You can also do two configurations :
-one with full laser, bo2 on ship (raf seprom the lasers, roquets, and bo2, promerium the speed)
-one with full speed, bo2 on drones
Use the first to hit (circle), if you loose life, use the second to fly away from the npc and repair your ship (buy repair booster by bidding, that costs nothing ^^). Take an aegis if you have it, it will be better to repair yourself ^^
