BHG viable capships

[Baltar]

You can say whatever you want about RP to justify flying whatever you want ... BUT ... please keep in mind that pretty much all of what you call unlawfuls are limited to their ship sizes. Here's some examples ...

Pirates are LIMITED to gunboats and smaller
Terrorists are LIMITED to fighters (there are a few exceptions)

Corsairs, Hessians, Outcasts, Lane Hacker and such have some fairly decent capships. But nobody can pirate in them. These ships are pretty much limited to defending their turf.

Now for those bounty hunters. You're job is to go after criminals ... not declare war on a faction. So ... why would you be in a battle cruiser when your targets are most likely in gunboats and smaller? There is a balance issue that is not addressed anywhere. True the rules and Bounty Hunter ID give you the right to fly pretty much whatever you want. But it kinda kills the fun of the game to swat a fly with a bazooka.
