Civilian Cruiser

[AeternusDoleo]

...Meh. Whether or not it's 'lore friendly' or 'questionable' is a matter of perspective. I mean, look at classic pirate ships, whom depending on the size of the ship, might have anywhere between a couple dozen and a couple hundred crew. They had to have enough people to operate the boat, plus large boarding parties to fight the crew of the enemy ship, operate THAT boat if they chose to claim it, take losses, etc.

True, but those ships were generally not as well armed or protected as dedicated military frigates, not to mention the man-o-wars. A civilian ship haphazardly converted into an attack boat would be something akin to a pirate Bison, or Pilgrim. Not a fullsized military vessel. Pirate ships tended to burn down quickly when faced with a military opponent from what I've read...
