Igiss, I thought I'd mention

It seems to me that the prison ships and luxury liners in this mod could use some improvement. I think that they should be modified to be able to carry more of their respective specialized cargo than even the large train. Even if there is no way to enable them to carry more of a specific type of cargo, there is a way to make them able to mount special modular equipment.

Lets say you could make a piece of gear that can only be mounted by a prison ship, lets call that piece of equipment a "cell block" that supposedly contains "x" amount of prisoners, and is proportionately worth "x" amount of money. Then that "cell block" could be buyable for a very cheap price in the same place, and proportionately the same price as ordinary prisoner cargo; and transported to a place where prisoners are sold for tons of money. Thus making it worthwhile to have the prison and luxury liners in the game since it would actually be possible to make reasonable money with them.

To make it really worth while the prices should be worked out to allow for more profit transporting prisoners/VIP's respectively than would be possible for a large train; say at least 250% or more profitable, to compensate for the trains capacity to make big bucks on the return trip.

Lets say, if a large train could make $14 mill on a certain round trip transporting VIP's and another type of cargo, (on the return trip) it should be possible to make $16-20 mill on a single one way voyage with a luxury liner transporting these modular VIP transport units.

That way you might actually see people doing cargo runs with prison ships/luxury liners as there would be more to them than just a novelty that has no particular use at all.

Incidentally, it would be necessary to assign a specific cargo value to any such modular units, to prevent anybody from buying/mounting a few on their ship, then dismounting them only to buy more, and ending up with like 80 of them in their cargo bays in the case that they were not assigned a cargo unit value.

Yours truly, Dan.
