Oh man I hate npcs, get rid of the stupid cd spam (I went through nearly 60 enh cd just to get away from a flock of them that were sitting on a jh) and the pirating (specially when im bringing contraband to or from malta) and every other lane being disrupted at night is getting OLD.
Really OLD
Secondly liners do need a buff, why would anyone (besides rp) take one over a shire? Only thing that comes close is the enterprise and its not usable for contraband I believe.
That Liner thing's one of those little bits that make me go "meh" whenever I see 'em.
Considering the size of them alone you'd think they'd be some mean things to take down, but yeah, they get the Cylon Phailbot award.
Tbh, make 'em SpecReq only, make 'em big beasts of "OH GOD IT DOESN'T WANT TO DIE! HELP ME! CALL A BATTLESTAR!", and be done with it.
But that ain't gon' happen now or is it, so those boats're stuck with being what, oversized Transports?
GGNORE, enjoy getting solo'd by a fighter and butchered by NPC swarms, then blame the lag or sth.
Not constructive at all, but somebody had the great idea to make every Transport/Liner/Anything that can potentially be used for hardcore trading able to fail against a bored and dodgy Dude McFighter with too much time on his hands.
Maybe just ask for some Bretonian Gunboat Secondary Turrets Eppstein, they come with zero drain, 2k worth of damage, and pretty poor hitpoints, but that'd be a short-term solution for you,
albeit it's as likely to happen as is Zeus' appearing behind me to hand him his Magic Stick of Lightningboltery +3 to do mad shocking action.
(They're not sold anywhere and Zeus is busy watching Pirates XXX 3: Dusty Lens' revenge.)
On the note of NPC Warcows losing CDs: Less likely to happen than that above.
I could say "lol fly anotha route nub" but naaay, that'd a) suck and b) be too obvious now and I cba to read anything past the original post anyway so maybe it was there already.
