I don't think cruiser shields on a Liner is appropriate, it has near battleship power supply, cruiser manuverability and BEYOND cruiser speed with thrusters.. if we *are* allowed to use the cruiser shields then say so (Admins) and I will be more than happy to pull my cruiser shield from storage!
No no no no! No cruiser shields on any Liners, pls!
People, do they have sarcasm on your planets? They have it on mine! Why do you think I asked nearly the price of a Liner for the shield? (The Liner costs some 12.3mil if I'm not wrong)

Asimov The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
i agree with not using overpowered sheiilds on a liner (i dont have a liner) but i might just point out that a battleship is classed by the game as a freighter too :P :P
lol just a point plz dont flame me.

Agreed.
My liners loadout is
6x Solaris Turret (Infocard reads its designed for both heavy fighters *AND* capital ships, which would include large freighters, and luxury/prison liners)
5x Cruiser Missile Turret
Even with that loadout with the regular 120k shield the liner is, extremely weak, which is where it should be.
Wow.. Another argument coming from my small question..
Also, about those "Battleships are classed as freighters" bit. Well they have no choice. Freelancer only has 4 types of ships to choose from. Light Fighter, Heavy Fighter, Very Heavy Fighter, and Freighter. So we HAD to use the freighter designation.
I think i saw this once. i experianced first hand what its like to actually pilot a bs.
I put it in cruise towards the sun (70k away) and i turned right and i was still going into the sun. It was my first unitentional sundive and it was classed as a "capital ship". Mabey Igiss could add and extra class or modify the existing Cap ship class (if thats even possible) but hey, this is for another topic.
Quote:We've had this arguement before guys
yes, yes i think we have. lol
i think we are all agreed on not to swap sheilds etc
xcept the noobs who dont even know about this forum (but then again, they cant afford to buy a cap ship then outrig it with a battleship sheild, can they?)
