rename Slave Liner - Ursus - 01-16-2012 Please rename the Slave Liner just to be the generic Pilgrim Liner. It can't be used for indy slavers anymore, and is most likely to be a general purpose neutral-unlawful trade ship. Calling it a Slave Liner just makes it aggro-on-sight which is unnecessary given the lack of dedicated slavers that can fly it. Specifically: Slaver ID is being eliminated so indy slavers now have to be Freelancer or Pirate, which is limited to 3600 cargo but Slave Liner is 3900 cargo so illegal to use. They will have to move slaves in the Pirate Transport or <strike>Pirate Train</strike> to stay in rules and within RP, which actulaly makes more sense anyway (who would give slaves a set of cabins and berths?). Unlawful factions with cargo limit of 4300 seem like they are the most logical users, since its a good fit between Pirate Transport @ 2900 and Pirate Train @ 4300 (other option here is BWT but that is kind of clean for some of the factions we're talking about). Slaving is not universal for those so calling it a Slave Liner is RP friction for that group. For that kind of use it should just be called the Pilgrim Liner (rather than Slave Liner), with backstory that they have been salvaged from scrapyard and gutted for use as neutral-unlawful cargo haulers Finally, for neutral chars that do want to use it for something, having it called a Slave Liner makes it aggro-on-sight in some places, which is just more of a hassle that makes it hard to use. rename Slave Liner - Kyte_ - 01-16-2012 You have my condolences. I too had to change my ID to avoid a massive nerf. I tried to look on the positive... fine then I can carry other goods and land on lawful bases then. Woot! Makes getting slaves easy... *coughs* Not that I would know anything about that. Take care, *Charlie.The.Unicorn rename Slave Liner - Evan_ - 01-16-2012 Can't you put a CAU8 on it, so it only has 3600 effective cargo? Pretty please? rename Slave Liner - ryoken - 01-16-2012 Pirate train also not usable. it has 4300 cargo. I agree on the name change though. Call it Pilgrim Liner, or even Junker Liner as pretty much only junkers use it now.
