Merge transports' nanobots into hull

[Sand-Viper]

Things like this make me wonder about some people, why would you even use a SNAC on a transport unless you intended to kill them? If you are using a SNAC to scare a trader into paying, well that is just sad. And for many years the thing about adding armor is it uses cargo space, well it should. Basically you will be making tougher 5kers that do not have to sacrafice space.

Well, I honestly haven't pirated anyone since Scorcher Bombs were introduced, so I would likely use one of those instead of a SNAC these days. Back then, I really had no choice but to run with a SNAC, since the only alternative was the higher-damaging Nova Torpedo. Regardless, a lot of people prefer to run full EMP/SNAC bombers in order to be able to potentially counter lawful snub craft, so even a partial merge where transports keep some of their nanos and gain a little more armor might be beneficial to every situation.

To quote a song from Johnathan Coulton: "We're at an impasse here - maybe we should compromise?"
