How to support trading factions

[Friday]

The reason I don't want to buff transports (apart from the fact it is not my responsibility) is that buffing transports by themselves does not encourage group play. It makes transports tougher and if anything encourages individual play.

Buffing transport armor if you have an escort addresses complaints related to bombers killing the escorted ships before the escorts can do anything about it.

I guess capships could be escorted in a similar way. I noticed in the recent event that there was something of a lack of escorting fighters for the caps.

When I use the word faction I'm not refering to only official factions but any group of players.

What about buffing Transport energy under /escort as well?

It would make the use of energy-chewing Type 4 Turrets more viable against enemy bombers.
