Trains and transports have been downgraded, earlier they could mount battleship equipment which made them too strong. They should be vulnerable to PC pirates - maybe get an escort? This encourages players to team up.
The Liners and Miner are a bit stronger - like you say. If you can get someone to sell you a better shield, you'll be better protected, but with less cargo space.
Role-played characters:
daedalus - Liberty Navy
bandersnatch - Ruthless criminal possessed by a (huge) alien
Shredder - Small-time Kusari pirate, looking to join the Blood Dragons
"Bounty Hunters. We don't need that scum." - Admiral Piett
