Adv. Train to 5000 cargo - Saronsen - 10-23-2019
hi its ya boy
With the advent of /stuck on a trade lane just sucking you in immediately, regardless of ship size and shape, it's become a breeze to take the lane with some of the long-time impossible to fix capitals and transports. Some ships were just a breeze to take through lanes always (smaller and usually vanilla), and unless I'm mistaken, this was one of the reasons for nerfing the advanced train to 4800 cargo. Now that all ships are more or less equally capable of taking the lanes, this isn't an issue anymore.
With some 40,000 less base hull than other 5k transports, somewhere near the same as a Whale, while lacking the Countermeasure a Whale was, the Adv train is still a plenty vulnerable target, and now doesn't have the same 'massive' speed advantage on lanes it used to.
Which means now's a good a time as ever to bring it back to it's full cargo glory.
Probably.

+1, just give all those transports that are physically bigger than the Storck more than 5k to compensate that.

Sure.
I mean, it's cancer to fly, but you make a very valid argument.

never really understood why they nerfed in the first place

In addition to giving the Stork its 5k back, devs should also tune the turn, strafe, and center of mass of ships like the Mastodon so they dont get stuck in lanes as much. The stork docks with tradelanes better than a Mastodon, but that means devs need to fix the mast, not nerf the stork.

Yes, but as mentioned already - increase the cargo capacity of house trains/supertransports to 6000 or even more.
Also, while we're at it. Increase Kujira's cargo hold to 5000 as well.
And fix their trade lane docking capabilities. That is a rather minor issue for me, but a lot of people complain about that.

We need to go higher.
RE: Adv. Train to 5000 cargo - Saronsen - 10-23-2019
why make supertransports even better? they have a massive hull advantage over the train, and even a 2.5x makes them surprisingly tanky
this is an adv train thread >: (

People seem to be forgetting that the stork was nerfed in capacity because the extra cargo pods went up in linear volume increases in every other train but the stork.
From a pirate's perspective, the bigger the cargo, the more pirates can demand without being jerks, which will encourage more people to be pirates, and therefore encourage more traders to hire escorts/pay mercenaries/freelancers because the marginal difference will increase, and create a tonne of activity and player retention, so I'm all for a cargo buff, but that's offtopic.

Stat bloat, stat bloat, stat bloat... I don't know why folks still think that's a solution to anything after all this time. What is the point of the Advanced Train? Other than that "it exists." Riddle me that.
