Merge transports' nanobots into hull

[Pepe]

Imagine you are just a guy working for space transportation company. One sunny morning your boss gives you paper armor ship loaded with goods worth millions. Deliver that and try to not die, he says.

Would you... try?
...

We are not thinking out from the box here in this thread.

But fact is any player can be humiliated by another simply because he flies a transport. After having a bad day at school, this game provides free tool to steam off by molesting another player.

My humble suggestions, involving the fact this is multiplayer mod:

1. heavy transports should be more armored, no guns, merged nanobots, escort dependable, good for new players. Exclusive badass shield batteries, but they use cargo space. Can't find an escort? Not a ship for you, but keep reading.
2. light transports should be balanced for running away (with some skill). Again, no need for guns. We basically have all the ships already, just CD, size, agility and speed need to be tuned for hiding and running. 360 degrees CD? Easy to dodge snacs and mortars? Maybe. Use them for sneaky smuggler adventure, skill vs. skill. Or take a longer way and stay hidden in nebula.
3. pirate transports should be balanced for hunting other transports, but vulnerable to escorts. Merged hull, strong core, charon guns. Something like Raba with a CD.
4. every official faction should be given one barge. I miss barge drama and all that.

1 and 2 available for lawfuls, 2 and 3 for unlawful factions, 2 for freelancers.

This way lawful dude would be able to make the same money like lone contrabands smuggler in a lighter transport, after he pays for escort.
