Loomer is a tier 10 frigate used by the Fringe Systems Resistance.
This ship has a rather strange and haphazard design, but should not be underestimated. Loomer is fast and armed with a single EMP missile and one absurdly long railgun. As a dedicated kiting ship, Loomer is difficult to catch, but easy to destroy once in range. The railgun's projectile moves so fast that it is almost impossible to shoot down with either flak or point defense, and the EMP can take down shields just in time for the railgun to fire and destroy them. Loomer does have some weaknesses though. The most notable one is the total lack of missile defense. While it has a large shield and some armor protecting itself, EMPs will be able to take down the large shield with no opposition. If you have more than one EMP, the second EMP can then strike at one of Loomer's thruster blocks, allowing slower ships to catch up and demolish Loomer.
If you can't catch up to Loomer or disable its engines, you will have to rely on secondary flanking ships to distract Loomer or ambush it and fire at its railgun or engines. If you lack flankers as well, then your only option is to attempt to chase Loomer into a position where it can't escape or will get surrounded, such as towards a friendly station or into a tough environmental hazard such as a dense asteroid field.
