Reduce the Prices on Battleships

[Birdtalon]

...uh...mate...the misspelling was part of the insult.

And if you expect me to get a better trade route, let me shove this up:

There are no better trade routes for liners.

My liner gets 100 less cargo than your Firefly, on a GOOD day. With armor? Naaaah. And human cargo? Not as profitable as other normal cargo. Not to mention, one of the TWO routes we have (one of which I expect to disappear, because it's a back and forth that pays about the same as the other one) goes through California. Rogues. Efficiency? No such thing. Can't use the tradelanes. Have to go above the plane. Oh, and that vaunted firepower and survivability the liners are supposed to have to justify their 200 million pricetag? Got nerfed off. So! Crappy cargo, big targets for bombers and Ptranses. Sounds to me like sticking to my RP is making my trading experience pretty miserable as far as buying things goes.
The prices are still ridiculous, considering that three bombers can take down a Battleship. If you use that logic, a Battleship should cost 120 million, because that's what it takes to blow it up.

It is taking time. It is taking too much time. I have a life. I want to RP, and I think I've traded enough to justify being able to do that with the ship I want to and with the confidence that it's not going to get destroyed the minute some yahoo lolcap shows up.

We used to be able to buy a Battleship in three days. The armor? Three hours. Two weeks is plenty, I think. Plenty.
Mate, I have bought a Bretonian Battleship, a Liberty Dreadnought, a Bounty Hunter Battleship, an Outcast Battleship, and an Outcast Dreadnought. Count five. Those are the Battleships (and associated Cap Armor MK VII/VIIIs) that I have PERSONALLY paid for. Believe me, mate, I have done this before, and it is SICKENING, and when you're done, it is NOT this great epiphany. It sits there gathering dust waiting to get yanked out for a defensive operation and provide burst damage for five minutes before sitting on the shelf for a week again. No epiphany. No 'great feeling.' Just another ship. Caps are hard to RP, and if somebody wants to take on the challenge of doing it, they should be able to.

I really don't understand why mispelling Moron is an insult, just made me laugh.

Anyway, why so angry if you have bought bretonian battleship, Liberty dread and all those others?

Caps become easy to RP in the Order:laugh:
There is alot of contrast between the carrier that says: Hi guys, anyone want missions
and one that says Alan: Greetings Pilots, our weaponary is fully powered and ready to do some assignments

I enjoy RPing caps.

Anyway, don't get a Liner if you want a good route.
