Because they have more EHP and travel faster than a normal freighter, both of which improve survival chances by a fair amount. They also don't sucker you into filling up on too much valuables, which is a bonus since it lets those main traits work their magic. Actually, when I run the numbers (from the OP, which curiously enough don't always agree with EFT or Pyfa), it's not quite as bad as feared.
They also cost 6x as much, GREATLY increasing your chances of gank.
The EHP difference doesn't mean anything to the people that can do freighter ganking, and your speed won't save you from the bumping Mach.

You could have just made packaged capitals unhaulable rather then nerfing freighters/JF down to where the whole rig announcement is almost useless. Yes, overall they got a 'bonus', but a few % AFTER they apply the new rigs isn't a bonus, it's a slap in the face to those who pilot these ships.
Disapprove =/
Well **** balancing I guess.
Reducing the cargo capacity had nothing to do with hauling capitals, it had everything to do with balance.
Now instead of getting cargo capacity and tank, you get to choose which one you want more at a sacrifice to the other. Y'know...like fit a ship for a purpose. GÇ£Die tryingGÇ¥ is the proudest human thing. |

That way we can have the choice to fit how we see fit without having to rip out 2 T2 rigs or buy a whole new freighter!
Yes, lets jsut make all rigs removable while we're at it. GÇ£Die tryingGÇ¥ is the proudest human thing. |
