Rework mortars

Apparently lower level ships are slower than high level ships which is why the op finds fighting mortars hard.

Lower level ships are much faster, upgrading them only makes them slower. However they also have a much smaller speed cap than higher level ships. I think a tier 3 rare turbo should give you more speed than 1.24 but I'm guessing you maxed your speed.

Against mortars, ship agility is almost asimportant as speed. Don't just try move forward or backward, move a little to the left or right too like Wishaal said.

If you are an mk3 shooter at 1k infamy, it's time you branch out and away from high dps but low burst dmg weapons like cannons.

You need something more from here on, cannons won't just do, you are in a low enough infamy where experimenting with new weapons is possible. Also cannons mean you need to be close, out in the open and get pooped on. If you want to use weapons like cannons, pick speeder, your set up fits speeder better.
