Info about that is in the Faction ID's in the game, mostly because of balance, Cruisers overpower Freighters, things like that, though theres nothing from you pirating NPC's in a cruiser.

Wolfpack98's last reminder to everyone that cruisers and battleships are off limits to pirates ...
If not, its stated on your ID, by the term *limited* appearing next to the ships.
And just listen to people when they say its a rule, it is and has been for quite some time.

' Wrote:You *CANNOT* Pirate in anything bigger than a gunboat. Why? Cause it's frankly unfair to just about everyone.
I hear another note about you pirating in a battleship, you'll be owing me $100 million for the first offense. Second offense, it's a 3-day ban. So consider this your warning.
And yes, I'm the senior admin as I own Discovery 24/7 Server.
Diablo, pirating in a liner armed with gunboat weapons and carrying a cruiser shield is tantamount to pretty
much the same thing. Its just exploiting a bug still existing with the liner, which of course is a transport ship
not a cruiser or a heavily overarmed gunboat.
Obviously this still needs addressing, as it seems to be the ship to have now, along with the bomber. Just
because you can, doesn't mean you have to do it ...
And thanks Cay, should have done that myself.

Thats a gunboat though, not a liner shielded as a cruiser, and armed as a gunboat.
The liner should have its transport shield and weapons in place, or an upgrade suitable for its status as a
transport, not a capship.

Of course, though the word 'Gunboat' does not appear in the statistics for the liner. I believe its description
is that of a 'Transport' and should therefore be armed and shielded as such.
Its current use by many as a 'Light Cruiser' is therefore, how shall I put it ... While not actually cheating,
bending the rules to gain an advantage ... Win at all costs, I feel.
