Hey everyone, I just read about a player with a Battlecruiser being sanctioned for using nanobots as that is forbidden. I was wondering which ships are not allowed to carry nanobots? I recently purchased a Liberty Navy Archer Cruiser and was wondering if I can equip it with shield batteries and Nanobots, etc.
Is there any particular reason why Battlecruisers and Battleships aren’t allowed Nanobots from a lore standpoint or is it a rule just because?
Any other “forbidden equipment” on capital ships I should be aware of?
Battlecruisers and battleships/carriers only, it is not that they are not allowed but they are unable to. In some cases, people still have them on the ship, which is against the rules.
Thank you all for clarifying this, so hypothetically I own a BattleCruiser, shoot down an enemy player that had Nanobots in their cargo hold and tractor beam them in. Is that considered breaking the rules? I guess you should just jettison them if you pick them up accidentally?
This is good info to know! Thank you for your responses.

You won't even tractor them up. The game prevents it.
Perfect, the reason I ask is I was strongly considering using the credits I’ve saved up to purchase a Battlecruiser and saw another player got sanctioned for having Nanobots, this was a rule I was unaware of until today. Thank you all for your quick and informative replies, it is much appreciated.
