I'd expect that pirate vessels like those two wouldn't be so firmly "economical" as "survivable". Though that is a good point. You really can't apply real life examples to Freelancer.
why not give outcasts even more overpowerd weaps than the admin weaps, after all cardamine makes us lots smarter n stuff. and everyone seems to pull toghetter to gank us anyways (today was an IMG, CR, EDGE, Corsair combo (sun))
just saying: what your asking for is an overpowerd miner that doesnt fits into RP
A Psalm out of the outcast history books.
The dons are our shepherds; I shall not want. They make us live with a cause; They lead us trough the still vasts of space. They restore our souls; They lead us in the paths of righteousness For The Orange Dream. Yai, though we fly through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil; For the Spirits are with us; Your leadership and Your cardamine, they comfort us. You prepare a safe home for us in the presence of our enemies; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us All the days of our life; And we will dwell in the house of the outcasts Forever

Well i disagree, to clarify that aswell.
Hegemon is conciderably larger, nomatter it even has 650 cargo less than a Pirate Transport and it is much slower aswell, so it is hardly a match (as you should know well).
You all just want to pirate so very easy and you can.
It is out of balance, clearly.
So i want a Mining Gunboat, more agile than an Salvager with less cargo and more hardpoints.
You want to pirate you have to catch one alone in a quiet spot with 2 of yours. Thats more like Pirate RP should be.
Since you dont want to see the points of the participants in the discussion and you want stuff I urge you to model the ship submit it and wait to be approved, as it seems your point of view is the only right one.
And no you haven't met the Avalanche's False.Miner Hegg, the fact is that the most of the Hegg users dont know how to use this ship in pvp,excluding the skill factor Hegg is no way worst then P- transp- it have the same turrets count, much more hull and bat/bots, have good stafe, P transp on the other side packs more energy and smaller size,it is just matter of different tactics for different kind of ships, nothing more or less.
May be the p-transp is not as harder to learn to fly like Hegg who knows.

You want to mine so you have to use several escorts and haulers, impossible to be cached by several pirates even in noisy spots. Thats more like Miner RP should be.

Seems to me your are or play blind on one side and i guess i know why:
Your just not skilled enough or not willing to pirate without your huge "technical advantage"?
The pirate trans and the slave liner are not designed by civilians for civilians. They were re-purposed by pirates and slavers. Or just designed by them. They're meant to be brutal and well-armed.

That. Pirate transport is built... well to pirate!
Moreover, any lone bomber/KuEx will take on a Ptrans too, Ptrans is simply better when it comes to Transport vs Transport fight. Also there was Avalanche with his The.False.Miner - a cau8 hegemon that made 500m (pretty sure it was 500m, if someone else remembers correct me please) in 3 days.
So quit the whining, plus if you want so much, make a cau8 lux liner and fill it using a mafic with full debs + SNAC (well not fulls debs cuz one is fighter mining turret but nvm) I dare the KuEx that will do you trouble.

I'd like to know what your problem is to flame people you don't know ?
If you can't keep it civil don't post, you'll save everyone else time. I don't participate to this forum to see such things.
Join an official faction? Get a teammate to protect your miner? You talk about 'making pirates teamplay', when the vessel you suggest would be completely against teamwork.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
