Adv Kujura and Golem to 4900, kthxbye

Kujira is a lot more maneuverable than anything else in the class. It is also a lot less expensive.
I would say it is relatively well balanced.

Honestly, I'd just like it if the cargo capacities of each of the Gull, Albatross, Heron, Crane, and Stork were all proportional to the number of cargo pods they can mount, giving trains a bonus since their fuselage is large enough to justify the addition of extra cargo.
Cargo per pod = 500
Train bonus = 1000
Code:
Ship | pods | cpp | bonus | total
------------------------------------------
Gull - 2 pods x 500 = 1000
Albatross - 4 pods x 500 = 2000
Heron - 4 pods x 500 + 1000 = 3000
Crane - 6 pods x 500 + 1000 = 4000
Stork - 8 pods x 500 + 1000 = 5000The entire point of containerized transport is that it's scalable, linear, and therefore easy to extrapolate and manage. These are the container ships of the Freelancer universe, let's make them standardized.

The entire point of containerized transport is that it's scalable, linear, and therefore easy to extrapolate and manage. These are the container ships of the Freelancer universe, let's make them standardized.
In the past, I proposed almost the same thing. Each pod to be 750 cargo space equivalent, so that takes us to:
Gull - 2 pods x 500 = 1500
Albatross - 4 pods x 500 = 3000
Heron - 4 pods x 500 + 1000 = 3000
Crane - 6 pods x 500 + 1000 = 4500
Stork - 8 pods x 500 + 1000 = 6000
The worst problem with the Gull and Albatross is how utterly useless they are as transports (especially the Gull, which basically has only 200 cargo space more than the Pelican AT, while the latter has insane defensive and offensive weaponry).
Bumping them up to 1500 and 3000 cargo space respectively (and maybe adding some more turrets) would make them a tad more useful, even for starting out).
Now, the Heron vs Albatross (each having 4 pods and equating to 3000 cargo space) is a bit of a dud, so there has to be some kind of difference to set them apart, but that could be solved by maybe tweaking the armor, bots/bats and the loadout a bit.
This is just a personal opinion. Not my department to begin with... up to you people to push for a change.

I did. Durandal already told me it's never going to happen, even after this thread as an informal thing, and then a proper dev request thread.
Can't push for change if the person who has the final say doesn't give a shit.
