cryptic edge Caldari KHM Corporation	Posted - 2006.08.15 19:04:00 - [1] Originally by: Olivin Originally by: Kerby Lane Originally by: Olivin Originally by: Kerby Lane Quote: Same applied to a freighters, because their main task ( outpost construction) is irrelevant in high sec where outpost can't be deployed. Care to quote when it is stated that main task of freighters is Outpost construction ? More details on outposts "Outpost Construction Platforms get deployed into space like anchorable secure cans but can only be deployed by a Freighter because of the size of it once complete." Olivin How does it prove you point that main function of freighters is Outpost construction ? POS can be only deployed from industrial ship. POSes can be deployed in 0.3 and lower. Please restrict industrials to low sec. Exactly. All other functions can be performed by t1 and t2 industrials, but outposts can be only constructed using freighters and there are no any alternatives. Freighters huge capacity is simply there to serve this function. Also, freighters are only station to station, so clearly CCP don't want to them to haul ore from the belts. Why not? Freighters have been already nerfed, so they can't haul dreads. Why not? Olivin What about corp relocation? I know there are several corps that have moved around eve more than 2x in the last 30 days and without the use of a freighter said move would be impossible (imagine, enough pos parts for 4, a dozen battleships, 2 dozen barges and indys, 4-6 dozen cruisers and battlecruisers, plus assorted mods) Time to move without a freighter - 1 week With a freighter - 1 day See the difference? If a corp has to move without a freigher (and yes, HAS to move for one of several reasons) whats to say half the members would remain in corp or game? Your what if argument that freighters can ruin the NPC market is flawed in that it 1. Hasnt happened yet, freighters have been out for 9 months 2. There are atleast 10 legitimate nonnpc trade reasons for a freighter in highsec 3. The freighter warps slowly (.7) and turns very slowly to the point that a bump is 2 minutes added to their travel time. counting bodies like sheep to the rythm of the war drum
