ORE seems to have started becoming the company for miscellaneous stuff.
What's the deal with the name? Bowhead sounds odd, why not something like Bowsprit instead? |

Didn't realize that was a type of whale. My second suggestion for name was actually Narwhal, though I don't believe that's actually a whale. Maybe Humpback? |

Bear in mind that Orcas hunt for their food, and are more commonly known as Killer Whales and the name is attached to a general purpose mobile high sec mining base. I'm just thinking the current name sounds uninspired. Orca is neat and even if I don't know what a Rorqual is, it sounds cool enough. Bowhead is just blegh, but whatever.

Any ship that can not defend its self with weapons should at least be able to use passive defenses or the ability to hide. A side from defender missiles, freighters shouldn't be well armed. They aren't meant for combat. FLAME ON!!!!
How can you like cloaks on your freighters if freighters don't have cloaks? Offensive slots on most industrials is something of a joke. Sure there is the case of the battle badger, but for the most part it's a token defense that doesn't do anything. I don't think being able to cloak would really help the situation much anyways, though I admit being able to hide a ship maintainence array in a hostile system for reshipping could be interesting gameplay.
I should not it does have slots for passive defense. |
