As a hauling character, primarily used to haul to and from various POS's, would be great if the frieghter could move items too, and from a hangar array.
Say if the game developers changed the frieghter to drop things inside a starbase force field, even if it is too and from the hangar only. This wouldn't then increse depleation in the asteroid belts as the freighter still cant deploy or pick up jet cans.
Surely this will encourage more freighters into 0.0 and therefore bringing escorts, and need i say benifit pirate players too if they took out escorts and freighter? Its such a shame these harmless giants are wasted for empire only.
Also perhaps give the freighter some sort of warp resistance to throw into the mix (as you cant fit warp stabs)

So basicly u want 1 hauler to bring a small pos with corp hangar and a freighter right after that with 10 large posses including equipment and fuel..
Pos warfare already is lame, but @ least the logistics are a pain atm, let's keep it that way.

As the other guy just said, its more about POS Warfare balancing than about mining, and it's already too easy to keep POS's spammed and running.
For taking POS fuels, you just have to use your freighter to take the stuff to the nearest Station or Outpost, then use haulers to take it the rest of the way. Think of it like having the cargo ship take the goods to the port, but then needing lorries to take it to its final destination. Welcome to the many-layered world of EVE logisitics

Personally I would say that coding the freighter cargo bay to not accept deployable items (apart from the outpost egg) is the way to go.
Allow it to do what it likes with undeployable cargo, but do not allow it to transport any deployables apart from the Outpost Egg, and it's scope for abuse is totally gimped.
Sure it can move alot of fuel - but putting the POS up/taking it down are just as hard as they used to be.
This is just my personal take though, i do not know hoe feasable it would be and freighters are fine as they are thb if you have a strong alliance/corp.

Stupid...Stupid...Stupid.
Freighters, and i own one, have got to be the most retarded ship in eve. Massive, but cant defend itself. Can't drop cans, but possibly soon will on destruction O_o. Can't pick up cans....uh ok. Since CCP does not care about macroing....why should it care if freighters are used with macros? This seems to be the major concern as to why they cant load and unload from their bay.
such a loss of concern for one thing has inadvertantly caused an side affect for another.
Wake up CCP, who cares if belts get depleted....let the players deal with freighter camps in belts...dont try to prevent something we could take care of.
