Every freighter should have a purpose. We also lack of dedicated mineral hauler for cheap and large volume minerals like tritanium.

Minmatar Fernir - Freighter skill bonus: 5% to agility, 10% to warp speed
Caldari Charon - 5% to cargohold, 5% to speed
Amarr Providence - 5% to armor HP, 5% to armor resistances (base 250.000 Armor HP)
Galente Obelisk - 5% to cargohold 5% to speed - special ability: 2.000.000 m3 mineral cargo-hold

Fernir- fast and agile hauler - great for non-autopilot players, Fixed cargohold up to 800k m3
Charon - status quo. something in between.
Providence - Fixed smaller cargohold (up to 500k m3) but great HP - ideal for hauling expensive stuff at the expense of low agility and speed.
Obelisk - large cargohold + dedicated mineral cargohold for hauling large volumes of cheap minerals like tritanium

Amarr Providence - 5% to armor HP, 5% to armor resistances (base 250.000 Armor HP)

Yeah... NO
Go crawl back into whatever hole you came from carebear.

No industrial ship should have that much EHP.
Since were discussing this stuff I think they should reduce overall EHP of freighters instead of making them effectively unkillable due to node lag.

2.000.000 m3 mineral cargo-hold

We can all agree that we need some kind of ship with large cargo-hold for cheap but large volume goods like tritanium or Aqueous Liquids.

Name one thing you can fill that with that doesn't make you worth killing on the spot.

Please tell me this was sarcasm and not a serious suggestion!?!

Oh, so you want super easily gankable low HP expensive ship and I AM A CAREBEAR? No you are missing the whole point of this thread. My proposal for Providence was that there are some types of goods that could fit within 400-500k m3 but are expensive (more than few Billions) So even for gankers it would take many more Tornadoes/Catalysts to be profitable, but providence pilot would deal with very low agility and speed. Also if you quote something, be sure to quote whole proposal next time (like low agility for Providence), not just stuff you dont like.

I think a freighter with a billion isk in trit is going to be killed on sight, therefore I have poor reading comprehension? I don't follow.

100 minerals fit it 1 m3 of space. Trit is always about 5 isk. 1 m3 of trit is ~500isk. 500 times 2 is 1000. 1000 * 1,000,000 = 1,000,000,000.

The cheapest stuff you can load into it is worth ganking for, anything nicer than mex makes the cargo hold with engines worth more than a super.

--Edit--
I calculated the max ehp on the providence with those stats, its 1.04 million ehp

If you can't see how stupid this is then get out.

Give freighters 1 cap rig slot that can change the cargo hold to be more specialized. At least this way it would cost you some isk if you decide to change your business model . And you wouldn't need to own all 4 freighters.

On (1) the purpose of every freighter is...well this is awkward....to move huge amounts of freight! Purpose done.

On (2) with the new T1 Industrials you will get this specialisation. Freighters don't need slots or specialisation...they're freighters with behemoth cargo carrying capacity.

Just my opinion.

The Maximuses (Maximii?) agree! Freighter's don't need any more "specialization." They have built-in differences, preserve racial flavor and perform similar functions well.
