Final version of new rules

[Wobbly]

A ship with all the space devoted to making its passengers comfortable will NOT have enough room for the power generators and the wiring for the guns and all the things that pure military craft do.

The lux liner is much larger than a gunboat, it is battleship sized, large enough to serve as a dockable station. It would have comparable engines and power generation to a battleship as a simple matter of necessity. I think the lux liner in unmodded bini files has less armor but comparable firepower to capital military ships.

Those high rollers aren't paying the big bucks to see the sights in a death trap after all.

More to the point, the ship has to fill a niche to be useful. Nerf it further than you did in the last mod update and you might as well just take it out of the mod because no one will fly it, RP or not. On blue knights I think I am the only one flying one anyway, for RP reasons with a spa and cruise ID since it's safe to do that on that server and not risk a ban for doing so.

Really, as a trader it's half the profit of a large train, and as a cap ship it can't hold it's own against other cap ships, it's the worst of both worlds in a lot of ways.

I suggest BS shields, cruiser armor and weapons if it is allowed to be a target for cap ships, and keeping it as is if it is restricted to gunship and below attacks.
