Edited by: Korerin Mayul on 12/02/2009 14:57:19 reason being that the 'jump drive' game mechanic is a massive skill investment ship wise; the jump drive operation skill happens months before any of the jump capital ships are available.
the goal for a jump freighter is frequently to transfer stuff securley and safely rather then quickley - it is, frequently the nearley massless items (bpos skillbooks etc..) that need the jump.
also - it would be SUPERSWEET (tm) if we could jump non-combatent ships into empire.

if you don't want to use the jump freighter, you can always use a black ops to jump a blockade runner...

id still rather see more people using the jump mechanic insteed of using two expensive ships (black ops bs's are INSANE) to do a quick job.

The massive skill investment is there for a reason. Logistics is meant to be work and commitment.
If you want to transfer cargo securely, why don't you use a Blockade Runner? I'd say BRs are almost safer than a jump drive capable freighter or hauler, because they don't draw attention.

jump haulers would be cool but they would need to have much smaller cargo spaces than transport ships to balance out the obvious advantage it would have over transport ships otherwise u would end up killing off a whole ship class.

blockade runners are covops with over 4k m3 cargo holds.. you can get just about anywhere in eve with it with skill and a bit of luck. not really a necessity to have a jump capable hauler for those smaller cargo runs.

not to mention that tactical use of a single black ops covert jump portal in conjunction with one covert cyno field can drop half a dozen of them into a system as far as 4.5ly away with nary a whisper.
the infrastructure is there.
if you really need it, the cost will be well worth it. if you cannot justify the cost, you dont need it, and just want a new toy.

you, your corp and your allience are mostly coorect.
the only ship that can jumpt a covret cyno is the black ops.
however, the black ops also has the covert protal. three kinds of ships can go through the covert portal if i remember correctly:
black ops themselves blockade runners covert ops
however, blockade runners and covert ops cannot jump to the covert cyno of themselves.

and stealth bombers also can be bridged thru black ops bridge. the 4.5 ly range sucks tho.

I still think that ccp should release a t2 rookie ship that can jump itself, no cyno just jump. |

Yeah, lets make a ship that can jump itself from Delve to Jita in 10 minutes all by itself!
...
Actually, that isn't such a bad idea. Carebears would probably go to lowsec for the first time in their life if it was restricted to lowsec. --------------- Opinions? Yes they belong to me, not my corp! |
