In another discussion on the 10 Worlds list, a warship drive has orders
of
magnitude better performance than a freighter's. Freighters don't shoot
at
warships unless they are suicidally depressed. Noone would build a
warship
with a freighter drive because it may look harmless, but would end up
being totally useless.
