whow, up to the next round...
with 4.5mil sp I¦m quite new to the game but have read almost all threads concerning this topic within the last weeks (and many many others in the last months;)).
I think slots would make freighters imbalanced and simply too strong. One simple dcu would almost double a freighters hitpoints, sounds to much. The ability to fit cargo expanders would also have to be prohibited etc.
But nevertheless the fact that freighters drop loot and suiciding freighters in highsec is too easy atm (with drones not stopping damage after concord jaming) shows, that risk/reward is out of balance atm.
I think the simplest solution would be to stop insurance-payout for concordokend ships and reworking drone-behaviour after concord intervenes in the fight. That would make it more difficult to suicide freighters in highsec but leave still the possibility to do it, which is perfectly ok and necessary within the sandbox. But it should only be rewarding for the guys that do their homework and pick the right targets with multi-billion freight or for alliances as a method to disrupt logistics of the enemy.
Another thing that should be done is getting people out of the noob-corps after a while. People will complain: "it prevents me from beeing able to do this stuff solo, i want to reach goals of this size alone." Lets be honest, a freighter is the largest ship for moving tradegoods around, one kind of primary goal for most of the dedicated traders.
Why should this people expect to reach a goal of this size without other people they cope with? If you want to be a top-notch trader or industrialist, cope with people in industrial corps and most of the trouble would be solved on its own.

And just what is the rational argument of those who don't want freighters do have cargo expanders? Does it really just get under your skin if someone could haul 1mil m3 instead of 875k m3? You have got to be kidding me...
Cargo expanders would make transporting capitals into highsec possible, something ccp definately does not want to happen;)

LOL@ the noobs criticizing the OP of overpowered.. As it is now it takes only 40 seconds to pop a freighter and theirs nothing they can do about it. I think its a great idea to put slots on it. 4 wcs and 1 dcu II would make it in line to survive against 15 suicide dominixs which is all it takes to pop one in 40 seconds.
It only takes 30 seconds because drones/concord mechanics seem broken. If drones stop damaging when concord jams, no way your 15 domis would be able to pop the freighter at all.
>> problem solved...
just the fact i¦m no vet doesn¦t mean i¦m not able to think about the topic, mr. pro;)
