Ship usage in RP

[Juan_Arquero]

I'm all for unique and individualistic names, but sometimes, naming conventions do need to be clearer.

For instance, the "Gunship" and "Light Cruiser" or "Battlecruiser" can be somewhat confusing. Maybe we should add something in the info section of these ships that says their specific class.

Gunship = Light Gunboat. If you don't believe me, check the mod readme that says the BH Gunship is a "Bounty Hunter Light Gunboat" and the LH Gunship is a "Lane Hacker Light Gunboat." Light Cruiser and Battlecruiser both include the word CRUISER within them. Why is it so hard to figure out that they are CRUISERS? This is ridiculous. Are you going to claim that an LF (Light Fighter) isn't a real fighter? Give me a break. Players need to use a little common sense.

u need to be very stupid to not know what ship u can use( just read the ID)... as it is right now u cant make mistakes about what ships u can use, the only think u can misunderstand is with pirate ID's where it says cruiser and bs's limit, when i started i didnt get what it ment by that, i known i could use cruiser and bs by not that about limet.. u need to read the rules to get that..

If I recall correctly, you don't need to read the rules to understand why the pirate IDs say "cruiser (limited), battleship (limited)." If you look at the text above the list of allowed ship types, you'll see a list of allowed activities that limits piracy to gunboats or smaller. That is clearly the reason why cruisers and battleships are listed as limited.
