I've been thinking we need a new sub-class of transports, kinda like a middle ground between freighters and transports. Blockade runners.

What I'm thinking is, smallish (for transports), somewhat maneuverable (for transports), with lowish cargo (depending on the individual ship, probably between 2000 and 3000) and good armor for their size (90-120k, maybe). Also, like the Yacht, give them a somewhat quicker speed than normal transports (though their thrust speed should still be lower than a fighter/freighter), as well as dual-CM slots. Weaponry can vary depending on the particular ship; some may be extremely light, made entirely for slipping through and running away (this is mostly what I'm looking for), while others (likely those with less cargo) may be relatively heavily armed (along with a CD), for use as attack/piracy transports.

Basically, I'm looking for ships like the Yacht, only without the luxury stigma and with a bit more cargo.

Don't worry about people abusing them; they should be priced the same as mid-size transports (like the BW trans or Firefly), but would have a fair bit less cargo room than those. And honestly, most traders aren't going to sacrifice 1k cargo (or even 500 cargo) for a second CM and a somewhat faster thrust speed. It's more of a niche market.

I'm hopeless at shipmaking, or I'd try myself (though I also lack Milkshape).

Thoughts?
