@SMI-Great.Fox - so, your solution is to not only let the Zoners keep their current ships as they are, but ALSO give them a new transport as well?
I don't really see this "gap" in the Zoner shipline that you are imagining, especially considering that in addition to your snub, GB, cruiser, and BS line, and 5ker, you.also have the extensive civilian line open to you as well.
Why should any of the devs want to give Zoners more at this point, when all they do is whine/argue when any other changes get suggested/made for them? I don't think you should even be getting your own bomber (or any other new ships for that matter) unless there is some give somewhere else.
