If both pilot's are equally skilled, on a featureless area on a map, a Plasma Bulgarsari is going to win. Now if the Inquisitor is the Ember/Taran combination thats a different story entirely.

An Orkan/Thunder Inquisitor versus a Plasma Bulgasari, barring no mistakes on the Bugasari, the Bugasari should win that as well, because it can dodge it whole Orkan salvo with a couple of dashes, leaving the Inquisitor on the reload (it can shoot a few rockets per second afterwards but that isn't enough firepower), unless the Inquistor pilot has fantastic aim (but I'm talking equal skill here).

There are a few inconsistances in your battle example, one is you said as soon as an Inquisitor empties its plasma salvo it can use its Descend and repeat, not so fast it takes only 10 seconds to unload the plasma weapons (unless you meant it take shots in 2 second intervals) and 20 seconds to recharge its Descend (thats a 10 second gap the Bulgasari could take advantage of). Also it would take at the very least 2 full salvos to severely cripple or destroy the Bulgasari (that is a total of 30 seconds, a cycle is 15 seconds). This is with it just blocking the plasma with its physical shield (it can also evade come shots with dashing).

A Redeemer is only 25% more powerful than a Taran, and the fact the Bulgasari has more health than the Inquisitor, that makes up for the 25% damage output difference, and a single salvo is plenty enough for a Bulgasari to take out an Inquisitor.

Lastly even if the Inquistor uses it Descend to reload, due to its large frame the Bulgasari could still hit it, even when its in stealth).
