transport or liner can not now use the device to jump? that's kinda stupid - Enimorf - 01-27-2015

Discovery 4.88.0
Patch Notes

[General]
- Added DSLauncher, our new Launcher specifically crafted for Discovery. A subforum has been created under the Help & Support section of the forums to provide assistance related to its usage.
- Added Adoxa's zone plugin.
- Fighter NPCs have been toned down. They are now all stuck with a 2.00 fire rate. They also cannot use Mines and Missiles anymore.
- Capitals will be toned down at a later point.
- Preparations for Hyperspace Beacons.
- Mining Machinery icon replaced due to copyright issues. Thanks to whoever thought it was a brilliant idea.
- Corsair Battleship NPCs will no longer use the Osiris and instead use their own tech.
- Client-side mining config updated with revised drop rate modifiers for all factions.
- Lots and lots of various little tweaks.
- Various bugfixes.

[Guns]
- CODENAME weapons now use a unique weapon type that deals 90% damage to Graviton, Molecular and Positron shields.
- DULZIAN, PHOENIX, SOLARIS and Nomad Prototype Gun have seen their energy usage revised.

Nowhere does it say that now liners or transport can't use Jump Drives .. Please Take that ridiculous exchange ..

why? where this reflected the change of use of these devices on these ships? where is the Role Play to decide the overnight that no large transport or Liner can use the devices? if they can support them, and also have the module ready for it. However, the most important is the Role Play where ALL Corporations SIRIUS reached the agreement that these ships used by these corporations Les is more likely not to use devices jumps for your trip .. where is that?

jump trading is bad, if that is what you're on about.

bad? for what reason? Shield is lost when the device is used, Easily can be hacked to reach the destination .. Or in the case of legal factions Easily can stop smugglers .. There is no logical reason for that change.

Jump traders have a smaller chance of encountering and interacting with other players from what I can tell.

It's just an easy way for legal factions did not do their job (prevent smuggling) is a change which gives legal factions the possibility of not carrying out constant patrols over their planets or bases NPC where smugglers can leave their loads .. As I said before, is not sufficient reason for change.

Are you seriously trying to argue that you want jump trading back because you're pissed that you can't smuggle without risks?
