Trading and the war

Flying an elephant or ryu is quite likely their first time steering a capital ship...

Doubtful. An M6 or an M7 is the most likely, IMO. There's simply no reason to fly a TL when the AI can do it just fine. The only times you'd want to even use a TL is to deliver stations, since it's far too fragile to be used as a personal/combat ship. Maybe you like flying a TL. I'd bet the vast majority of players don't.

Hi,

there are two reasons to fly a TL in X3AP.

1) If you need to buy a station in the Omicron Lyrae shipyard.

2) When you jump into an Unfocussed Sector to collect the gate.

In all other instances everything else id to prefer but a TL.
