Gunboats
This article has not been verified to be up to date for the latest version of the Discovery mod. The last edit was made on 15.09.2012 (DD/MM/YYYY). You may help by updating it, often by using the code generator.
Gunboat is the designation for the smallest and most agile of capital ships. While none are produced explicitly for civilian use, Kishiro Technologies freely markets the Ahoudori and as a result it is very popular with pirates and other independent pilots.
Gunboats are typically used to kill Fighters and other small craft either solo or in groups, but sometimes as escorts for Capital Ships.
All Gunboats have hard-points for Countermeasures and Cruise Disruptors. None of them have Mine Droppers. Some Gunboats have a Forward Gun hard-point that can mount a ship-specific cannon or torpedo. Gunboats can only use Gunboat Shields, which are only offered in a single class and grade.
Some people maintain a terminological difference between "Gunboat" and "Gunship" (see Gunboats & Gunships), but the Discovery mod makes no distinction between them. The historical usage of this nomenclature is not applicable.
When purchased, these vessels will show up as a "Freighter" on the ship purchase dialog. This is because Freelancer itself was never intended to have these large ships classes available for play, and cannot be practically or safely fixed. The real class is listed on the full infocard.
