I'd like to hear a justification for inhibiting a class of ships in this fashion. Yes, yes, Alley, I realize this is not your Decision, but you ARE inside the communication loop.
It seems to me that this doesn't serve any reasonable purpose since most transports are big enough to need the same sort of TS capability as warships. Sensors can go out to 16k (whatever that means), line of sight can spot a drive flare out past that, why would you restrict the screen display like this?
If the idea is "balance" to make piracy easier, I have to say this is so artificial as to break suspension of disbelief.
