Liners are difficult to take down in house space (trade lanes, thrust to nearby bases, etc). If they get more defensive capabilities, then they better stay still like the real ones.
If only Liners earned money by sitting with passengers at tourist hot spots, making money per short time interval when they remain in the hot spot area. That means liners would resemble their vanilla counterparts, while being able to gain increased defensive capabilities (as they'll be forced to be stationary in a potentially dangerous area). Someone else thought up an idea like this, so thanks for giving the original idea.
