Ive none some people use capship armor on there container transports, i don't for the reason it takes up cargo space and i like to make as much money on each run as possible.
On using other turrets i do on one of my container transports, 4 tizona turrets and rest salamancer, can pack a punch if used right thats for sure.
I no allot of other people use a similar setup aswell so i don't think its against the rules.
' Wrote:Having read lots of rules and understood most of them, one i'm not too sure about is the one regarding mounting equipment that exeeds ship specs.
If they exceed the specs wouldn't they just not work?
Basically I have above said ship and was wondering if I could mount other turrets, ones that are NOT transport turrets?
And may be some capship armour?

You're fine, that rule refers to hacking stronger equipment than a ship has hardpoints for. The CT is made to abuse lvl 5 turrets.

I'd be happy to see transports restricted to transport turrets only. With a bit of an upgrade to transport turrets of course.
"To gain a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence;
to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence."
I'm completely with Morrigan on this one. Only people that use Transport Turrets are: people who feel it's just not RP to load a big transport with fighter turrets; and people who just don't know they can. I'd like to see that change.
For one thing, the only ships big enough to mount transport turrets have huge powerplants. So why do the things have to be "energy efficient"? I'd like to see them be more powerful (or maybe just faster-firing to suit their anti-fighter purpose) and use more energy. Eesh, I have 10 lvl 4 transport turrets on my mining ship and the energy bar NEVER budges.
Perhaps you guys should move to the Idea or balance thread...
This was a simple rule question.

Because rules questions never hurt from getting some RP perspective laid on them. Player A wants to know what is legal when he should also consider what is RP vs cheesy.

Ah, I suppose...
Personally, I think a transport captain in the omicrons or omegas would mount any weapon he could get his hands on.

Yikes... I think it should be Transport only with a variety of Transport turrets available. If I were a meta-gamer I'd simply mount the super cheezy martian turrets on the Cargo Trans. Talk about OORP!, but it's possible... and I think it shouldn't be.
