This is exactly what I was going to say. LF's can already do what you are requesting This will promote teamwork and roleplay among pirates. In other words, the solution for which you are looking already exists.

But yeah. Not one thought about Capital Ships was given when writing this proposal. Though I don't see problem with caps receiving a minor speed buff. Perhaps that would be even better, as they could be deployed a tiny bit faster.

I am not proposing to make snubcrafts general interceptors. I am just proposing to increase their speed so it would promote piracy more. Which in return will warrant more of lawfuls and bunters.
LFs and Freighters are too specialized to be used reguralry. I don't see many rich traders going back to Freighters, so I don't see why should pirates go from Bombers to Light Fighters

Pirates should go from Bombers to Light Fighters so they can catch up with escaping transports?!

So the "solution" is ONLY to buff....buff buff and NEVER nerf, ever? I don't see this as any real different or "better" than the transport cruise speed nerf. If anything, I think the transport nerf would be more effective. You got a problem with nerfing it by 100m/s, fine, but I don't think just buffing fighters by 5m/s is the answer.
Just learn to CD ships before you RP with them.

Everything has its good and bad sides, no? Balance in a nutshell.
The pirate is mad about not being able to destroy the transport within 50k. And later he's happy about being immune to lawfuls.

Because changing trade ship speed means Xoria will have to recalculate profit.
Where as if you increase snubcraft speeds, by a 1.43%, noone is hurt, except for silent traders, that wants to avoid RP intercation.
And I am sorry that I care more about roleplay, than pixel money obtained via piracy. That is like 10M/hour and I get shot by LNS Carriers and Dreadnoughts, while traders earn three times more, with three times less pirate encounters than LNS.

Aha, so my RP should not be longer than say 4 seconds (disruption duration). Good thing they brought back /l1 and /l2.

5kers have no disadvantage.

Except Colossus and Mastadont, with one turret and painfull handling. They are wrong 5Kers.
