Liner weaponry

[Highland Laddie]

A weapon somewhere between transport and gunboat strength, but with transport range would be a nice compromise.

Charons prove to be pretty useful against cargo pirates, but a clever bomber would easily make the liner shed tears.

liners ... can actually dodge SNAC fire fairly well

What version of Discovery are you playing? Anything (significantly) larger than a Pelican is trivial to hit with SNACs.

Giving Liners stronger turrets it would actually make them a nice replacement for a capship for factions that otherwhise wouldn't be able to fly one.

I don't think Liners should mount anything.

The Titanic wasn't a floating fortress. It got pwned by some solid water for god's sake.

I'm just curious why liners are, in general, being treated as ships that should have more hull, equal cargo amount, and (now) stronger weapons than a battletransport.

And now liners are supposed to be mini-capital ships?

I definitely am missing something.....

Liner's unlike other transports are meant to carry people. It will be more reasonable to have it a small notch higher than other transports in terms of weaponry.

Personally, I would think that with how much armor a Liner has, it should be able to reliably make it to the nearest base and dock to avoid death by pirate. At least it has enough firepower as is to delay death.
