Proposal: Remove Battleships from the Zoner ID.

[Omicron]

- it is OORP to fly through the edgeworlds in even a gunboat sized vessel. - freighters and small transports can do it, because they have a different life support / fuel ratio to mission time.

it is INRP to use at LEAST destroyer sized vessels. - the Fearless is an Freeport supply transport ( or so it was designed by AoM back then ) - the lack of lanes and borderstations makes it ... inRP ... impossible for snubs to even get from one freeport to another without the pilot perishing to radiation, starvation, lack of oxygen or just becoming crazy after months of loneliness - yea inRP it takes months to traverse a system. ( and if you argue with inRP - you gotto keep that in mind )

Snubcraft being incapable to traverse through one system is invalid and let me tell you why. Back in Vanilia, Corsair NPC's were spotted on Trafalgar in New London. Count how much they've got jumps to make to any closest base of theirs? It is all the way in Omega 5 (!) from where Corsairs had to travel through Cambridge first. Transport escorts are travelling with their respective cashcows from shipping platform to its equivalent in other house (!). The Order and surprisingly the Core (having no carrier-capable ships, ever saw something remotely close to a hangar on Mako?) can operate with snubs all the way, making war through... snubs mainly (!). Now imagine Hudson and Galileo in vanilia times where they did had not a single lawful/neutral base to dock on! Let's not forget Corsairs again hauling their four letters all the way to Kusari and Blood Dragons moving all the way from Chugoku to Shikoku to free their battle brothers/sisters from local prison station.

To cool down potential overloard of information, let's talk about what snubcrafts and freighters are and can do in addition. Obviously capable of keeping little guy inside alive for super-extended ammount of time (neccesary for any practical purpose in deeper parts of the system). They have FTL drives of their own, allowing them to move in unrestricted manner within given system. They are found escorting freighters in edge worlds which are doing what? I've personally observed Zoner DROMEDARIES delivering supplies to Meshkenet, Omicron Zeta. Same goes for any freeport in Omicrons - big ships as NPC's are solely represented by other factions.
