The firefly was a real neat freighter, Its replacement looks like a gunboat and is armed like a gunboat.
How do you RP that beast as a friendly inoffensive freighter.
Very sorry to see the Firefly go
I am as well, but the new replacement does look great, and it does have a bit more teeth. The firefly was kind of too easy to kill, even if it was fully armed. Seems fair to give throw the traders a bone. I tried using one the last 2 weeks to pirate in. I like it but its still quite large and sluggish, I don't see it out manoevering a GB anytime soon, but it can defend against one a bit better now. As far as going up against other transports, it probably does have a decent advantage now with 6 forward firing turrets and a power output that makes it feasible to fight with it.
