Also good changes on the other rules, might have to make some convoys more often now.
Capital ships can now attack transports so long as their ID allows them to. The revised rule 4.7 removes additional transport protections under certain circumstances.
For example, some IDs will have pairings of lines like the below:
- Can attack any ships within their Zone of Influence, except transports.
- Can demand cargo and credits from any ship within their Zone of Influence, and attack them if they do not comply.
This would normally mean that the above ID could only attack transports after a reasonable demand had been issued. Despite this, if the transport engages the revised rule 4.7, the "except transports" part of that first clause stops applying - the transport can then be attacked like a normal combat ship.
