1. It means no pirating in capships bigger than gunboat class. It might or might not say that, I'm not sure without it right here to read.
1.1 Above answers.
1.2 It can be allowed to pirate with I guess, but a pirate in a Luxury Liner wouldn't follow RP, as a Liner is a lawful trader ship. You would have to have some kind of Role Play describing how you have it and why.
2 Above answers
2.1 Above
2.2 I don't see where it says you can't pirate IN a liner, but a pirate using either liner wouldn't exactly be RP, above answers the rest.
About the terrorists:
ANYONE can shoot someone with a terrorist ID. Using any ship. Heck, you could be in a train and attack them (not advised) up to a battleship. (biggest ship)
Back at Dab's point, essentially, a Liner is "bigger" than a gunboat since it can mount crusier shields, and has more firepower than a gunboat, excluding the forward gun, which is clumsy and hard to aim.
Soycoco, you could probably get around this loophole, but I think that all it would result in is people flaming you about pirating them using a Liner...Personally, I find using a GB to pirate distasteful as well...You cannot seriously expect a train to hold its own against a gunboat...unless the gunboat captain does not know how to operate a cruise disruptor, or does not have one(rare for pirate), it is a win-win situation.

The liner is more maneuverable than a cruiser, and just as heavily armed with 11 guns that can sport at least 5 Cerberus GB turrets, and other GB turrets at the same time. It has immense energy cap and lots of turrets, making the cruiser shield too good for its agility/firepower.

Just a side note: not all the gunboats have a CD hardpoint.

Thank you your honours for your replies and please listen to my story which will surely encourage your yearns of fight
One of my characters got some years ago a Luxury Liner on Sigma19 with the excuse of a holiday trip on one of the known Liners that usually sails over there. The initial plan consisted on a big robbery me and my crew had been planning for some months. But we were betrayed and the initial plan suddenly turned into a more ambitious one.
People on this Liner were not as rich as we were informed by known Corsairs We had paid enough for the information but it seams like the greed of some smart pirates went to far and they will have to pay. My crew was furious and mutiny was almost a reality.
The situation demanded higher expectations for my crew and I had to make a decision as our old and small vessel was not going to able to provide the treasures they were going to demand to recover their wealth. The guests and crew of the Liner had to be abandoned nearby the Gas Miner Ogashawa to give them a chance of survival and a message was sent to the Luxury Liner Hawaii.
We are now in possession of a lawful ship to pirate with and are equipping it properly and we know we will be hunted and chased, but this is the way life has always been like and we will defend our lives with courage and bravery.
We dare the Naval Forces, the Police and all established forces to protect their traders if they can and we dare the traders to convoy and hire escorts as they will surely need it.
To all Sirious Sector Pirates: Weight anchors and sail to the battle!
When we mean an RP reason, we mean you need generally more than one post saying you stole the thing.. Thats the generic excuse everyone uses to claim how they got an out-of-RP ship. We stole it so ha.
Doesn't take much effort and is quite a lowsy job. I made Kusari ships generally unacceptable for AW without reason or RP story for it. I got myself a Kusari destroyer. I put it in a RP story thread someone else made to provide its birth. I posted at least 15 posts in that thread concerning the ship and what it was doing in the battle for the Jensei Akki (Mayday in Tau-31 thread).
