Perhaps this ship was intended to make the game more fun for pirates, rather than shippers?
Seems to me that the only reason you'd move ships in a maintenance bay is if you've put rigs on them, and don't want to have to destroy the rigs. Right?
So I suppose it might be handy if more people were skilling their rigging skills to IV, then fitting and selling T2 rigged ships in Jita. That could become a trade option I guess. Bring one of these ships into Jita, load up with T2 rigged contract ships, and carry them out with you?
But if it's not about rigs, then why bother? |

So when would you want to haul a bunch of fitted ships?
1 - When your corp is headed off to war, and you want lots of prefitted ships in your base for players to grab and use.
2 - Because you have Shield/Armor/ETC rigging to IV, and you want to bring rigged ships to market at Jita. (Because apparently players can buy those ships and use them with the rigs despite not having their own skills to IV.)
3 - Because you're a mission runner, and you want to move your mission running fleet to a new system.
4 - Any other reasons?

I've been wondering about this. It still seems like, if you want to move ships around fast, you would dissassemble them, and then put both them and their modules into a normal freighter.
The only real advantages of a big ship bay would seem to be if they have rigs. That and saving time if you've already got them fit how you want (so you don't have to keep doing it again and again.)
The inability to see the modules on a scan might be a side advantage too, I guess. But if they're expensive ships, then probably a high sec pirate will assume the rigs are expensive too.
At least the ship adds some variety. I thought the Prospect was going to be a big waste of space, but then I trained an alt on it and tried it out and it's actually a pretty useful ship for the role I give it (not it's intended role). |

Why not keep the jump fatige bonus, and let the community decide what they want to use the ship for?
It's one thing to design a ship with a purpose in mind. It's another thing to try and bar that ship from serving any purpose other than the one you explicitly intended. That's doesn't appear to be the philosophy of Eve. |
