If it stays like this the ship will only be available to the residents of the c5/c6.
You can also give us a rig that reduces mass for this ship, by smth like 20% (sort of the opposite of the planned higgs anchor rig) . This way we get to use it without making the ship more bump-able in highsec.
Otherwise totally cool idea.
That may not be a good idea necessarily. While it would be interesting to fit this through wormholes, being able to cram what would be an army of ships into a random wormhole (c2-c4), with 1 guy, might be a bit unbalancing and more like how nullsec would supply their line.
Don't think c1 through c4 space needs this ship in there.
Yaay!!!!

People are concerned a fleet of catalysts will just begin alphaing these ships left and right. Because one battleship drop will cover most of the cost of the gank (even if it was just a t2 fit battleship).
The issue isn't really the ship, it's that the ship escorts can't do anything for it in highsec (reps won't help).
Boosters would though, but that would need to be looked at.
Yaay!!!!

The limiting factor of a siege is the number of people and the number of hulls.
Still being able to put into c1 through c4 space, what is essentially a freighter, is not a good idea in my opinion.
They have options already, though c5 and c6 would be interesting.
Yaay!!!!

Here's an idea. Would it make sense to prevent cargo scanners from scanning this ship (same as the blockade runners). It would be pretty much hit or miss whether you get anything from killing it.
Of course te counter argument is that every one of these ships will be gank on site.
Yaay!!!!

Of course te counter argument is that every one of these ships will be gank on site. you already have some of this functionality; modules fitted to the ships in the ship bay will not show up on a scan. you could be carrying trillions in officer modules in it, but nobody would know since all they'd see on a scan is a bunch of rifters, merlins and kestrels.
But the ships themselves still do.
And anything that says "Faction Battleship" is pretty much DOA.
Yaay!!!!
