That said, if the ID permits the use of gunboats, then it's not against the rules. It's unusual, and I believe the XA- faction actively discourages the use of gunboats for Xeeners.

To clarify, the XA-Retribution is a Liberty navy Gunboat with no Foward gun on a Terrorist ID. It gets no nerf (unless Matt changed that, in which case it will have 90% power regen) It is an old old SRP from way before SRPs even existed.
In all respects it acts a s a Xeno ID. Just with permission to use a Gb.
The regular Xeno ID does not allow for them.
There is also a Rogue GB on a terrorist ID acting as a Xeno as well. Will receive the same nerf, if at all.
Both these are approved SRPs.
Saint Del is considered a holy healer of diseases of children, but also as a protector of cattle.
SRP or Terrorist IDs shouldn't be getting any nerf at all, with any combination of ship and equipment. If this is not the case, then something is a bit buggy and needs to be reported as such. Note that the ship needs the actual SRP or Terrorist ID, not be an SRP ship on a standard ID.
