In my so far limited experience, if your ship can't handle L10 weapons, go for:

2 x Particle
2 x Photon
2 x Tachyon

This way you guarentee whoever your fire at, at least 4 of your weps will do decent damage to their sheilds, and also a staggered rate of fire to avoid loosing all the damage on wiping out the last of thier shield. (Thanks to whoever it was who told me that last bit. You know who you are, even if I can't remember right now!)

Personally, I have 2 x Skyblast B, 2 x Nomad Blaster, and 2 x Nomad Cannons, with a Skyblast B turret.

On a Titan of course!

There is no perfect setup for any ship - it depends on what you want to do (SP, explore, trade, pirate, PvP, whatever) and how your predominant enemies are equipped; it also depends on what you are willing to spend for equipment in terms of time, money and reputation.

Some ships are pretty restricted because they have few hardpoints (Starflier) or because there is a scarcity of adequate weapons on the market (Banshee) but even for those there are different setups for different purposes. Of course, against NPC ships pretty much any high-class setup will do since there is no challenge for ships higher than class 7 or 8.

Titan liver, why do you post threads like this here in the discussion forum, where spoilers are not allowed and specific answers not possible? You have been haunting these forums for quite a while and you should have learned at least that much.

The freighters I fly are usually unarmed and that's the PERFECT set up for me, simply because I won't bother having gun battles while hauling 1000's of $$$ worth of cardamine in my hold. Would YOU consider that the perfect setup?

CW, your setup as described is not completely perfect - you failed to mention the two pea shooters (from the Starflier) that every trader keeps as insurance, so that you can quick-start your career by mining after you respawn with just a ship and $4 in the bank.

It might also be possible to crack a depot by ramming it repeatedly ... Have not tried this yet, but I guess it requires a lot of patience.
