I don't update my EFT very often because most of the ships haven't changed--the ones I use haven't changed at all since the last time I updated it. While you have the right idea that regular haulers are out of balance, you have it the wrong way around. Regular haulers should get a 10-15k 'fleet hanger' of sorts that can carry anything. While keeping their current cargo bay. This then gives them the choice of defence or cargo without making it obvious that they have to go cargo to carry anything of any size. They are then inferior to the DST and the specialised haulers (assuming you are carrying the right goods) while still able to haul a reasonable amount if they go defence.
That's the better way around to go, they certainly don't need a nerf, Industrials are weak enough as it stands. |

* Itty V with maximum tank can hold 7,250 m3 of any cargo you care to put into it. * Epithal with maximum tank can hold 68,050 m3 of only planetary commodities.
Don't spend too much time on the highlighted portions, or you might miss the obvious discrepancy right next to them. Oh and Max cargo Epithal can hold 69,710m3 of planetary commodities but it's a small difference.
And you are still going the wrong way. The Max Tank normal industrial should be buffed, not the specialist ones nerfed. If the max tank itty V could hold 25-30k of anything, and the max cargo could hold 50k of anything And the max cargo Epithal could hold 15-20k of anything + 70k of PI
Then there would be no issue.
So lets give ALL industrials at least 5k base cargo, and a specialist hold or a fleet hanger. So they can ALL carry a decent amount when fitted for tank, and can all carry loads when fitted for cargo. Lets actually buff the industrial role in space. It's not like Indy pilots are already nerfed by having no weapons after all. |
