Salvager is now a Gunboat

[Rudo]

well - currently it was a transport....

and we do have an example of a gunboat that is meant to be a transport, too - and thats the zoner GB.

i must say, i m a bit disappointed that it cannot stay a transport, cause i don t think its unbalanced as it is - but if it becomes a real gunboat, .... it does become a "real" gunboat - not a very good one though - its still a pile of junk from a non military faction.

I don't know the reasons why it was made into a gunboat after all these months of no reported problems, but it was fine before that happened.

And yeah, turning it into a 'pure' gunboat really messes up a lot of Junkers who use it as a main transport, myself included. I was thinking along the lines of opening it up for more effective piracy as it's reclassed as such. Comparable to the Pirate Transport or the Raba.

If it's going to be treated as a warship, give it an effective combat role that doesn't require more than the average amount of support. As of right now it's roughly about as combat effective as a Shire or CTrans, and if moreso then not by much.
