Discovery Dictionary

I recently read a post by one of the Admins that said that a prison liner (or luxury liner) with gunboat turrets gets reclassified from a transport to a gunboat. Similarly, a battlecruiser with battleship turrets gets reclassified from a cruiser to a battleship. Note that in 4.84, prison liners and luxury liners won't be able to mount gunboat turrets.

Capital ships are defined as gunboats, cruisers and battleships. I can't remember if destroyers are classified as gunboats or cruisers. The original Freelancer game never intended for players to be able to fly a capital ship, so the infocards have to say freighter, since an Admin posted (sorry, I can't remember where) that the Discovery mod can't change that.

The RP rules don't specify that prison liners are only limited to carrying prisoners and pilots, just as the luxury liner isn't limited to carrying passengers.
