Afterburner, dospect and some nice escorts. If you´ve got the cloaking device it´s a piece of cake

I'd forgotten about the cloak. I went and sat in one of the uninhabited systems near Stror and captured three Igazras and three Zidaras. It took me a while, but The Rock fell easy enough.

Well I'm aligned with the Azdgari so they were pretty hunked off at me anyway, but I think (and feel free to correct me) that my legal status wouldn't be altered because I attacked the ships in an uninhabited system. To be honest, if you're aligned with any of the strands, just take ships from the other two. At the end of the game they'll hate you anyway.

Well, the quickest way to decimate crescent ships is to have a ship heavy on armor. Phase cannons don't even leave a dent against heavy armor. If you're on friendly terms with the Voinians then a Voinian Cruiser or Frigate would be a good choice. If you're a UE kind of guy, then I think you can outfit your ship with dospect armor from Pareen Station after you finish the Pareen Station missions, or you could use a UE Cruiser.

The other option is to use a fast ship like a Zidara and use quick piloting to outmaneuver the pesky fighters. That or you can go the route Tarquin took and capture a lot of powerful escorts.

Hope this helps,
