Bulkheads. JF's.
Both of those overlap into the window of cargo space you are claiming exist.
If anything your maths shows that there are serious design flaws with the entire industrial ship design that need fixing before any new ships can even be considered being introduced. Like the way Cargo Expanders don't have stacking penalties yet are a percentage based increase. And the ridiculous way CCP treats industrials as a second rate ship class. |

Specifically looking at ships like the porpoise & such, you will note that CCP has decided that gameplay should not require players sitting around in ships that are doing nothing most of the time. This includes the ability of ships like the Porpoise/Orca/Rorqual to mount a reasonable degree of self defence.
Something you are decidedly lacking in your suggestion.
The whole idea of escorts is counter to the idea of active gameplay, since the escort is achieving nothing 99% of the time. Haulers should instead be self escorting (obviously only to some degree) which then creates a push to form small convoys of haulers to get appropriate damage output and support. Since haulers do achieve things simply by travel, namely hauling, that the escorts are dead weight on, just like Orca's now can actively mine, not just sit there doing nothing.
I still believe you are trying to fill a slot that doesn't exist, and that a proper rebalance of the existing cargo ships would already fill this slot just fine, in that the T1 'larger' freighter should fill the slot while the DST is a specialised super tanky and better DPS output version of the 'tanky' T1 industrial. |

How can you say that? I didn't go into a lot of detail, but I gave them enough slots to fit plenty of defense. How much is a matter of their powergrid and CPU.
EHP is not defence. Defence involves being able to actually kill/drive the attackers off, i.e. high slots with turret/missile slots & drones. You also gave them a pretty miserable number of slots for a ship of that size. |

Mainly it's you spamming the same 'No change to anything' you currently put into every thread. |
