Two things I'd love to see:

  • Freighter
  • Bulk Liquid Hauler


Freighter
Basically, I envison the Freighter as a slower version of the current industrials that holds a MASSIVE amount of cargo from point A to point B but at a snail's pace. Let's face it, taking 1.3M trit per run in a Mammoth just isn't cost effective when you need to move 4-5M units a go. I would expect a special skill - Freighter that would allow for a 5% increase in velocity and 5% increase in cargo space per level and require Indy 5, Spaceship Command 5, and Engineering 5 as pre-reqs. Slots and cargo hold, well I'll let you DEV's decide, but in general it should hold at least 1/3 more than your standard indy. To discourage use, velocity should be reduced accordingly. Twisted Evil

Bulk Liquid Hauler. It's seemed silly to me that even though a lot of liquids are getting moved around the galaxy, we never seem to see them carried in any kind of cargo tanker. Why don't we have these in Eve? I envision the bulk liquid hauler able to get a bonus moving any liquid material such as heavy water or ozone (maybe even isotopes, sulfuric acid) for examples. Perhaps allow something like a 10% reduction in cargo volume per level when carrying any kind of liquid(s) AND a 5% per level increase in total volume carried. It should look like a Badger with big spheres strapped to it's back. Skills should be Bulk Liquid Hauler 1, Spaceship Command 5, Indy 5, Engineering 5 and Freighter 3 as secondaries. Basically, they should be much more efficient when compared to a standard indy or freighter at moving any kind of liquids and suck at hauling non-liquid cargo.

Also, put some more fricken need in the game for liquids!!!! All these peeps living in spacebases and yet water, oxygen, food and rocket fuel / oil is more undervalued than cigarettes or liquor. I understand addiction is a difficult thing to kick, but it's kinda hard to boil pasta without any water or fly without fuel!!!
