Re-purpose of other non-sense-make faction shiplines.

[sindroms]

Since we opened that can of worms, it seems that Discovery has finally changed its attitude towards ship types and roleplay.

Up until now, we have balanced ships for the sake of PVP balance. There is probably no better example than the current Hessian shipline, having a battleship and two cruisers, one of which is a generic Unlawful Rhienland one, but can be pretty much used only by them anyway.

We also have ships like the Scylla, which would make more sense if they were a Molly one, but we have it for the Rogues only because the shipline is shared.




This is not sarcasm. If we have finally matured enough not to give factions toys they would not have IRP and only got them for the sake of PVP balance, we might as well take a look at the rest of the shiplines. The Xenos could use a dedicated battletransport. So could the Gaians.

Now that Transports have been buffed up to gunboat or perhaps even higher strength-wise, making half cruiser transports for non-capital ship supporting factions could be a thing.
