Final version of new rules

[Dab]

Wobbly, I'm ending this here and now.

You want original FL-Liners? Alright, lets give the thing 11 turrets. Those would be 11 turrets doing 160 hull, and 80 shield damage. No shield, barely as much power as the Titan, no agility, and the armor of the current bombers. You want original, than there it is.

SHUT UP. The liner is not a battleship. It shouldn't even be able to stand toe-to-toe with a cruiser, and the gunboat if piloted well should beat it. Sure its a civilian capship. But keep in mind, NO civilian ship would be the equal of a ship made and piloted by a MILITARY. A MILITARY with vast research and development funds, large amounts of weaponry and testing equipment, and equipment that is not available to the public. Though I agree it shouldn't be as weak as the average transports, nor should it be the equal of a military or pirate capital ship. It is a TRADING SHIP. Of that Hoodlum is right. The power supply to sustain a couple thousand passengers does NOT take the power to handle battleship weaponry, shields, and other equipment. My school has around 2800 students, plus couple hundred staff. Do you see us taking more power to run the school for a day than it takes for a US battleship to run? No, not even close. Barely in the same area. A battleship's energy capacity and usage vastly outdo the energy requirements of anything less than a full-fledged capital shipyard.

The size of the liner is nothing like that of a battleship. Its just above half the size of the Osiris, the smallest of the battleships, and is skinnier than the cruisers, only giving more length than them. Its agility is that of a cruiser, and the cargo hold takes up roughly 85% of the ship. A battleship is almost twice the size, or more than the liner and the cargo hold takes up roughly 10% of the ship. The power core of a battleship has to supply power to the 90% of it that is comprised of equipment. The liner has about 15% of its size in equipment, giving about 1/8 the power needs of a battleship. Not to mention the liner would require a smaller and less powerful engine than the battleship, or even a cruiser would. Its alot of empty space sometimes filled with passengers. It gives alot of its space to luxury for those passengers as well. A battleship makes very small rooms, even for the ship's officers, as space is very limited. Luxury is non-existent with the exception of the captain's quarters. Which are still smaller than the average room.

Wanna read a certain rumor from Luxury Liner Hawaii in Sigma-19? It goes something like; We let the Corsairs do whatever they want around here. If we tried to stop them, they would blow this ship to pieces.

What does that tell you? That Corsair FIGHTERS can defeat that Liner if they were determined on it. Hey look, if you are sitting still and are swarmed by 20 Corsairs in Titan, or even Centurions, you'll die!

The Liner is FINE AS IT IS. Now shut up and go home. This discussion is over, the liner was edited, Igiss made his decision. It in no way needs to be edited. This mod deals with something called BALANCE, and you would seek to disrupt it so you can get your little hands on a battleship-killing, cruiser-sized, transport just because you don't like everyone else being more or just as powerful as you. You want something that can fight battleships? Get a goddamned battleship then!

Can a mod PLEASE close this thread?
