Given the emphasis they're trying to put on increasing null sec industry, this might be one time CCP will look for a alternative solution to the nerf bat.

I tend to go with this. If they are going to prevent it, and I don't believe that, but for the sake of argument:

I actually think they'ed go with a legality thing where it gets confiscated, like with drugs.

I'm pretty certain that IF caps can be freighted into high-sec the rules would be moot. But then I don't expect CCP to allow them to be freighted in even after rigs...

I'll let Fozzie explain this in more details, but in short, no, dreads and carriers won't make it into high-sec.

Disgusting, lets just remove suicide ganking all together and ban everyone who isnt a carebear from highsec right?

If I'm hearing this right, they'll most likely nerf the hold so that you can't get more cargo then you could before. Theyre now just giving you options to use.

But they ARENT options, you can either suck up an in all likelihood SIGNIFICANT cargo nerf in favor of a little more tank that STILL wont save you from someone who decides your worth ganking, or actualy utilizing the full cargohold, except havign even less tank than before because of the cargohold mod/rig penalties.

so its not a choice, its either suck up a cargo-hold nerf and fit tank, or make yourself even easier/cheaper to kill.

Something that I think a fair few of you have failed to notice is that he only mentions that Dreads and Carriers will not be allowed in high-sec. He doesn't mention any thing about not letting the Rorqual into high-sec.

Possible, but it could also mean that packaged dreads/carriers will be on the smuggling list that NPC navies scan for. Freighter wouldn't stand a chance on gate. Or they could just be flicking a switch that says 'if there's a packaged X capital in the hold, disallow gate jump.' The switch exists for capitals already, it could temporarily reclass the freighter to not be capable of making gate jumps into hi. Many possibilities. But an important question to get answered.

They solve the problem by banishing freighters from high sec as well. They did promise there would be new ships, maybe one of them is a freighter lite.

What size are rigs for freighters going to be? Capital or large?

Likely Capital.

actually, i'd put money on large.

like the orca.
