They have no missles, that is a killer. But I intend to have other fighters to bridge that.
Its a defense ship, designed for drone works. They remind me so much of a drone frigate from Homeworld.
It carries 30 drones for protection, but its complete crap against captial ships. However, its an anti-fighter screen.
These things are just simple machines. And if you want larger guns, you can install them. They have more than enough room for modifications. I mean, hyperdrives aren't exactly small things to add on.
If Talon Karde bought a few and kept them, and liked them, they can't be all that bad.
I just like them because they fit with my plans quite nicely.

It kinda reminds me of the Enforcer One. All you need is a precision turbolaser cannon and you can have some fun.
But then again, I run only an operation of just shy over 300 people. No need for large craft. But weak, my ships are not.

Well maybe I can swipe one of the side double cannons from an old ISD-1. Those things could mess someone up.
eventually I'll get that far.
hmm...a venator has alot of interior space for fighter craft...but what if instead of using it for fighters, you turned it into extra power generators and cooling systems and put in a big a** Proton beam cannon?
Heh.
Heh.
Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah*gasp*ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!

Why not just get the Accusor? Fighters AND a proton beam.

Because I don't have that many fighters.
Just using a venator as a massive cannon ship apeals to me more.
with that kind of firepower, I could blast space stations into ash.

Why would you want to blast a space station to dust? What would be the use of that?

apply that firepower to a warship and imagine the results.

You're a pirate. I repeat, what use do you have for a proton beam?

Nelowulf You're a pirate. I repeat, what use do you have for a proton beam? Intimidation. That and I might have to go against Drake's naval force some day. The ability to destroy a capital ship may be insigniffigant next to the power of the force, but it comes close enough to ruin his day. Contrary to what you might think Nelo, my plans for the future are far more grandoise than just cruising the rim with my band of raiders.

So you're not going to be a pirate in the future, instead you'll become a rogue warlord? A guerrilla fighter?

Oh, I'll still be a pirate.
Just a legendary pirate.
Think Henry Morgan.
though guerrilla fighter is a tempting idea.

You still haven't proven how you'd need a proton cannon. It would be wiser to just install a heavy duty ion cannon instead.
There's no point in destroying your quarry. And why confront Drako's fleet? I mean, all you would end up doing is drawing more attention to yourself. If you just flee, scuffle a little, you aren't drawing attention.
But when you get proton beams, you become recognised. And with that, all your rivals, not just Drako, will be willing to cash in on your demise.

Ever consider aggressive salvaging?
I mean, your crew is far larger than most crime syndicates...
