Interesting.
You should keep an eye on a lot of those merc and pirate groups who've weathered the non existent storm very nicely.
But then I suppose I wouldn't know how they do it... As performing such a feat would require a measure of competence.
:lol:
They could still fly their base line ship. Try again.

Does that mean the Liners goign to also be restricted to only able to buy a single commodity at a single location and only sell at a single location as well .... I meant if the changes are anything like the 'improved' mining mod .

I am sensing something in the force.

Same as the rest of the tech chart dude. Don't listen to n00bl3t when you need facts XD. Especially when he's trying to push an agenda:lol:

I didn't realize that Zoners could only fly Lux Liners.... Good lord we did screw up. :$
Oh wait LOL.

Dusty you totaly miss the point in this case.... ZAS =/= the rest of the Zoners.

Then they choose a very poor name and ID it would seem.
But, I apologize, I thought that the Zoner/Zoner Guard ID bearing Zoners against Slavery were associated in some fashion with the Zoners.
Now that we've cleared that perhaps to the topic at hand.

Hardly, considering at the time they started they COULD use the ship freely.
Of course at the time they started, the overnite time slot in the NY system consisted of joint outcast/corsair armadas hunting down any and all 'law dogs' they could find, and that being treated as the height of RP by the staff.... so go figure.

Well, speaking as one who's flown different liners since 4.83, Liners and their cargo need some love.
I'm wholly in favor of taking the liner restriction out of IDs, instead going with the restrictions on cargo space and treating them like transports. BUT I would also like to see liners restricted to hauling no more than 50 units of non-human cargo. 50 is enough units to haul RP commodities, but I do not want to see every jackass flying around with Engine Components in their liners.
Liners aren't "tough shells of ships", they're purpose-built people-movers (except the Pilgrim, which should be reclassified as a transport, but that's another story). They should NOT be allowed to haul whatever they like, regardless of individual RP. Yes, N00blet, I'm calling for a restriction on "RP" by a rule. There are enough transports about that some transport pilot doesn't need a "stripped out" luxury liner to haul it's goods, there's no justifiable reason other than you want big cargo and big guns.
Also, I wouldn't even bother with putting them on the tech chart. Corporations are the only ones allowed to really fly anything above 5k, so keep that and make all Liner's cargo above 3800 and only those with corporate IDs can fly them anyway. That may mean that a Kruger can be flying a liner, by why would they when Liners are restricted to < 50 non-human cargo?
What this would entail, however, is a better system of passenger service than what we currently have. Right now in my Royal Liner, my route takes about 1.5 hrs for about 12 million profit. That's ludicrously low and a big reason PanGal and others aren't around as much. Trade factions (and I posit that OSC is such) need trade routes.
$.02
edit: Yup, this may mean that the ZAS can't fly their liners w/o an SRP, which they already have, and can knock themselves out with.
Also, HFM, we get it, you don't like the way things are run around here. Get a new schtick, this one's old. Please?

So the Zoners against Slavery were Zoners because they could use the Liner? Or because they were Zoners first and formost?
How very confusing, the merging of RP backdrop with desired gameplay outcomes.
