From what i know Bustard is supposed to be exception from "no foreign capships in house space".
Yet i keep hearing things like "Bustard is capship - hence not allowed.", "allowed but no shields", "allowed but no weapons", "allowed but only with navy escort". Ets ets ets.
Can smb pls clarify? Also - where can i find these faction rules in writing?

Bustard is classed as a Liner. You can have guns on it as a Freelancer ID.
Different houses have different laws - you DON'T have to follow them - they're not the server rules. The laws are in the communication section, pinned at the top.
Bustard was meant mainly as civilian jumping ship so it is classified as transport/liner by server rules (and thus it can be used for example by Freelancers or IDs which otherwise don´t allow carriers). However that does not apply inRP.
Thus situation is different in houses and depends on their laws which you can find here. As far as I know, you need permission to fly it in house space in Rheinland and Kusari if you don´t want problem with local lawfuls. Liberty allow it freely. I don´t know exactly how/if the ship is regulated in Bretonia and Gallia.
