Slavery, Slaves & Slave Liners

[Dusty Lens]

Heres my two cents on the slave liner:

1) Turrets could use an aesthetic change, yes.
2) Projectile could also use an aesthetic change I dont want to steal my favorite factions thunder But the Xeno gun styling for the cerb bolt might look exceptionally evil.

The Slave Liner, as I understand it, was built around the concept that it would be used as a vessel that worked to acquire slaves. A rarely encountered vessel flown by Slavers that would strike phear into the heart of passing transports laden with VIPs etc.

That notion has been replaced with one of being a hardened generic Junker transport, which is its most common utilization today. I can hardly undock without running into two of them.

Now. I think that the vessel is robust enough for its purpose, from my humble experience. However I do feel that the guns could use a boost.

Before anyone begins to cry that, if the guns were given a boost, that people would simply acquire them for their other vessels Not so much. People were smacked down for employing Mars Flyer kit on other vessels, the same could easily be applied to Slave turrets.

Secondly, to be fair, if someone bought a slave liner for the turrets and then slapped them onto his Train Those would be some extremely expensive turrets.

But here comes the question with the turrets themselves. If the vessel is to be thought as something equipped to handle the decimation of other transports to gobble up their sweet sweet human cargo, what would be most appropriate?

Heavy hitting class 1s with additional range? Additional power? Ultra short range with devastating destructive potential?

Otherwise people will (and do) simply sell them at first opportunity to grab something thats actually useful, which rather negates the point.
