Increasing snubcraft cruise speed to 355

Bar fleeing, a bomber vs a transport, the bomber will win 95% of the time.

And a fighter will win versus a bomber 95% of the time, bar fleeing. Does that mean bombers need a buff/fighters need a nerf?

The issue is not that the transport can't outright win versus a bomber, the issue is that the transport could easily run 20-30, hell possibly 35K on thruster to the nearest base. And mind you given the layout of most systems 20K is a pretty average distance to the nearest base in most situations (if you're lawful). This is the reason you barely see pirates anymore and instead it's outcast fleets in New York. People can't be bothered to pirate so they just pew.

If you can't down a transport in a bomber in 20k on thruster you don't deserve to get the transport. Mind you I have been the pirate in this same situation once or twice, losing the transport after a long chase. My response, giving congrats to the transport pilot for being good.
