I mean I agree with you but we already have limited stuff like the Mjolnir, and they have authority over local system affairs. If people don't want to join the Police I think it's because the police 'are' nerfed military; it's the same way in real life.
Sheeze; I can't even remember the last time I saw an RFP Mjolnir. The point is that right now the Police ID is a useless nerf (---> very little police activity on the server, other than the LPI), which is a shame and should be corrected.
And of course, if you give the P-Liner (or some upgraded version of it) cruiser weps, shooting transports should be out of the question.
Ever notice how it almost costs as much as one, for zero payoff? Why aren't you getting your buck's worth?
I like the idea of a second type sort of thing. It doesn't have to be overly buffed but as it is, it neither puts up a fight, nor can it run. That's unacceptable.

In the official rfp faction there is only 5 out of 13 members who have the mjolnir. Probably why you don't see it so often.
I like the idea of having the p-line being a police thing only. Give us something that differs from the military. Updraded version as mentioned. A civilian and a police version. Maybe even make it a police guard thing.
Okay this is going above and beyond the original idea. Restricting stuff to specific factions has gone on long enough, and as it is Police guys 'are' nerfed military. And who wants to be stopping smugglers when you could be stopping battleships, right? Well what about the people who would 'like' to stop smugglers instead? Should separate the boys from the men, eh?
But all I'm saying is, if anything, look at this sucker's stats next to the Enterprise liner. Now 'Flip them'. Flip everything except the Enterprise having the larger cargo, and lacking the CD like the prison liner does. Now add 20,000 or so hull to the Prison liner and voila, makes more sense, no major things done. Give the prison liner a better recharge and 11 guns. Have the discrepancy be the cargo space and the trade; more money versus more security. Problem solved.
i support tenacity's suggestion... BUT with a little change
House military/police AND BHG (since they DO capture those prisoners... they need somewere to store them before going to say, sugarland, for claiming the arrest money)
and honestly, just giving it cruiser shield, 500k power core and 2 GB turrets is enough
