Liners.

[AeternusDoleo]

Gunboat pulse guns would still make them considerably more powerful then other transports. It would, like the other transports that have gunboat weaponry (the Democritus which uses one more or less like a forward gun, and the Junker Frigate) require a limitation of the arcs. Either that or -all- bigger transports should be getting gunboat weaponry. Not just liners.

The difference between a liner and a transport is only maneuverability (poorer), arament (more guns) and hull rating (better). They are still civilian ships however.
