yes that's a good new, 100k m3 would not have made them very useful

Sounds like they should attach a warning/disclaimer to these things.

I seem to have no newsletter - I feel so left out 
Did I here somewhere that they are changing the size of ships when repackaged also?
Haulers may drop ships now? :D Tho I guess you wouldnt be able to assemble them in space tho :/

Shuttle: 500m3
Frigate: 2,500m3
Mining Barge: 3,750m3
Destroyer: 5,000m3
Cruiser: 10,000m3
Battlecruiser: 15,000m3
Industrial: 20,000m3
Battleship: 50,000m3
It does however raise an important question:
You kill a freighter carrying a few BS's, and the BS's drop in a can (or cans). Now, how do you pick them up? Freighters can't use cans in space, and no indies can get 50,000m3 of cargo.

I tried this on the test server, the unassembled ship gets magically assembled and dumped out into space as a derelict on the industrials destruction, assuming it doesnt blow up. So anyone in a pod could simply come along and jump into it

perhaps they will launched assembled, a bit like when you put unassmbled drones in your drone bay they launch ok, this could be fairly useful ins oem situations I guess

Yeah, I've killed several indies carrying shuttles, and they drop as derelict ships. One time the indypilot even boarden his dropped shuttle and escaped

Hrmm.
Guess they'll just assemble then :p
But anyway, like... Cans can be overloaded (like when you kill a hauler spawn, you can end up with say 30,000m3 out of 27,500m3 used).

1mil m3? What the hell?
100k-300k would be better tbh. And as for assembling ships in space, uh... kinda like a kinder surprise, no? If you lose your frieghter, you can always jump into the ships that it drops. Or, you can put a frieghter in a freighter thats in a frieghter thats in a frieghte... err.. nevermind.

It's not like you can do anything with them other than move things between stations.
If and when the formal contract system comes out, I think these will fall right in place in the game as part of a charge-for-moving-stuff service.

Can the freighters use pos's to dump stuff to or do they need propper stations?

Boy oh boy, I can imagine the escort required to move one of these puppies into 0.0.  If ganking is bad now with instas still in, I can't imagine these ships ever leaving 0.5+ space. Ever.
I hope the devs don't expect these to help a major move into low sec... Being an honest hauler, though, my only problem is with the Gallente design. As much as I've always wanted to fly a floating car park, can't we trade designs with the Amarrians on this one?

Why stop there. Lets bring your worst nightmare to fruition. Imagine this thing filled to the brim with megacyte and zydrine. :)

Actually Rambler there are many of us out in 0.0 space who are looking forward to these monster haulers. However your right about the escort. Whenever we move one of these we plan to have a fleet go along as escort!! Would bloody hate to lose all that cargo.
Its cool I hadn't thought about it but yeah ships would appear when they get dropped out of a cargohold. Now the real question is can you pack a fully configured battleship in your hold so that when you get blown up you can hop in and attack them right away

Oh so THAT's what an indy pilot whose ship I killed a while back did. Did wonder.
And Dionysus? I bet on tritanium :)

Umm you need to package those ships. Assembled ships are not the same size...
Pieces or parts thats why you need mechanics skills to assmble the ship!

I don't think you can put anything in a repackaged ship's cargo.

i think that freighters will have the defenses of a few BS, so they're not paper ships, but they'll have no slots and be VEEERY slow....

So long as they cant be used for trading, i have no problem with freighters being that big.
