Defence against vulcans

I've managed to get a good little ship going which can withstand most encounters. My BadBoy can handle most combat situations relatively easily thanks in part to:

• Venghi Heavy Shield Generator (977, Blocks 38.5 dmg/s)
• Venghi Charger (+44/s shield regen)
• Venghi Light Armor (2.6x base armor, 17.5% damage resistance with a total of 42.5% damage resistance)
• High speed and mobility

These aren't crazy high numbers, but they do the job... except when it comes to vulcans. That pesky trait of ignoring shields is a right pain. On smaller ships, it's not so bad. On larger capital ships with multiple turrets, it's bullet hell. Especially since I'm pretty sure computer ships never run out of munitions (I could be wrong).

Other than increasing damage reduction or just simply not taking the hit, are there other ways to mitigate the damage done by vulcans?
