Pirate Frigate idea

[Thexare]

I know we cannot have capital pirate ships looming around like a pile of hornets on vodka going "Money or die" all the time, I know this. This has since led to PTrans, bombers and Sabres flying around with absolute glee.

This idea strikes me because what if we had hybrid combat transports floating around hunting for cargo instead of electronic penis money, or credits as its called.

Time out. You included the Pirate Transport, and now you're complaining about not enough ships capable of cargo piracy? And given the PTrans's lacking agility and limited gun arcs, it's really not that good at taking on bombers.

What?

The Big Dragon's another ship that handles it decently - not quite as good in combat as the PTrans, but it's still not bad.

And, hell... freighters, people! Try them! If I can pirate in an unarmored Train, I think most people could handle piracy in a freighter. Less profit, but at least it's easier to escape.
