I predict that the Bowhead's first use will not be to transport expensive ships, but to assist in destroying them.
How many fit and rigged Taloses could you fit in one? Or Catalysts?
There is a major hisec choke point between Amarr and Jita without a station, and that system is Niarja. This lack of a station makes large-scale gank ops there more complicated, albeit definitely still possible. Any enterprising suicide ganking group can simply park one loaded up with gank ships at a safe spot and use it as a mobile base of operations. No POS to protect or fuel, the pilot can be in an NPC corp to avoid wardecs, and, unlike a POS, a Bowhead can bounce around between various safes to avoid being tracked down.
How long until the first Bowhead-backed fleet ganks a freighter in Niarja?
(To be absolutely clear, I am not complaining about this at all. I can't wait to hear the first stories.)

About ninety minutes longer than it will take to make one after it's released.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

In our case we can use this for deployment for long distances. For example 90% reduction in the jump pretty much allows for titan networks again. |

Ganking doesn't need a purpose, the gank is its own purpose.
You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I gank.

When they find out that it will still be quite gankable (and a gigantic sexy target to boot) they'll be too busy begging for more hit points to hear you say "I told you so". |

Yeah, well if history has shown us anything it is that logic does not dictate changes but who screams the loudest does. They are just trying to keep it as balanced as possible by screaming from the other side.

All they care about is that we're mainly shooting at each other, instead of at them.

"don't read" implies that they can read, they just choose not to. After meeting the carebears for myself I have developed a competing hypothesis to yours regarding their levels of literacy.
I know I'll be getting myself a tug. But I do not sow, so I'll have to wait a bit before I can get one. I'll get one from a carebear somewhere. |

You have to be able to read to be able to write, and you have to be able to write to be able to shiptoast whine threads all over the forums.
But maybe you're right, and the shiptoasters are the exceptions to the rule.
