Soon freighters will be available for mega corps and veteran players. Yes, freighters suppose to improve 0.0 logistics, but what will probably happens first, is that freighters will be used to dry all trade routes in Empire.
I highly doubt that it will happen; the onely way it would dry a market up if all the traders stay in one area doing theh same trade runs.
Another thing your forgetting is that even though they can haul whole ships around and tons of other stuff they are extremely SLOW in speed comapred to a normal indy.

We will see a lot of veteran/power players making billions of isk afk and in total safety. ( By Empire trade routes I mean NPC purchase/sell orders for the trade goods).
If you know that a trading corp mainly flies AFK then war deck them and take their freighter out, if you war deck them then they have no choice but to fly at the keyboard unless they dont mind losing a ton of cash.

This will effectively destroy all small trade corps as well as most of the solo/casual traders.
I like to call this type of thinking the chicken little effect "the sky is falling! the sky is falling! " there is no proof in your claim and I can point out several example most of the big corps that are very UBBER stay in low security space they only come to higher security to attack other corps assets, do missions and also to recruit.

Of course, most of "ubber" players/corps will never admit that, and why should they when they can place their traders/alts in NPC corps or in the shadow Empire outlets? I say restict freighters to 0.4 and below ( same as dreads), because:
Cold War patch requirements
1) 15 mil SP or more.
2) 1 bill ISK ( cash only) or more.
3) Member of power gamers corp.
4) At least 4 hours of the real time allocated for playing Eve on the daily basis.
Which effectively make freighters ( and most other patch content) available only to the specific group of players who should be busy developing 0.0, - not making easy isk in Empire and whining on the forums when new/solo/casual/ players infringe on a right to do the same.
Vote against freighters in Empire today!

Again your information is incorrect! that content is open to ANYONE wanting to be a freighter pilot I know you may not see that but you base alot of your arguement on alts that would be used to do trading in the new super ships; What is stopping you from doing it also?
What I think you are trying to say is that only YOU are allowed to make EASY ISK in empire space and that if someone else who has the chance to fly a freighter in empire space shouldnt. 
Well let me list some things you can do that will not make the sky fall
1) play with others, the game is MMORPG groups can be fun.
2) find a way to make more cash for your self so that you can also buy a freighter.
3) research the best routes that suit your needs and do them as much as you can soon you will also have a freighter.
4) quit complaining about what other people have if you want to be at their level play more or get a group toether to meet your goals.
5) The MAIN USE of Freighters is carrying cargo from STATION TO STATION, and you wont see alot of freighters in 0.0 for one of several reasons.
a: expensive to build and operate (i.e. they need escort)
b: You cant use it effectivly in little to no station space.
c: easy to kill, "but it has a ton of stats" doesnt mean anything if you have 10 extremely skilled pilots.
I can tell your one of those peope that will cry a river if you dont have it but change your story when you do, so please stop the whinning and just enjoy the game.
