Actually the tank on your JF is about the same as before, thanks to the extra resists. So you get one of the three for free!

But yes, the fact that this is a small reduction in Jump Freighter power is completely intended.

Why not rig it for warp speed, instead? You spend a lot more time in warp then you do aligning.

Hmm, well yes, with these changes that will certainly be the case.
I suppose it also doesn't hurt that much of I lose 10% from my irrelevant 1 tf CPU.

Yes, but with the already low cargo capacity, I'll end up with a ship that will only carry slightly more than an Orca, with the Orca still being (far) faster and more sturdy. If I did it with a regular freighter, it might be an idea (as mentioned in my first post edit), but it won't save my trusty old Nomad.
.

I'm seeing some good feedback about the unique role of Jump Freighters meaning that they don't get much benefit from rigs other than cargo rigs, and this is indeed a problem that limits player choice. I'm going to bring up a few ways to help solve that issue with the other designers early next week.

I do want to clarify that although it's very possible that a lot of these numbers can change, we're not going to simply give JFs a gigantic buff to their cargoholds and call it a day. The fast movement of goods across the galaxy has its advantages and also its disadvantages, and we are not going to simply let power creep get out of control in this area.

there's mention of fuel rigs.

"his ship modification is designed to decrease the fuel requirements of jump drive travel at the expense of fuel bay capacity.
Penalty: Using more than one type of this module or similar modules that affect the same attribute on the ship will be penalized."

enjoy.

More accurately, regular implants become high-grade, with +1 to their attribute bonus; low-grade implants become mid-grade, also with +1 to their attribute bonus; and completely new low-grade implants are introduced that are only the same as the current ones in that they provide a total attribute bonus of +2.

So you're still gimped by 1 point.

Then why is it that all other HP mods are fixed amounts and not percentage based? I mean if percentage based boosts werenGÇÖt OP and easily balanced then how come all the other buffer mods are broken into separate sub classes?

No, but it is a good approximation of most people attitudes toward it.

Perhaps this is a better one:
Starting June, car manufacturers are doubling the mpg of their new vehicles, but they are cutting the size of all current gas tanks by half. ------- You see, it defeats the f******g purpose.

Say bye-bye small null corps.

I'll check back in a couple of years to see if CCP has stopped doing boneheaded things.

Why don't you just allow all fittings and rigs on them and let the players make up their minds on how to fit them?

Though I am sure they will just be fit for fuel and cargo personally.

Both of which I don't have a problem with.

On this issue I see a lot of waffle and lack of time put it. I know you want to do something... but doing crappy things is not the answer.
