A little word on gunboats. There are three in the new version, The Bretonian, the Kusari and the Rheinland gunboats. They are just shy of 8 million each. For the money you get a fully kitted out gunboat with shields and guns, only extras you need to add are a torp launcher, bats and bots and better scanners and tractor beams. These are all upgradeable. The weapons cannont be mounted on other ships, i've made sure of that lol.
They all have a cargo capacity of 1000 and here's the important thing, they can only dock at mooring fixtures at planets. These are the docking points above a docking ring and only planets have them. Be warned, not all planets have these but all the ones in the major systems do.
These cannot cloak so don't bother asking for that. The gunboat weapons are also interchangeable with other gunboats but not any other class of ship.

Yes they can and will fit through jumpgates. As mentioned, they only dock at major planets, no bases

Sweet nice feature makes trading more realistic. Ok so only planet to planet trading ^^ unless a fellow mate with a pachy dock at bases and fill up the gunboat for ya ^^ that will make it more a teamwork effort. Sweet ^^

Coding wise yes, it's easy to do. Modwise, no. If i did that it would really screw up the balance of the mod as i see it. If you find a good trade run at a planet you can't dock at, get a friend to shuttle it up to you. Should encourage a bit of teamwork
