allow using cruiser to do piracy...

[Jinx]

voted "no" and "no".

i m a rather poor pilot, but never had a problem pirating in even a fighter. sometimes it doesn t work, but piracy isnt meant to be a "safe" work. its a risk. - if i sat there in a cruiser - camping traders, it would be boring. a fighter means that you ll have to be on the move, allways paying attention. that a trader has a good chance to shoot you down even. ( those transport turrets hurt, especially at short range, they rip a fighter apart )

piracy works with "up to a gunboat". - and when we have problems with even police flying gunboats ( the NPCs use not even light fighters mk 2 ) - why should the pirates start to pirate in cruisers. besides - most pirates don t have cruisers. - i can t see pirate groups like gaians, LWB, FA, Bundschuh, blood dragons ( well, originally ) etc. use cruisers at all.

when its about protection - i can sit in leeds with my lvl10 bombershield and have the regular npc police patrols come without paying too much attention to it. - they have as much chance to take my shields out as if i was sitting there in a battleship.
