' Wrote:I'd say it's the 3000-range transports who have the best shout at getting a stat boost. The big 5ks should definitely be the most vulnerable, otherwise why would anyone fly the others, which have a lot of character imo. (Behemoth sattelite ftw)
I'm of the oppinion that the 4-5k transports are the pinnical of tradeships, and should be shown as such across the entire board of their stats, because of the vast change in price from a 3k transport to a 4-5k transport, but I still feel like -all- transports deserve a boost.
Freighters should be about the same strength as fighters, and transports should be poor man's gunboats(the 2-4k ones), and poor man's cruisers.
The suggestion that Transports shouldn't be able to stand up to military hardware, that they're civilian ships, sort of assumes pirates have the same sort of funding as house militaries, that they are, actually, military hardware, rather than hardware bought and payed for off of the proceeds of predating Corporations. Furthermore, the suggestion that there is any sort of 'civilian', and nonmilitary, hardware floating around the starlanes of Sirius is a naive idea of what its really out there. You do -not- float a 200 million credit ship that can be torn down by one that costs 20, or 30, or 50 million, especially when that ship is likely to be hauling up to 20 million -more- credits in its hold.
Civilian grade/military grade is a construct which can be applied any which way, to make many ships weaker. The suggestion that Corporations deserve weaker ships because they're not militaries...Well, pirates aren't militaries either, and if they have military ships, its a waste and disgusting to use them for any other purpose than fending off the great militaries of space. If you decline to make the distinction between the House militaries, and the House police, or the House Militaries and the Pirates, then how dare you make it between the pirates and the corporations?
' Wrote:lvl 4 transport turrets have as fast projectiles as those on cruisers. What else do you people want? It's already extremely hard to pirate in a VHF, but possible.
Small buff there and it'll be absolutely impossible. That's what all you supporters here are trying to achieve.
Yes, actually. Your VHF cost you an hour or two of mindless trading. My transport cost me TEN, so excuse me for being indignant while you wipe the floor with me. Get a buddy. You'll find its more fun if you have a friend.
