Should transports be allowed to mount capital shop armour upgrades?

[Jack_Henderson]

Let's wait for the development of NPCs and tradelanes and see how this changes the trader-piracy balance and whether adjustments are still necessary.

I have some ideas after having done some testing in Conn on my transport, but changing too many variables messes up the results, so going one at a time makes sense.

Let's wait, I'd say, for the change and then we can still discuss and see what else needs to change. In general, however, I am convinced that not the armor is the problem, but the thrust speed. Cap piracy made this increase in speed happen, and it screwed over the balance. Anyway, we'll see.

Piracy is fine as it is. Unarmored transports, or inexperienced armored ones are easy to crack with a bomber.

If one invests in armor, or sacrifices cargo space for security - they deserve to be harder nuts to crack.

I made around 40 millions of profits while sharing the cut with 1/2 others in just two days, camping only one spot and not being power-pirate ( 2mordie or drop all the cargo ). And yeah, only few transports got away, 2 due to Lane-Down-But-Active bug and 1 due to the fact RP is done while writing. I had no trouble with dodging NPCs while circling around the prey or even taking the fire from prey and NPCs.

So, if anyone is talking about piracy being harder, please, learn how, when and where to do it properly.
