First off, Attacking an UNARMED ship is not PVP it's ganking. Pretending that your a PVPer does not make you one, actualy every real PVP should be taking offence at this.
And yes tankers and even vacation cruse liners do arm them selves in RL so the not armed bit doesnt hold water. Also anyone that played any other space based games (freelancer) knows that not only are the freighters armed but heavly armored, they are also by design very hard to sink unless you have a critical structural falure a freighter could loose half of it's compartments and still remain a float, IE: a space freighter, because of it's compartments, can loose up to half it's stucture and still fly.
If you can fit 8 hight slots on a destroyer you can on a freighter. Actually there is no reasion why a freighter does not have 3,5,8 slots. So the low slots can be expanders, reps, armor or bulkheads or dare I say Overdrives. Keep in mind that everything you add reflects on the speed and handeling of the freighter. Adding expanders slows the ship as does armor and bulkheads. Adding overdrives will speed up the ship at the cost of cargo space.
Why can you have a shield on everything from a frig to a titan but not on a freighter? also Turrets are externally mounted, what you cant find room on a freighter to mount one?
And WTH is there no drone bay, what no room avalible?
So far the only argument aganst low slots is "nooo then some on can bring a cap into high sec..." And? What the prob, so now they can do what with it, protect the miners from the nasty rats? (in high sec). Oh they can use it to gank at the gates.. sure lets build a cap to throw it away at a gate. OH maybe they are going to use it for mining,,, 
Heck I would have no prob even allowing the freighter to mount a Miner II if they wanted, since the only way to add cargo is at stations. OH,,, maybe they would mount remote reps and armor/shield rep drones and follow a group in to DS areas. Sure some people who forget that it would be usless, may try it once...
