' Wrote:Don't kid yourself. The battle transports will have around 4000-4200 cargo, similar to the Bretonian Shire.Got the pont but that means its almost useless because it has almost nothing against the bombers.
There will never be any transports with more than 5000 cargo, except for the Barge. The Devs have made that explicitly clear. The aforementioned Battletransport will likely have at least 8 turrets, so that will be their strong defensive aspect.
8 or 12 whatever the turret number is it will use transport turrets that are not much effective aginst bombers.
Why exactly the pirates always have the upper hand.

Sacrifice some cargo space for a CAU4 or even a CAU6, you'll have plenty of armor to outlast the occasional bomber while running to port. Remember to dodge SNACs at range. If the bomber comes close to counter that strategy, show him/her what those 12 turrets can do. THAT is how you use a liner or battletransport properly.
Using one unarmored? You might as well use a Zoner Whale.

CAU4 Transports, man. Tough stuff. Also affordable.
If a Mastodon can dodge a SNAC, a Battletransport can do it too. :cool:
Edit: I think you inadvertently confirmed the Lib BT has 12 turrets? : )))

How would pirates make their money if the traders were more fearsome than they were?

I believe the general answer would be "get escorts".:crazy:

You'll find that the battletrasnports will (probably) be sold on bases where pirates cannot dock. Just a thought.

Just a quick question.
When the new version comes in will my LABC have its lights reset to default or will it try to put the lights I have on it? Because I kinda like the ones on the screens.
Also will turrets become un-mounted or will I just have to re-organise them for the new turret slots?

Offtopic, but:
Ships that get a new model will likely have their light hardpoints a little out of order. We try and update the packages, but existing ships can't be taken into account. Same deal for the turrets - you'll have to unmount and remount what you have. People forgetting to do so might get the occasional anticheat kick (for having stuff on hardpoints that can no longer be there).
[Edit] @Above. Lib battletrans has 11 turrets. Good arcs though.
