Cruisers cargo size re-balance

[Groshyr]

An introduction or 'what I am speaking about'

I am not sure is that a right place for this but I do hope moderators will move this thread if I posted it in the wrong one.

Alright, let's cut to the chase. There's plenty of words to be read. Please, be patient and read it until the end.

It's not a big deal that some cruisers have a small difference in the cargo size due to it's RP background, size, etc, but sometimes it used to happen that something goes wrong. As it happens with Rheinland cruiser and red hessian one (this is just an example, I'll attach a table of cruisers 'size/cargo' a bit later).

Speaking simple, both are heavy cruisers, but Donau, somehow, got 900 cargo space when Vidar has only 800.

What it's given to Donau? First of all - both cruisers can mount and use Cloaking device Mk2 Advanced but in context of Donau she can use CAU8 (and still some cargo space will be left free) but not Vidar - she should choose between long-term cloak or best armour. So, if I wish to have the mk2 adv - I am forced to use CAU6 or 7 (under a big question mark, because right now, with CAU6, adv cloak and one docking module, my Vidar has 15 cargo space left) or CAU8 with Mk2 cloak. Is it fair and balanced? I guess it is not.

I do understand that the developer team has much bigger matter to concern but however, I would like to raise a discussion or directly request an overhaul of cruiser cargo size to allow all heavy cruisers use cau8+mk 2 adv cloak or to rebalance working time of mk2 which is mostly used to destroyers and cruisers than mk2 adv one.

Cruiser name	Heavy/Medium/Light	Cargo space
Nomad Cruiser	Heavy (4x Heavy)	950
Order Recon Cruiser	Medium (3x Heavy)	900
Rheinland Cruiser	Heavy (4x Heavy)	900
Bretonia Destroyer	Light (2x Heavy)	800
Coalition Destroyer	Light (2x Heavy)	800
Corsair Cruiser	Heavy (4x Heavy)	800
Gaian Destroyer	Light (2x Heavy)	800
Liberty Cruiser	Light (2x Heavy)	800
Red Hessian Cruiser	Heavy (4x Heavy)	800
Rheinland Pirate Cruiser	Medium (3x Heavy)	800
Zoner Q-ship	Light (2x Heavy)	750
Rogue Destroyer	Medium (3x Heavy)	720
Core Destroyer	Light (2x Heavy)	700
Crayter Cruiser	Heavy (4x Heavy)	700
Dragon Cruiser	Light (2x Heavy)	700
Enclave Destroyer	Light (2x Heavy)	700
Gallic Destroyer	Light (2x Heavy)	700
Gammu AI Cruiser	Light (2x Heavy)	700
Kusari Destroyer	Medium (3x Heavy)	700
Outcast Destroyer	Medium (3x Heavy)	700

What do I offer?

I do offer a unification: all heavy cruisers cargo size is to 900, medium - 850 and lights 800, which will allow all of them to use cloak mk2 adv with different armours.

Why? As for me, it will allow the variety not only in the weapon but in other equipment too. Let's be honest: cloak Mk 2 adv is not so good as some people think. It has 60 seconds of charge but works for almost 17 minutes. The Mk2 charges for 20 seconds and work about 5-6 minutes. So, as for me, Mk2 can be useful during the battle for hit'n'run tactics (if any use it here) when mk2 adv is better for fleet scouting and hidden movement thought the systems full of enemies (NPC or players as well)

I do hope some of you read it until the end before start posting. Please, discuss it.

p.s. I hope devs received this as the message or request to balance cruisers a bit more.
