Is there a particular reason that the Pilgrim Liner has a Cruise Disruptor vs a Countermeasure Slot?
Would it possible to consider switching the Disruptor Slot for a Countermeasure Slot?
Personally I would find countermeasures far more useful. Furthermore there are better pirating cargo transports out there so it really doesn't make sense to me. Additionally out of all the liners the Pilgrim Liner is the only one without a CM slot, and the claim that Liners can have one or the other is void when looking at the Prison Liner with both a CD and CM slot, and the Bretonia Cruise Liner with the same loadout.

And it used to have 3,900 cargo units, but as times have changed I feel that the Liner needs to have its purpose updated to reflect its new status as a mainly Freelance Transport.

As I said before there are better ships out there to do said attacks from. And given that other liners have both the CM and CD slot what prevents the Pilgrim Liner from having the same status?
Like it would be cool though... Cloaking AND transporting 2 ships in it bays...
Yes it would be cool, but you could also use other liners with more hull armor that have both a CD and CM. I really started this thread because generally when I'm intercepted while flying the Liner I'm always far enough away to spin up my cruise drive but not far enough away to be out of CD range, while I understand that there are other 3.6k transports with CM's slots (and CD slots) I'm rather fond of the Pilgrim Liner and I would like to see its serviceability increased.
Not that ol' Finnegan flies his anymore, but I always wondered the same.
They're sold on Junker bases and used, primarily anyway, by Junkers - to smuggle.
Not always, but primarily.
So in all this time no Junker ever EVA'd his arse to the hull to bolt on a limpet CM launcher to help him run?
All eleven Pilgrim guns point back, so this is ideally where any self respecting Slave Liner Jockey wants his enemy anyway, behind him.
Piracy and Junkering is restricted to limited systems, and while fun to pirate in a Pilgrim, It's uncannily difficult.
There are battleships that turn better than these particular (and especially beautiful) ships.
I would think the CM a primary concern of any such pilot, and a CD an afterthought.
