Ummm... you know that originally they were going to have about 100,000 m3 ?
So a nerf from 800,000 to 750,000 isnt a reason to whine.
The capacity isn't the issue, it's the repackaged size of Dreads, which will fit on some but not all Freighters. I couldn't care less that the Min Freighter has the smallest cargo.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Freighters have 3 functions:
1) Carrying lots of stuff
2) Deplying Outpost Construction Platforms
3) Carrying around repackaged capital ships - only matters for dreads atm, but in the future carriers.
2 of the freighters can do all 3, 2 can only do 2.
Hence, 1/2 of frieghters are automagically gimped in respect to the other 2, much like the other 3 bombers would be in respect to the manticore if any of them were any good.

How come nobody complained their ass off when nobody could carry around BS?
If I may point this out, industrials used to be unable to carry anything bigger than a frigate. People survived.
because freighters are:
A) The only way to carry a dread from wher you build it to where you're delivering it. face it, those prices mean there's going to be a few people capable of building them.
B) The only way to move them out of the 0.5 where you build them.
C) The only way to carry them around without haing to use a jumpdrive. And dont give me the "you dont have to" argument, thats bogus. Its one of their primary uses. If its not important then none should be able to do it. If it is then all should be able to.

Either way, the ability to move a dread is a FUNDAMENTAL consideration for a freighter. Which brings us to the starting argument.
Why the fsck did they nerf them?

Well they obviously consider this issue to be important.
Important enough to make sure no freighter can carry a dreadnought.
Stats on sisi
Charon: 785000
Obelisk: 750000
Providence: 735000
Fenrir: 720000
End of the issue it seems.
