You're also implying that Haste or other capable pvpers in snubs would be sufficiently deterred from following transports by solaris gunboats and mediocre fighters they can probably easily evade.
Any competent pvper can now pvpkill as many transports as they can CD, without putting any effort whatsoever into actually shooting them.
Obviously you never tried to solo the cap 8 cylinders IMG trade convoy. Between TS/TZ cap 8's with turrets that chomped 1/2 of my hull when they fully hit, nevermind that the snac I was using barely dented their armors.
But that is not the point. The point is that the two transports don't pvp die. They just keep the cd'er busy until backup arrives. Then, you can very well bet they just need to huddle and leave while the troll cd'er just gets solarized.
So kids. Pirate in Cruisers. Hire escorts for your transports. Have some pew.
