I heard tell way back when that the Centurion had infiniboost. I can't think of a better ship for pirating. So, maybe something like this?

Armour.............6900
Cargo................6
Weapons...........1 small
Mass.................4900kg
Length..............10m
Thrust...............210N
Max Speed.........65m/s
Spin Torque.......7.0 Nm
Turbo Speed.....220 m/s
Turbo Energy....50/s

That wouldn't be as bad as the Convoy Guardian for DR'ing.

Edit: Er, that wouldn't be as *good* as the CG Hornet, in terms of thrust:mass, so wouldn't throw off the balance in that respect anyways.

That ship used to be the Vulture Mark One pre nerf. From the trend of that nerf, I would surmise the developers want fighters to NOT have infiniboost while the heavier ships could retain them.

I mean, Mynt, don't get me wrong. I'd love a racing ship. But what reality shows is it's not happening, not like this anyway :( (Maybe a no port ship, but then there's no use for pirating).
