Final version of new rules

[Wobbly]

What??

The Albatross is not a civilian ship, it is an IMG ship.

What??:PThe IMG is as civilian as Spa and Cruise, they are not a military group and in fact have far less resources than Spa and Cruise.

Also, shield power is not related to the size of the ship.

I'm tempted to do red and blue blobs to graph shield power vs. size of ship, but I won't.

Instead I will state the obvious, shield power is directly related to the size of the ship, even if you say it isn't.

Another thing to remember, Wobbly, is that the original FL was not perfect, and had balancing issues. That is what has been addressed in Disco, and Disco has done a good job with it.

Which as a blanket statement is essentially correct, yet you fail to make any point against my argument there.

Freelancers original balance issues do not invalidate the designers build of the lux liner, it just means that the liner turrets were weak, like liberty BS turrets were weak.

I agree with Dab in that I believe that the Liner is balanced with respect to it's intended purpose, that of a passenger liner. Yes, the power systems would most likely be comparable to that of a battleship, but as stated would be intended for supporting alot of passengers on long, deepspace voyages.

Gunboats, which the lux liner is in almost every respect in this mod, do not match luxury liners in size, power, or in the weapons each could support.

Power is power, if power is there to support passengers, it can be rerouted in emergency to fire big guns.
