I'd like to see this happen. Think Jump Freighters but smaller.
You could quite literally take the Blockade Runner ships, remove the cloaky side of things, add a fuel bay big enough for 3 full-range jumps and call it done. Maybe make them slower but a bit tankier too.
And before anyone says it, yes you can already do this with the BLOPs bridges. It takes at least 3 characters and you get to move about 10,000m3 of stuff. I'd still like to see another option in the Transport Ship range. |

What about Deep Space Transports instead? They are already slow and tanky. |

I wouldn't mind seeing one of two things happen:
1: DSTs get a massive increase to their cargo capacity
or
2: DSTs get a jump drive. |

nah.. siht idea.
JF are already too safe, good thing is they are expensive and hence not accessible for broad mass of players and once they get popped after some kind of mishap, a lot of ISK would be gone.
There shouldnt be any further cheaper and easier safe method of moving stuff with so little risk involved. |

Just what we need, more easy mode null sec logistics to break the game even further...
Seriously though... The modern easy mode eve and it's inhabitants are getting a bit silly. |

Power projection needs an overhaul before more jump capable ships get inserted |

This I agree with. I would however still like to see my DST do something other than be fat and slow and hold less than my blockade runner. |

Confirming that we will see the hoards of jump-capable transport ships taking down towers and stealing sov.
Seriously? |

I'd still like to see another option in the Transport Ship range. A carrier holds 10k+cargo bay+maintenance bay. A carrier isn't that expensive and provides so many extra features on top of transport. The only advantage a jumphauler would have is gates and you wouldn't want to use them because you'd get ganked. |

With a corp name like that I'm not sure why I'm responding to you, but here goes...
Let's pretend that these ships get into game. You can now jump 10,000m3 worth of 'stuff' the same range as a carrier. HOW, pray tell, does this allow you to project your force any further than you already can?

you can already jump 10k with carriers. Any cheaper/easier vessel for the same purpose would mean less people would fly stuff with blockade runners/haulers we can shoot and kill. Bad idea. Risk reduction is bad for the game. |
