Final version of new rules

[Wobbly]

A liner May be the same size as a battleship, but its POWER SYSTEMS, it WEAPON STRENGTH, and its SHEILD strengh are ALL comprimised to make the passengers feel good.

Well, your blue and red blob were certainly scientific:P

Power systems would likely be the same as a battleships, supporting passengers takes a lot of power.

Weapon strength would be the same as a battleship, liner turrets are cap ship turrets, the liner has the size to support BS turrets.

Shields likewise would be the same as a BS, shield strength is related to size.

The main difference is armor, in unmodded FL the liner has a lot less armor than a BS, and that armor takes significant strength.

The liner should reflect what it is in original FL, where it is a cross between a cruiser and BS in power.

The only difference of note between a liberty BS turret and a liner turret in stock FL was that the BS turret did more damage (roughly 80 vs 60 per shot), everything else was pretty much identical.

In stock freelancer, the liner is given cruiser handling with BS hit points.

As far as power, stock FL gives the cap ships (including the liner) infinite power, so no help is given there.

If we take unmodded freelancer as a baseline, the liner is not a gunboat, it is a cap ship that is a cruiser in power, more or less. Something like another civilian cap ship, the albatross, is like in discovery.
