Some Freighter/Transport Questions

[Jinx]

a highlevel player should know to value agility sometimes higher than cargo hold. - and going for size only encourages the very one sided non roleplay trader ( shouldn t sound offensive - but i think that is a problem indeed ) when i say that a high level player is only interested in cargo, then i WILL get that sort of traders that exploit Tau-31. ( and thats not the fault of tau-31, its the players that do it )

when we want to see more than just trains flying around - we must make alternatives.

many suggestions were made. like VIPs NOT taking up 5 cargo slots on liners. passengers taking up 2 slots on a cargo tansport, but only 1 on a liner. artifacts/drugs taking up 1 slot on a freighter - but 2 on a cargo transport. take away thrusters from transports, double their armor but reduce their shield class to lvl4.

a lot of those suggestions were made and i think some of them would work into the direction to NOT see all the high levels fly trains or container ships. those that fly anything else but those 2 ships are naive roleplayers and i am damn happy that we have those around. cause when you only go by stats, - i m really sorry, transports are the ship of choice. they are master of all traits and not master of one like they should be. a transport is a flying fortress that can hardly be cracked by anyone that sticks to roleplay. ( yes, i know a fighter can crack a contrainertransport with armor upgrade 8 - but try with a roleplay fighter, roleplay armor, roleplay weaponry - whats left then. a few corsairs might be able to take a transport down, cause they have novas. a few outcasts might - but they don t have armor 8 - and will prolly die to the transports turrets and they only have infernos and their kraken weapons - no one else has high punch weapons, order won t pirate, zoners don t do that either - not too many others have access to that technology )

to encourage roleplaying and diversity - i believe its a step into the wrong direction to punish freighters even more. if you think they are only for the low level players - make them more attractive to the higher levels - and i do not mean increasing their cargo. there ARE other stats than just cargo size - and players know about it.

Ps.: i m flying a luxory liner right now, cause my main cargo is passengers and artifacts - and yes, i could easily afford a train or even an advanced train when its going live. but what passenger would like to travel in a container when there are liners around.
