That's kind of.. hmm strange... Pirate transport who can shoot almost all his transport turrets forward with CAP6 (just for saving money) is far more dangerous than some of Gunboat.. I dont see a sense why it cannot be take down by cruiser or battleship...
I think rule 6.7 should be expanded:
6.7 Attacking freighters, transports, liners or demanding cargo from the same is not allowed for cruisers and battleships.
Exceptions to this rule are:
a) Official faction tagged house ships in their respective house space ONLY.
b) Terrorist, Nomad, Wild, Phantom ID players;
c) LSF or Liberty Navy Guard vessels operating within Zone 21 or Alaska;
d) Order Guard vessels operating within Alaska or Omicron Minor;
e) Blood Dragon Guard vessels within Chugoku;
f) Corsair Guard vessels within Omicron Gamma;
g) Outcast Guard vessels within Omicron Alpha;
h) Guard ID players in their -own- associated Guard system.
i) Special OP players within the guidelines of their approved RP. j)Lawful faction vessel preventing act of Piracy
(not only official faction in zoi)
