Ok here is my idea. In basic this is a capital hauler for compressed ore or ships to a mining op.
First this ships main idea is to move goods from your Rorqual/POS back to highsec. Cheaper then a jump freighter, faster then a Rorqual but it has some limits. First what it can do.
- It will have a jump range of 8 ly base
- It can hold 1.175 million M3 of ships in its ship array. (limited to industrials including Orcas)
- It has about 800 m3 of normal cargo space
- It has 10,000 m3 of corporate cargo space
- It has 500,000 m3 of Compressed ore hold
- It can use normal drones
- Its the only ship that can move an Orca
- It can use eve Gates
- It can be deployed into a miniature and Temporary POS
OK so what I have here is a sort of jump freighter for mining. It will move lots of compressed ore a massive distance. With a base jump range of 8 ly it will be the longest jump range of all capital ships. This will allow the pilot to move further into and out of Nill without getting jumped himself. Another use is, moving an Orca. It has a ship bay large enough to hold 1 Orca with a little room left over. 150,000 m3 left over, exactly enough for 1 mackinaw or 1 skiff but not a hulk.
The compressed ore hold is exactly as you would think. It holds compressed ore only for this reason it can move half a million compressed ore. This will allow it to be useful in nillsec as well as in W space.
OK last one that it will be useful for. The first mobile POS. We make a new siege mod that allows the ship to deploy into a temporary POS. This will cause the Carrier to burn Isotopes and also Strontium but it will put up a POS shield and will also allow some items to be hung and onlined for use. The ship can be deployed anywhere as long as there is nothing within 2,000 km of the ship.
What can be put online in this POS bubble?
- Shield Hardeners (Make that bubble harder to pop)
- Corporate Hangers
- Ship Maintenance Arrays
Ok so what can't it do?
- Move while deployed
- Stealth while deployed
- Compress ore
- Give bonuses to the fleet
- Move any ships that are not movable by a Rorqual other then the Orca
So I think that about covers it but I'll edit this if I think of anything new.
So flame on and enjoy my idea.

rather just have a ship moveing ship that can carry BS's (assembled and rigged) through empire space as well as low/null sec with a jump drive

So write up a post with what all you want in it. Include full details and try to format the post so people can read it. Give it a name and see what people think about your idea.
PS I don't care to move ships in empire so I find your idea unneeded by me, not to say its a bad idea I just don't have a use for it.

Well, for the empire part freighters can already do this. How about a JF with zero cargo bay, large fuel bay, and 5m m^3 SMA? Should be enough for about 10 assembled BS. --- 34.4:1 mineral compression |

as far as i know you cant put assembled ships into a freighters cargo bay.

You can put them in a courier contract then ship that as I remember. Could no longer be true, been a while since I did it though as it's a lame workaround and doesn't allow you to move all that many ships. --------------------------- absit iniuria verbis |

Correct on both counts - some battleships are so large when assembled that a freighter can only move one at a time. On the other hand, a freighter can move up to 19 packaged BS. --- 34.4:1 mineral compression |

I vote for a 200,000 m3 industrial that can scoop cans from space. 2 highs, 2 mids, 2 lows.

Industrial carrier, shouldn't it actually have a compliment of industrial mining drones? Just saying, there are heavy drones, then fighters and bombers. Why not add really great mining drones for those 0.0 space pilots.
Not just a larger orca, which can hold a smaller orca.

Nice idea, but I like the 5 million m3 SMA jump freighter better.

Remove the ability to use stargates and ban it from high sec, and i'd be ok with it

okay, well... Are there more options than what are being looked at?
There are carriers and then there are super carriers. Could there be a mining drone variant along with the outlay provided by Lucy Furr?

Sorry to the op, but I would second Tigerclaws idea. Had the idea myself as an escort carrier. out of respect to the op I won't go into details but if anyone is interested I could do a write up.
As for your industrial carrier, think being able to use gates for something so big is a bit much. Big jump range too. Other than that I would be happy with it.

No ship is allowed to have a single cargo space higher then 999,999.99m3 because the base of a capital ship is 1,000,000m3.
