' Wrote:Cruisers are not very nibble and for that reason many might still prefer smaller ships for piracy. Making transports resistant to small ships would only encourage cruiser piracy even more.
Boosted speed for transports should have the opposite and desired effect.
LSC and Kusari Cruiser are more nimble then alot of big transports. So they will pwn smugglers now.
' Wrote:no now will be full of Pirate battle ships... and that is extremely RP...
Can we please remove the battleships, and only make them available via player bases or something like that?
Make it RP, make them cost a lot of resources... and a lot of ship crew to build them that eat a lot of food...
If you are pirated in a BS? Well sorry you are just a moron. A battleship has no CD, it has no thruster, and it will take a good 10-15 seconds before it can fire basice weapons, and like 30+ for a mortar. Any transport stupid enough to sit and wait for a BS to kill them deserves it.
Now with new rule, i would love to see the sirius transports getting into and out of gallia now past a pair of Valors.
Also "pirate" ID cannot use anything bigger then a transport/GB so no worries there. Only certain unlawful groups can use cruiser, and up. See a "pirate" ID'd player in a cruiser report it.
I am willing to bet that Liberty's LABC numbers will now sky rocket though, and so will Rogue, and Outcast cruisers. Liberty is going to become lolwut capital of sirius.
Now I think it is time to bring back a wee thing we had awhile back. Long term players will remember it. NY as a non fire zone, as in guns do 0 damage in NY. After all it promoted people to pirate in Colorado/cali/Texas, instead of gank fleets in NY which will soon sky rocket.
