I would like to hear your thought on the following.
Every miner has always had the problem that every once in a while he needs to grab his ore from a can and fly back to the station (or just keeping it in his hold and fly back)
Now with the freighters it would be very usefull to have a transport device (which requires maybe half of the total cap a mining barge has) which makes a link between the freighter and mining barge and can transport ore between that link.
This is very usefull for a mining corp that has a huge barge fleet and maybe 1 freighter. This also will work against ore thiefs and isn't really macro sensitive because they have to train for months just to be able to fly a freighter and barge.
Skillwise this would mean:
Ore Transporting Skill > Rank 4. Level 1 makes that 60 % of the ore will be transported correct, level 2 70 % etc etc etc.
Ore Transporting Module use (example) 125 Cap every cycle. Cycle will be once every 3 mins just like the mining lasers
Locking time for the module would be in the range of 1 minute and the range should be about 3 - 5 kilometers.
Please only constructive response.

Excellent idea, and although it would indeed assist macro miners i think that something should be made so that such a transport device could work between miner and can or miner and hauler.
We arent all macroers

Great idea  ,
Adds:
- Transporter range freigther <=> can , max 5km
- Transports 1 m3 every 1 cap. 1 cycle transports as much
as there is cap or m3
- Every cycle automatically ends and has 2 be turned on
manually again.
- Shield of freighter has 2 be down 2 transport.
- Only ore can be transported, other items will be turned
into garbage.
may worth somthing :P'

Since freighters are only able to go to stations and gates I fail to see the relevance for this?

Which is exactly why i scaled it down to haulers, cans and miners.

industrials and transport ships not .... FREIGHTERS which are for moving station goods and minerals around in large amounts station to station

Ohh sorry you meant from cargo to can - sorry misread it completely.
Wouldn't a macro be easier? 
But yes, it should however be limited to secure cans imo.

yeah sec cans only - good idea - jet cans are just that jet cans - even with NPC drops being protected by can theif marking as per patch notes - player dropped jet cans will still be able to be poached free of charge by ore theifs and this is a good idea

I just fail to see why this shouldn't be allowed with freighters. The whole point of this transport module that you don't have to fly back every 5 mins to the station as you now have a huge cargo hold to fill.
Also because of the freighters none scoop ability this would make it a true hauler.
If you look at RL there are huge cargo ships that don't have the ability to load themselfs but there are other vessels that do that for them. Think about mudscoopers (don't know the english word sorry) They scoop the mud and poor it into a huge freighter.
@Amish: If you use 1 cap per ore unit it would be way to much. A mining barge only has a cap of 250 so that would allow you 2 transport 500 units total before cap runs out (didn't do the math) that's why I said 125 per 3 mins.
The part of not being able to transport modules i like tho... let's transport 40 cap recharges to... instant garbage worth 600m 
Also if you can transport to a freighter then it would gain an extra role which i think isn't bad for a BFS like the freighter.
Now with this module you'll have even more benefits: Mining will become easier and maybe this will lead to more mining. And if I loke at the future I see Tech II mining barges (I saw them on a website with the same resistance as assault ships) and with this module mining in 0.4 0.0 will be much more attractive. Think of getting 900.000 m3 of arkanor :)
It will take a while to fill the hold yes but when you finally got it DAMN. Also you will have a possibility to mine more Isogen then. The market will become more stable then and the price of ships can go down.
I'm waiting for your responses

Well the reason it cant be applied to freighter is really pretty simple, they can only travel between stations and gates.
Nuff sed
