Quote:Freighters and jump freighters have been upgraded with a jettison tube and can Quote:freely jettison, scoop and move items between containers. They are still not able to load or scoop assembled containers into their cargo hold, except freight containers.
Does this mean freighters are now usable as mining support to carry cargo?
If so....gudamn |

I really need someone to hash this out with me, cause from what it looks like freighters will be able to pick up jettisoned loot.
At least that's what the quote seems to say.
If this is the case, the orca will become nothing more than a boost ship sitting there for no reason. |

??????
If you're talking about orca tractor bonus then I'm sure you're not a fleet miner.
The vast majority of fleets mine directly into the fleet hangar of the orca so as not to leave anything laying around to get flipped or to slow you down in gtfo.
So, if freighters are able to pick from jet cans, then they're essentially able to do exactly what many orca fleets do. Not to mention, with ice mining you never have to move. With a jump freighter you could go straight from high sec to a null/low sec pos with both minerals for production, and ice for fuel... |

jumping out with jf directly with ice / ore is a terrible waste of jump fuel btw. going to check out mid space orca to freighter tonight. |
