Transport Powerplants

[mjolnir]

If transport power plants re going to be made less great, I think they should get cap style weapons...razors, pulse cannons, missiles. If not, what tenny said. Their weapons re crap....Give them interesting weapons, or leave their power plants alone.

Yes cause transports are meant primary for fight or? :unsure:

Furthermore, Transports are supposed to be fortresses.

Always good to learn something new.

They're expensive because devs want to lengthen the time it takes to get capitalships...And now, the profits you can earn are lower.

This is b******* and you know it as you followed the discussion very closely over there. The "increased" price on the top one is there to encourage use of smaller transports => make server more colorful.

They cost up to four times the price of Gunboats. They should be on at least even footing with them.

Sure then why would you fly a GB when you can use a transport for that?

They can -already- (and will always, unless severely, severely, retardedly gimped) take out other transports. Giving them better guns will -not- make them better pirates.

Giving then better guns won't make them better? :wacko:

And people think our merchanters wouldn't sail with cannons? That's pirate bias.

Let's put it this way. I fly my transport (with 6 guns) an since start of 4.85 I have had 6 pirates trying pirate me. Not a single time did they had a chance.
(1 VHF, 3 bombers, 2 gbs).
VHF I can simply kill
Bombers I can kill if they are not so good, if they are good I can get 50k away and dock no problem
GBs I can get out of gun range from easily and they can't catch up.

So why in the hell would I ever even think about hiring an escort?

You are usually saying how "we should promote teamplay on both sides". Yes now we are doing that just on one side.
