All this stuff suggested seems to make sense, until you just consider that it really isn't all that big a deal to train up to drive a freighter.
Skills aren't the problem. It's the price different between a heavy transport (~40M ISK) and a freighter (1B ISK). I don't really need the freighter's cargo capacity -- it's 10 times what I really need. But I do need more than the transport's. I have a Bustard, I love it, but it's still takes me 3-4 trips to move my base of operations, even with 3 cargo expanders (I could put in 5, but ~13k m3 cargo at 500 m/s is actually a lot faster than 20k at like 250 m/s).
What people are saying is that we would like a ship with roughly 100k m3 cargo space and a price of 100M-200M ISK to take care of the in between jobs. A "superheavy" transport that requires say, Transport 4, would be fine.

a 100k m3 100m-200m ship would be TOO good. Unless it could ONLY be used for POS fuel/components
