The change to switch the bonus from the Viator and equivalents was great one. But not enough.

With either a vanilla bonus or a module, tier II transport ships should be able to get through bubbles.

Like the T3 anti-bubble bonus.

Please replace the +2 Warp stabilization bonus with the anti bubble bonus that T3 ships have.

Tier II transport ships already have a great defensive bonus. With an anti-bubble system they would be able to stress their defensive bonus in 0.0 to its fullest potential.

So in gatecamps the transport ships would take great damage and depeneding on their defensive resistance setup would allow them to warp away Scott free.





OPTIONAL : Allow it to be the only ship type to be impervious to a Heavy Interdictor. + unlimited warp stabilization

I could support a bubble nullification bonus for DST... however being immune to any targeted warp disruption and especially infini-points is asking for waaaaaaay too much.

How did you Veterans start?

This would actually be a bonus that justifies making a Tech 3 industrial.

I can see DSTs could be made immune to bubbles, +2 warp stab bonus, and/or double the base armor/shield or resistances they currently have. the first two would give people a reason to use transports, but the third would make people actually use them

Don't worry about transports in null, you will lose it anyway so why package your valuables in a valuable ship to go all explodey for the other guy....easier to just put it in the cargobay and then jump to another ship, then trash the transport! See, you can do it without someone else doing it for you! Lol

pretty much it resolves to , if you have enough stuff for a transport ship and its too much for a Blockade runner, why arent you using a carrier?

sad, but DST's are pretty useless

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

not supported, no more bubble immunity needed.
T3 is already too much.

No ship should ever be immune to focused hic points.

He's got a point.

DSTs align like bricks and don't have the tank to survive long enough to get into warp anyway.
