Culture, anyone?

But according to piloting skills, the Clydesdale is only SLIGHTLY slower than the Rhino, which means that the Clydesdale is actually BETTER than the Rhino in terms of travel time, and it doesn't have more defense capabilities (ex: more turrets, or at the very least the armor is TWICE the armor of the Rhino). What would be great is that both ships would differ in both speed, defense capabilities AND THEN the cargo, like this (the important changes are yellow):

The Rhino:
Guns/Turrets: 0/4
Opt. weapon class: 3
Max. weapon class: 5
Additional equipment:
* 1xCM
* 1xM
Hull strength: 5000
Max. shield class: 3
Cargo space: 225
Nanobots/Batteries: 12/12
Max. impulse speed: 80 m/s
Cruise Charge Time: 6 seconds (more or less the default time)
Max. thrust speed: [depends on Liberty Thruster] 200-250 m/s

Additional information:

Ship price: $51,500
Package price: $53,270

The Clydesdale:
Guns/Turrets: 4/8
Opt. weapon class: 3
Max. weapon class: 5
Additional equipment:
* 1xCM
* 1xM
Hull strength: 12500
Max. shield class: 3
Cargo space: 550
Nanobots/Batteries: 24/24
Max. impulse speed: 40 m/s
Cruise Charge Time: 15 seconds
Max. thrust speed: [depends on Bretonian Thruster]100-125 m/s

Additional information:

Ship price: $52,500
Package price: $55,270 (unsure)

So I would say that the pair belong to the Light Freighters, but that the two have major differences: the Libertonian Rhino has lower armor, guns, shields and nanobots, but at least they compensate it with their high-speed and short cruise-engine charge time. The Bretonian "big" Clydesdale, however, is the "patient, beast of burden" that its name implies.

Understand now? They both have their advantages and disadvantages, so the country they are manufactured from will determine the style they have in both combat and trading ability. More or less the two are the same in class, but have been specialized so that they fit the culture of the country they are manufactured by.

The reply here is for Kikatsu. You roly, however, I agree with you. The house factions should be more or less the same in class, but the stronger ships nearer to the capital system, or nearer to important sights.
