Either more or no unlawfuls should have access to 5000 cargo

[Altejago]

I feel the key thing here is unlawfuls except a few can only use 4300. This vastly under-cuts unlawfuls abilities to build POB as efficiently as lawful trading factions.

You may say it's only 700 units, but in a logistical point of view and at worst case scenario, it would take one less transport to complete some of these orders required to upgrade or build things on the bases.

Say you had 100,000 units of Industrial Hardware to take across an accumulative free-flight distance of 240k's one way. That is 24 minutes of free flight on a return trip, so lets for argument sake that there is 6 minutes of lanes and docking hole/ring animation.

That's 23 trips in a Pilgrim of 4300. 20 trips in a pure 5k.

11.5 hours of trading in a Pilgrim
10 hours in a pure 5ker.

While of course this is all fine for activity, the thing to point out is the necessary avoidance courses you take to avoid lawfuls and people out to get you.

Trading factions get to use lanes and gate everywhere, while smugglers/unlawful traders have to pick and choose depending on location and players online.

So in conclusion and in my own personal opinion, I think the unlawfuls in terms of trading are grossly disadvantaged.
