what the hell pirates

[Unseelie]

My proposal is this: Arm transports with extended range gunboat weaponry That is to say, guns with a range of about 1100 over 1-2 seconds of travel time, with dps of between 2500-3000 for the 'primaries' (thats adding 600-800 dps to the current guns, no other change) Give Transports Missile turrets, and pulse cannons. Give them Razors.

The gunboats will retain stronger sheilds, and much better agility, but transports will come out looking like absolute machines. Pirates will want to use transports, and police organizations will pick up the transports as well. Transports will be found everywhere, as the general purpose, slightly less than military organizations will see them as quite useful, rather than the entirely vulnerable boats they are today. People will spamm them, rather than gunboats, which are military hardware.

People will trade more to earn the hundreds of millions nessisary to replace their gunboats with transports, which will stimulate the rp cycle.



And, on topic, Sirius is not slotted into the nice, simple, lawful times of the 21st century. Its much more the dark ages, or the wild west(or, my favorite, the age of piracy). Criminals are floating around with military hardware, and often -better- military hardware, than the houses themselves.
