The rules currently state that "any trader ship with a cargo hold of more than 500 units is considered a transport", and less than 500 is a "freighter". However, in 4.85, there are some ships, such as the Kadesh Freighter and the Camara, that are called "freighters" but have more than 500 cargo space. I assume the definitions are being changed?
Also: what ships are formally classified as "liners"? I mean, obviously, any ship with "liner" in its name is a liner, but what of the Yacht, the Geisha? Are they liners? The Shire has more firepower than some liners - is it too a liner?
Where does the Salvager fit into this whole sordid mess?
And are gunboats still classed as "capital ships"?
