I want a tough Miner-Gunboat available in FL Disco for all mining Factions!
The Junkers have the "Salvager" Frigatte/GB, ALG even has an 5k "Golem Heavy Mover" Transport capable of mining. But thouse are strangely capped to mining scrap. Why should the Factions that generate most income in FL not have good, if not best, ships?
Why not force Pirates to Teamplay for a change, instead of making it so very easy for them to solo entire Groups of Miners/Transports in a single Kusari Explorer for example?
The Hegemon fits that role. That ship is beastly when it comes to combat. And miners aren't about combat. If they want defense, then they have to have escorts.
They put guns on trains during WW2, but those trains couldn't take on an army. Same rule applies here. Economic and Industrial equipment is not meant for combat.

I think he means he wants some sort of lawful version of the salvager, but that can mine and salvage.
Also, that's kind of a bad comparison since I doubt he wants this mining vessel to win any wars. Be able to defend itself? Sure, just like that train with guns. Win any wars? Hardly.
Ship submission means that you have ready made ship with all files and submit it to add it to the mod.Idea go in the general Dev forum.
And what Shagohad said. The Heg have good hull stats and a lot of bot and bats.

Thank you, Govedo for clarifying him/her that.:)
Edit:
Shago has a valid point on explaining and showing an example of the real world. A Mining Gunboat? It's the same having a transport that is mining with Defence Turrets. Either way, bombers will tear the ship apart. Tbh - this is a 'senseless', no offence.
