stylish pilots...

Hi, I'm just wondering how all you guys like to fly. in a fighter, mainly, that is.
what weapons systems tactics to you like to use (eg 6 missile launchers and a stunpulse turret, or 7 weapons with a fire rate of 8) why do you like them? what are your favorite weapons? given your choice of a fighter, all guns and all ammo and equipment, what would be your loadout?
In battle, how do you fly? who do you target first? what tactics do you use (IF ANY) to prevent being shot to pieces?
in a freighter what tactics do you use when engaged? what commodities do you like trading? how do you deal with 'taxers'
all of this is purely personal interest. I would just like to see how people fly and see if any good tactics/ideas turn up
I DO NOT wish to
a) take over the world
b) create a killer mod that allows me to destroy anyone on sight
c) remain sane

good flying, happy dying

never underestimate the power of one.
Hey, I thought I killed you yesterday. meh, only a couple more missiles wasted and I'll make sure...

I think, if there is anyone who would want to reply to this post without degrading it to a What-Is-The-Best-Ship discussion, it still would be in the wrong forum as you would have to back up your loadout with weaponstats and that would be a spoiler.
And even then it still would be one of the many as such posts, so it would become quite repetitive and will probably eventually degrade into a best ship discussion and will be locked by one of the Modderators.

This thread's not for arguing over which ones are better. Just post how you fly.

Fave weapon : Any shield killer appropriate for the ship you are flying (Hostile Universe mod with npc shield regen demands it)
Flying Style : Duck & weave and shoot the bad guys up the clacker (i fly light fighters in the omicron sectors

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.
Violence isn't my only option. Its just what I do best.

i like 4 guns on a drake...

1 borroco (class 5)
1 sunfury 1 (class 5)
1 pyros type 3 (class 6)
1 Angelito Mk 2 (class 6)

but mostly i have 2 pyros type 2 (class 5) and 2 pyros type 3 (class 6) when i do 240k missions with my drake, for pvp u need shield busters on it (maybe for class 10 shields 2 shield busters)...

i'm training myself to use also mines... screamers right now, but later ripper mines...

my tactic is to use the agility

I don't have a fav ship or loadout yet, but I use a modified corkscrew maneuver whenever my shileds go down. Its so difficult to hit when I'm not in a vhf that I need very few bats.

And God said,

And there was light.
