Final version of new rules

You know, this is why I'm giving up on this community.

Transports, including liners, shouldn't be able to fly around without escorts

The same is true for battleships down to fighters, all have escorts.

So that argument doesn't really hold water, if the liner should be weakened because it has an escort, all ships should likewise be weakened, especially the battleships which require cap ship escorts, how weak should be for that?

There really is no valid reason that I have seen to further nerf the liner, in fact it should be beefed up considerably.

Anyway, a Liner (any type) should NOT wander the sector without escorts.

Actually, it's one of the few ships that should be able to, two are parked, alone, as stations. Something only battleships can otherwise do. That's a pretty good indication that liners should be a tough nut to crack.

I see a lot of posts that seem to want Spa and Cruise to build a floating target without any real reason why they would. Why would they risk their livelihood and reputation by putting their passengers in a flying eggshell? Pirates have gunboats, they can expect pirates to attack, so their ship should be more than a match for a gunboat, otherwise they have no business.
