Also, could give option of a "Anti Warp disruption system" to put in the cargo hold, or install in a medium slot,maybe rig, to allow the Mining and Cargo ships to warp out to safety if under warp prevention influence by a big enemy fighting ship. As said, We have nothing to fight back at them with mining and cargo ship, so Passive systems like these will certainly help us survive.
All combat ships are in need of cargo hold rebalance.
Did you know exploration frigates have larger cargo holds than the harbinger? Frigates and cruisers should have significantly smaller holds than ships significantly larger.
The current industrial transport ships would be increased slightly for more room at higher risk and if you want to transport small to moderate cargo or something you'd use a combat ship as an armed transport. Like the old exequror but larger scale. No reason for a gnosis to have a larger cargo hold than battleships and have frigates with more space than battlecruisers. Harbinger is 375 for reference.
Frigates should get 0-400 like they currently do. Cruisers scale it up to 500-900
Battlecruisers get bigger to 1000-1500, and battleships to 2000s and you keep seeing it increase.
It's kind of silly when yiu look at it currently. An itty bitty t1 industrial at level 1 Indy has more cargo space than a big dreadnought.
Look at the size difference. How does a battleship only have a few hundred m3 more space despite being 50times.

Actually started making a list a while back on this but i stopped when I got to carriers and pirate faction ships.
A 125m3 difference between frigate and battleship size is absurd.
