For bigger transports (Type 7 or Type 9), Shield tanking with a Large ship (Anaconda/Cutter/Corvette) is viable depending on their weaponry and/or your Shield resistences. Drive disabling while harder than shield tanking, is easier than bump stopping other medium ships due to the large chassis size and lower overall speeds. | For bigger transports (Type 7 or Type 9), Shield tanking with a Large ship (Anaconda/Cutter/Corvette) is viable depending on their weaponry and/or your Shield resistences.

First, you will need weaponry that can destroy shields fast such as beam weapons (or equivalent) and packhounds with experimental effect Penetrator payload or gimballed pulse/burst lasers/multicannons (anything that can penetrate the hull and damage the module). As soon as the interdiction is over, immediatly begin firing on the target vessel. While doing so, Select the FSD from contact panel. When the shields are down, use the Packhounds/Burst/Pulse Lasers to target and neutralize the FSD. Once that is done, proceed to disarm the vessel of all weaponry, including point defense. Pack-hounds/Seekers excel on this matter since they are external mounts. Once that is completed, let the target flee for a couple of minutes without losing sight of it, then proceed to chase. You will notice the target will come to a full stop on it's own as it was surrendering. While a bit complex and risky, this method present the most enganging experience of piracy while also offering a greater reward, full cargo and faster cargo collection. | ||
