Yes, these things are going to be tough to catch - going to require team work. At a glanceGǪ it will take 10 points to catch an Impel on a low sec gate, or a Heavy Interdictor with a scram. Then the tank kicks inGǪ but functionally, once you catch these things, they are dead.

Dual prop transport for lols. Mjd + ab. Slowboating out of bubbles and tackle hehe

Hook it up to a turret and we can have our much wanted corpse launcher.

Can't you make them immune to bubbles and scram have them take a long time to warp with best skills? Because in that case tank would make sense and it would be a fun thing to chase that transport from gate to gate, beating him down every time.

Because there's no need to and because it doesn't seem like a simple design oversight that they can't use one?

Can they tank like that until the next downtime? Because with a scram+web they ain't going anywhere but a killboard.

So why are we going through the gimmick of a fleet hanger instead of just giving them a 'general goods' bay ala the rebalanced t1's?

Um if any part of your hauling plan involves tanking then your plan is pretty ****

The weedy cargo means DSTs can no longer handle starbase mods - you can't scoop / launch them from a fleet hangar. What about a slightly bigger base cargo, around 3-4k?

If the additional WCS role bonus doesn't protect the MJD, these things aren't going to live long. The spool time is more than long enough to be webbed + scrambled, and no amount of overheating will help then. What about instead of 5% velocity per level, they get -5% to MJD spool time bonus per level?

The DST have a +2 warp core strenght does it means the MJD will still be active if you put only one or 2 points on the ship or Only need to scramble It ( like usual) to cut off the MJD?

It doesn't look like a good change for high sec haulers/industrialist

Rite now, before the change, only T2 deep space transports can haul valuable goods above 20.000 m-¦ .....and ii f you know how to fit them (hint: cloaky warp trick) you can even fly them through the (gank/) gates of niarja and uedama.

in high sec, PI/module/loot /ammo haulers have this kind of problem because the tech 1 industrials are gank targets as soon as they transport goods above 40.000.000 ISK. The only option for valauable stuff beyond the freighter will now be the blockade runner. ..which means 50% less cargo capacity. ( unless you wanna call a 400m-¦ courrier tengu an industrial ship)

I don't understand your post. After the change, DST will be able to haul 50.000m3 (+5% per skill) while having a ~80k EHP tank with a ~12 second align time. Seems like a buff to me.
