Class 2 ships won't get attacked due to the penalties. Attacking
a c2 with a c5/c6 just gets you in trouble more than pirate
points. I have a c5 (for the cargo holds, navi and tele) and
that is like a gleaming treasure to a packrat.

Aha, so you DONT need to be a gleaming target for pirates just to use
ships...you could get away with a class2 ship...but since you want all the
suffeli of the bigger one, you also feel the need to whine about the downside
too?
Ffs that's the whole point of having a ship. I don't mind paying the
few k for a safe passage with the tradelane ferries. The reason I
got the ship in the first place are the cargo holds. For moving
minerals from continent to continent.
That's why I wanted a non-combatant merchant-ship. class2 does not
hold any cargo. Get the idea?

class2 can have cargo hold too...so what else?

That holds the same amount of stuff as a 3door 1.1l fiat panda.

Well, a class2 can have 1 hold, a class5 can have 4. A class2 ship costs
~800-900k or so to build+staff...you could buy 5 of those for less than the
cost of a single class5. Then have them sail continent to continent as a
group...and if a pirate does attack, at worst they just get one of the ships,
and the others go free...
