can set up shots a lot easier.
For freighters, 3.03 or greater
When choosing weapons, choose the one with the best blend of refire, projectile speed, and firepower, and base all your other weapon choices off your biggest gun(i.e. your biggest gun has 700 projectile speed, everything else should have 700 projectile speed).
Missiles should be chosen depending on who/what you're fighting- if you're going into an area with a lot of agile targets(i.e. Liberty or Kusari), a faster missile with a better turn rate is best. If you're only going to be fighting VHF's(Omicrons Gamma and Alpha), you should choose the missile with the most firepower. If Nomad fighting is your intent, make sure all your missiles are of the ARMOR damaging type, not EMP.
Since all mines are pretty much equal in tracking, choose one of the higher-level mine launchers.
No reason not to mount the best countermeasures...they're only $40 a pop, IIRC.
Same with thruster...always use heavy or advanced.
Shields- don't bother working out the strengths and weaknesses- more often than not, the differences in shield points more than make up for any particular weakness in the shield type. Always mount the biggest shield available for your class.

I will aid them when I can...if they give me a percentage of the salvage from whatever they frag along the way. But god help them if someone puts a bounty on THEIR heads, for I don't care who I hunt for, as long as their live capture(or untimely death) can get me enough credits to buy a decent sized mug of my favorite drink."- A Freelance Bounty Hunter.
