so basically anything bigger than a bomber is unacceptable?

anything bigger than a gunboat. that means destroyers, cruisers, battle cruisers, light cruisers, battleships, dreadnought and any other name used to describe a ship bigger than a gb, cant pirate a trader.

the only instance i see a ship bigger than a gb pirating a trader is when a trader has a gunboat shield mounted on their trader (only possible on liners as far as i know) and like dab mentioned

ah so gunboats are acceptable.

maybe he flys a gunboat. it's the one that looks like the starwars blockade runner and is the size of a fighter. isn't it called a destroyer?

That must be the rouge gunboat my friend.

It really should be a bounty hunter gunboat due to the model, but that would leave the outcast aligned pirates with nothing!

it sure is tiny to be a GB, it wasn't much bigger than my LF.

i see GB's as being bigger than a fighter

Yeah, its about the size of a Spatial, but due to that its about one of the weakest GBs in firepower, and has the second-lowest hull (lowest is the Kusari GB, which is even smaller) of them all. Tip; If you fight a Corsair GB with it, maximize the use of your agility, or your dead.

Quick but semi-related question. I have been using a Prison Liner with my Slavers RP. So any vessel I have encountered carrying valuable heads has been pirated. Am I out of bounds since a liner is physically bigger than most cruisers?

Bigger, but doesn't have the same firepower. It has firepower between a GB and Transport. It has at the biggest, GB equipment, so if it were classified as a capship, it would be of a GB, which are allowed to pirate.

So as far as I know, its allowed.
