Elite Industrials?

Give it up, you've given all the industrial roles to the new POS anchorable platforms. The massive CPU that indies currently have is never used. They're not industrial ships, they're CARGO SHIP. If you can admit that, then you can proceed to conclude that the primary function of a cargo ship is to haul cargo. Smuggling must be done through player-trained skills & perhaps modules that could make cargo-bays more difficult to scan. A specialized smuggling ship, as others have pointed out, would be something a true smuggler would never never ever fly. Fast Couriers are a good idea, but we already have those. Just check in the market in game, look under FRIGATES. The ONLY reason I'd ever pay for an elite Cargo Ship would be to get more cargo space. Instajump Bookmarks make the vessel's speed irrellevant. I suppose elite industrials could have a m3 somewhere in between standard cargo ships & freighters, but to be honest, they're all freighters in my book.

I'll be buying whatever holds the most, & if the freighter holds more, is cheaper, & takes less time to train for, then yay for me ;)
