I'm more effective in a transport than a gunship. Figure that out.
Back in 4.84 when transport and gunboat shields were actually comparable I was able to take a PTrans and stomp out badly piloted gunboats with frightening regularity. I haven't had the chance lately but I imagine it's a lot harder.
Can I lobby for a blurrier line between "defended" transports and the gunboat class?
As for capitals, I've tried them and I can't RP a cap worth a damn.
