When a freighter pops couldnt it just drop one large can or stasis field which could only be retrieved by a certain type of hauler? The ship could be light, unarmed, no cargospace, massive engines...and the ability to collect a freighters cargo can/field in its front "arms".
Surely this would reduce lag, make empire ganking harder and offer a new ship skill...if not a whole new area of game....
Just a thought from a pvper, not a hauler.

Better solution, ship wreckages.
Example.
1. Ship explodes (BOOM!)
2. Wreckage is left drifting in space, looks kinda like some of the original ship
3. People have to sort through wreckage which might take 30-60 seconds
Added features:
1. Extra level of immersion (fleet battle sights littered with wreckages)
2. Wreckages are more exciting than "Cargo Containers"
3. Means PvPers will really have to be dedicated to their loot, no more instalooting and straight to safespot. Also means the enemy fleet can't destroy all loot cans as they align to warp to safespot.
4. Instalooting some notorious t2/faction fitted fleet captain's wreckage wont distract greedy frigate pilots to go for the loot instead of performing their role

I figure anything bigger than a cruiser should leave salvable wreckage behind, instead of just popping. I can believe that a frigate, or even a cruiser, would "go critical" and vaporize itself after its hull sustained enough damage, but a nuked Apocalypse or Brutix should leave big chunks of itself floating around, and an Obelisk or Naglfar would float, largely intact, in space as a derelict carcass.
That would rule.

Don't forget the POSs. They should leave homeless people floating around.

The ship wreckage is already planned.
Hopefully they will just create an extra-large version of the jet can for freighters and have all the surviving loot end up in that can.
