Hey guys, i was just wondering.

The pirate train, that should be a transport for pirating and smuggling goods have a 4300cargospace, 7 guns and very poor agility.

The newest fight transport have 10 to 12 guns, better armor, a lightly better handling and the same cargo.


I thing this should be balanced devs :sleep:

Pirate transport is for pirating and smuggling, but train is only for smuggling.
Also, what is the name of that armoured transport? Or you mean Battletransport (Bison, Shire, Akegata?).

By the way - House corporations are more rich than pirate organisations, thus they are using better technologies.

Just look in the name "pirate TRAIN" no trains have alot of guns. They are just haulers. The pirate trans is the big nasty for firepower. Match the pirate train to any other train and you will see they have pretty much same stats. And i do not mean the adv trains.

If you would look at criminal IDs, you would see that battletransports can be used by most house pirates, which indeed makes it unbalanced compared to PTrain.

LR, Xenos and LH can use Bison instead of PTrain. Bison has more firepower.

All Rheinland, except for RH, has cargo limit up to 4300, which means they can use Uruz, which has more powercore.

etc. etc.

PTrain lost it's purpose.

Battle trans have no CDs or CMs. Pirate tran has both. If you get nailed by a battletrans with no CDs? Well you suck.

We are talking about PTrain here, which has neither CD, nor CM.

Yeah a train, not a battle transport. There is no pirate battle transport. Only Military build them. The train is a hauler. It will not get better handling/armour/guns as it is not meant to fight, or pirate. Just smuggle.
What you want is an entirely new ship for pirates. A pirate Battle trans. Which again will just be a hauler/smuggler, as no Battle trans get CDs/CMs. If you want a pirate Battle trans. Design it, and submit it for game. The pirate train will remain a train un-molested.

Yes, i talk about the battletransport. A pirate transport ahip should be like them, and not less powerfull.
And why the trains should be only for smuggling ? I'd choose instead a civilian train that have more cargo and the same firepower.
If you talk about liberty rouges/mollyes okay, but outcats ? corsaris ? They have battleship, why not a cargo with 12 guns ?

OHH GREAT! A train with 7 guns, what a tremendous powerful thing ! The civilian train have 6 turrets and 800 more cargo, and the pachy have the same turret, but more cargo. These arent the same stats.


I'd choose to fly a bison instead of a pirate train, because a lot of criminals id permit it, he have same cargo, more armorur and more firepower. They are just useless now.


A good thing can be boost the pirate train to 4800-5000 cargohold, and boost the pirate transport with 10 guns with a decent armour.

Yes, a train should be a train, and a train should have the cargo of a train, not a cargo of a transport.
