Why most traders feel sad

[dodike]

Forgive my ignoreance, but exactly how big is a Gunboat compared to a Stork, or a Shire or a Mamoth (i.e. Large Transports)?

Yes they have small cargo holds, yes I see your point, they have more room for bigger power cores, batteries etc.

But (and I think you'€™ve already said this) If we can fit CAU8 to a transport to '€œprotect it'€ why can'€™t we fit '€œHigh capacity Power core'€ so supe'€™ up the weapons? The Democritus or whatever it'€™s called, can mount a GB gun, so why can'€™t a Large Transport at the expense of 500 cargo units?

Same reason why people don't mount an armor upgrade for expense of 20 million credits and 20 cargo space.

Money.
