Bombers can shoot transports. Fighters can shoot bombers and fighters. I don't see any of those losing all of their targets/purpose.
My post was not about what they could do,aka shoot transports,but more about why would they?
Let me compare a few things Bombers vs Transports:
Pro[bombers]:
they can kill them fast
Problems[bombers]:
They would have to worry about fighters
Pro[transport with pirate id]:
no enemies,fighters cant kill them,no capitals anymore..
And 2 transports vs one,it's always a win
Problems[transport with pirate id]:
It will take more time to kill a transport,but you won't fail there since you have more guns,more power/core then a normal transport who wants space to trade and make money

Anyway..
I don't think the problem is the ability to buy one if you want and shouldn't be restricted in any form ,but rather where to use
You have given a very good example of how not to use,aka LNS :
But the real problem is where and when to use it
As a navy officer you should not use a capital ship inside the house space[only at border worlds/systems or on the enemy house space]and you should not hunt in any form unlawful in your house space,that should only be dealt by police[right now it's pointless to fly a police id-ed ships because you get a better deal without it,aka no ships class limitation,twice the zone of influence(2 houses) then a police id] So..as a navy pilot you should only look for foreign enemy threat in your own house or in the enemie house
That is also a good example of misuse.
Someone's forgot about what navy actually is..let me give you a quote to refresh your memory:
Quote:The strategic offensive role of a navy is projection of force into areas beyond a country's shores
Let not even count that in real world there are laws that forbid them from using them inside their own territory..

Just because there is something in front of me doesn't mean I can't see or ignore it, but then don't expect me to agree with it if it doesn't match my expectations.
I dont know..but from your own signature and comments[now and past]it seems to dismiss your comment somehow..[i'll let you guess how ]
People want to believe that God has a plan for them.
They don't wanna believe that anyone else does..
