I guess you fail in reading. Same story with the Dev team- so much bad decisions lead to the tragic server activity.
It is not taking off anything it is trading off things, if the pirat wants to use the said CD he needs to make 3 trade offs-
-first trade off is to use heavy bomber only, not gb not cruiser not light bomber- this makes him quite vulnerable vs escorts and lawfuls
-second trade off is to sacrifice ton of damage output by not using snac or nova to get the said cd- quite bad thing
-third trade off is to pay lets say 5-6 m for ammo- risky investment since he can just die to the first police LF out there without robbing anyone.
The trick here is that the silent running is not a option anymore together with kill me I have no cargo thing, pirat with the said cd can completely stop and snac snipe off all of the said trader equipment, that as I proposed costs quite a lot.
Even if the trader is complete "I does not care to RP" type and uses no equipment the pirat can invest the said 5-6 mill in ammo to ruin his day by keeping him grounded quite long time.
So this opens new two trade offs for the trader
- to RP or loose its equipment that cost a lot
- to run silent every time without any equipment that makes him defenseless even in situation where he could win.
The whole thing actually promotes teamplay for both sides.
Same story for the transp, the current speed gives nice trade off- proper flown medium transps with cap armours are just unkillable by single pirate. The current trade off is not good it cuts 2000 cargo and trade it off for immortality. I was recently in situation where two relative good light bombers needed 20 min to kill good cau armored small transport and took a lot of damage in the process. If he wanted to run he could had made 300k thrusting without problem dodging snacs,.
All of the bomber equipment is not balanced to deal with such high speed targets, snacs are easy to dodge, novas are totally useless and bomber cannons can barelly hit 20-30% of their shots.
