Something seems very wrong here.

So a ship the size of a city ( Renzu Liner Infocard ) has to lose cargo space in the name of balance, as a former Naval Engineer, that's BS.

It's not balance at all, as I said, a ship that size wouldn't even notice the additional stuff as it's built to have that equipment as standard issue.

Don't ever bring realism and common sense here, when discussing ship stats/availability. =\

Current trend is that we're moving from it towards balance (at least PvP wise, with more and more factions getting access to Capital Fleets)
