Battleships and Tradelanes

[Nightfall]

Yes, I agree if the pilot was flying the Li Dread and is used to it. If you give the same pilot anything else than an Osiris, he will perform much worse. Same with any class of ships.

On the other hand, depends what were you thinking by 'should have some compensating attribute.'? I personally think you are a bit biased since you're KNF. Maybe I'm wrong, just an opinion.

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
