This weeks hypothetical scenario

[Fletcher]

I expect extreme viewpoints from both sides but let us attempt a friendly and fire-less debate and look into a scenario.

In the next 4.86 (hypothetically remember, come on kids). Gunboats are no longer able to pirate from traders. Only snub craft and other cargo vessels can. Meaning, for cargo piracy, pirates need to team up for large cargo rewards (more RP-logical in my mind).

I can see there being a lot more traders and more bombers, but maybe, just maybe there will be more escorts about since fighters can't really take on gunboats. Although a good escort wouldn't need to.

So, what do you think about this hypothetical scenario. Remember, its not a suggestion.

I would see alot of Gunboats getting sanctioned.

But yeah, more bombers for sure, and less use of Gunboats overall.

Some traders have transports that are as or more powerful than gunboats.

massive complaining then all of the above would happen.

But then it starts a domino effect which im sure most of you will see what it will include..

The highest trader power generator is about 90k output. The lowest Gunboat one is about 400k.

Its very uncommon a trader would be able to solo another gunboat.

Wanna bet!

Ask others about this or try it yourself.

We'd see an even bigger PTrans swarm.

PTrans and the Bretonia Shire are the most powerful If I remember...

A trader has a very low chance of winning against a gunboat.

They have a far higher chance against a Bomber...

Well if a gunboat is not careful he will end up dying from the constant fire of the transport or the many shield batteries and nanobots they cary.

if you want to kidding pirates trade with a repair ship:D

transport cannot kill anything if both players have nearly the same skill...

the only gunboat killing "transports" are liners if the pilot is skilled with them and he has a good CAU
