Seem to be a capital ? looks big and fat and slow to me!
Time we relooked at the freighters class of ships, I would like to see bit of a tank on her just like orca or rorqual!
- 3 rigs slots - low and med slots of a ship, ever want to make a battle freighters! hehe - ^-- Like any other ships the races picks the layout.
Why not? |

As I recall the reason for no mods is to prevent the carrying of packaged carriers and such. Could be the new thing to smuggle carriers into empire or something like that.
Personally if it can't have the slots....give it some natural I stab or something. Not asking for nano dramiel align and warp off times but lets not have align warp start times that allow some guy to fly in from 20 systems over, take a smoke break, come back and then target you since still there lol. |

If I remember correctly, freighters used to have slots. They were removed by CCP when capitals were removed from highsec to ensure no one bypassed the embargo on no capitals in highsec. In short, no. Unsub or don't.-á I don't care what your reasons are, and neither does anyone else.-á Just click the button and go away - or don't. |

Perhaps because with their massive cargo bay there is no space to fit modules. Its a very dedicated ship, dedicated to one very specific role. It doesn't need modules.
JF on the other hand, possibly a couple of modules given it's price. -The sword is only as sharp as the one who wields it! Other names: Drenzul (WoT, WoW, Lineage 2, WarH, BloodBowl, BSG, SC2 and lots more)-á |

a very limited amount of customization should probably be possible for any ship? and a freighter having massive amounts of HP? ganking it also isnt that hard right now... more little ideas that need your support: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=261507#post261507 enjoying the order cancellation confirmation? sometimes CCP listens - there is hope after all :) www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1431503 |

This is a good idea, but should apply to a new category of ships. Faction freighters sounds just about right... 1 low slot, 2 mid slots, and 3 rigs sounds pretty good to me... |

If CCP doesn't want Carrier to be carried in a freighter, why not just make it impossible to fit a packaged Carrier in a freighter...
It seems pretty obvious O.o
I like ships that can be customized. |

I say nerf the freighter in exchange for the 1.1.1 slots |

They would have to nerf the freighter's native cargo carrying capacity and you'd have to use T2 rigs and T2 cargo expanders to get it fully back.
However, I don't see that as a bad thing when you look at a ship like the Orca (which is an industrial ship - done right). On the Orca, you can choose:
- Max cargo, with almost no tank (60-80k EHP). - Max-tank version, with about 240k EHP and about 3/5 the cargo capability. - Something between those two extremes.
Freighters (and Jump Freighters!) with low / mid slots + rigs would work very well as a similar design where you could trade-off EHP for cargo carrying capacity. You could go for a 500k m3 max-tank version (probably up around 350-450k EHP) or you could go for the 900-1000k m3 setup where you only have 200-250k EHP.
It would put the flexibility back in the hands of the players. I consider the old zero-slot freighter design to be very old-fashioned at this point. |

I second a 1/1/1 loadout (I'd add just one rig slot too, not 3)
I assume popular Lows would be: DCII for tank Cargohold expander II, for cargo Nano: faster warp and transit times
Mediums: ECM Afterburner (is there a big enough AB to really change its velocity much?) I can't really see much else being of use
High: cloak Neut (neut the tackler, and then warp off?) Smartbomb
Rig Expanded cargohold? Low friction nozzle joints or whatever for faster align times? Is there anything that increases hull HP? |

If your so worried about this, then CCP can make the repack bigger so they just don't fit lol... |

They did. It's why you can't fit modules to a freighter. |
