Breakdown

Padawakang has two roles, it is both a dps anti ship if you go down the explosive dmg route, and it is the best ship to take down ports due to its role bonuses dmg to structures. Combine that with alot of furniture for structure damage and you have a winning combo.

Weapons of choice is two folds, you take mons meg3, as that is the strongest structure weapon in the game(+50% dmg bonus), and then you take fire bombards to deal with npc ships. Both of these benefits from the Detonate hull bonus.
Aux is the warhammer and you also use that to deal with npc ships. (or rocket3 if you do not have it)

Major furniture is Scoping station and it is one of the few situation where it is actualy 100% viable to use. You are after all targeting the BIGGEST weakspots in the whole game, so it is hard to miss when you have learned how to judge distance with the bombards. Only thing is you gotta keep the distance.
Rest of the minor furniture needs no further explanation, it is just all the structure dmg bonus the game has to offer and the secondary bonuses are just a good match.

Speaking of damage, below 320m at half speed each mons meg3, hits for little over 32k. Above 320m they hit for little over 70k. That is mroe then enugh to make lv12-14 forts go down as quickly as normal ports do. The detonate perk helps with extra npc ship damage when you use the fire bombards as that wep is both fire and explosive. I have tried using darndells but they are not better in that role.
