Armour upgrades

And yes, you would still be able to use as Battleship and Battlecruiser captain all Upgrades available.
As far as I read it, it is compatible downwards but not upwards.

Yup, that's the idea. I could have made that a bit clearer I guess

@ N00blet. I disagree. On a 5000 unit transport, the loss of a few hundred units to mount a cap VIII is nothing. Now if they lost half their cargo space, that actually might be something worth thinking about. You up for that happening? I'm not. I just don't think they should be physically able to mount them.

So here comes the poll...........................

Sounds good, but that would add another layer of bureaucracy to the admin's job, because no doubt unless this was enforced people would just ignore it.

Anyway, if there's a trader fitted with a VIII it's their loss. I mean, they just wasted a silly amount of money and lost a lot of cargo space. There's also exceptions though, like for example Bowex's flagship. It's a Royal Liner and we intend to put a VIII upgrade on it at some point because it's not exactly a trade ship and it is our flagship which is supposed to have the CEO onboard.

It may be your flagship, but it's still a Liner, not a Battleship. A Royal Liner should be a thing of luxury, not a clunking great uber-tank with walls 20' thick. In my opinion, of course!
