Capital Armor and Gunboats

[Baltar]

I don't think Gunboats should be able to mount capital armor.
That is all.

Well ... none of my vessels have cap armor upgrades ... BUT ... I'm seriously thinking about these upgrades with all the Bounty Hunters hunting pirates in battle cruisers and battleships. We really don't need them against those WE target since they're usually in transports and freighters. But if these capship Bounty Hunters keep showing up to attack us ... we're gonna do whatever we can to survive.

Incidentally ... here's probably a more fitting discussion ... transports with cap armor upgrades. Now isn't that interesting. The only thing preventing smaller ships from having these things is the size of their cargo holds. Cap armor upgrades take up about 300 units of cargo space. If you get those uber-traders with their larger than a planet transports ... yeah ... they tend to mount these. Especially those container transports with 12 turrets. Seems some of these traders have converted their container transports into a poor-man's battleship. Yup ... they actually go in pairs and engage pirates in these things.

Chew on that for a while.

Gotta admit, it's kinda weird to have the same armor fit gunboats AND battleships :/

Would be nice to have gunboat class armour, cruiser class armor, battleship class armor etc. but again, not sure if that's quite necessary.

Have to say though, cap8 on a BH gunship is a bit ridiculous.

Gunboats would not need these if Bounty Hunters would stop hunting in uber-caps.

That is all.
