Sick of current transports not being big enough, and freighters being way too large and slow. Give us Large size (battleship size) transports, that can carry up to, idk, 100k m3? 150k? or whatever. Transporting ships is a pain, and when i wanna transport something like a BS or two and a handful of cruisers, transports arent large enough and freighters are waaay too large and slow. Give us something in the middle
Probably been discussed to death and back, but throwing in my frustrations :P Also large size mining ships would be cool. Would probably need heavy balancing or made super niche to not totally devalue exhumers. |

Not really, orca can only move fitted ships, not packaged ships, and bowhead is the exact same size as a freighter, so its just as slow. |

A cargo-fit orca can carry just over 100k m3 in its main cargohold, 40k m3 in the Fleet Hangar, and has another 400k m3 for assembled ships in the Ship Maintenance Bay. This is even more than you asked for.
Next time, please do at least some cursory research on the things you want to ask for, before you ask them. As is the case here, you will often find that you are not, in fact, the first person to think of such a thing, and CCP has already gone ahead and put it in the game. :) |

-_- yes, but you cant fit a fitted battleship into an orca -_- let alone more than one. and im not talking about about fitted ships, im just talking about packaged ships, which an orca cant hold more than 1 packaged battleships, 2 with certain fits. |

You're asking for 100k, but 100k+40k isn't big enough?
If two battleships plus four cruisers isn't enough, then how much is? And what sort of pricerange do you see this thing coming in at? I assume you're asking for orca capacity at occator price? |

Again... an Orca that is fit for maximized cargo can hold 100,000 m3 in it's cargo hold in ADDITION to the assembled ships it can carry. The OP asked for 100,000 m3 cargo... which the Orca can achieve.
And it also has the other holds to go with that cargo space. It seems to fit the bill. |

So.. an Orca has a volume of 10.25 million m3.
Your average battleship has a volume of 0.5 million m3.
You want a "battleship sized transport". To me that reads as "I want a transport with dimensions that resemble those of a battleship"... so I'll be answering in that context.
You don't want that, unless you want something with about double the capacity of a T1 indy ship. It's certainly a far way away from the 100k m3.
"I want bigger and I want faster" fails to justify anything.
Get a carrier, jump it between destinations. A niddy has a 1M m3 maintenance bay. Well in excess of your goals, and a jump drive is WAY faster.
If it's for highsec then you must deal with the fact that highsec is supposed to be slower-paced, where the carebears can keep up. |

An Orca actually has quite a bit of regular cargo space, and a Bowhead is *much* faster than a Freighter because a Bowhead can fit a MWD and use that to warp faster. Throw in a warp speed rig and implants on top of that and it's not too bad for speed compared to, say, an Orca which is the baseline for the kind of cargo capacity you're asking for (while also complaining that it doesn't carry enough).
Stephanie Rosefire wrote:-_- yes, but you cant fit a fitted battleship into an orca -_- let alone more than one. and im not talking about about fitted ships, im just talking about packaged ships, which an orca cant hold more than 1 packaged battleships, 2 with certain fits.
And yet that's exactly the kind of cargo capacity you're asking for...
OP, it's not supposed to be quick and easy to move large volumes of stuff around space. That's why Freighters are slow, that's why ships get slower quickly as cargo capacity increases.
If you want to haul a large number of hulls around either get an Orca or a Bowhead, or just bite the bullet and get a Freighter. |

Orcas are already cheaper than T2 battleships and that's the sort of thing you're asking for, right? Just get an Orca. Or a freighter. Or a JF. There are options in the range you're asking. |

im in agreement with the OP, i see a large demand for a new crago ship to fill the gap between industrial and freighter.
as it stands most industrial's have a cargo hold of 2,100-5,800 (minus the Hoarder) with a base cost around 1.5 million max. some industrial's when properly fitted get around 40,000 cargo. The next jump in the Industrial line-up is frieighter that jumps to a 400,000 cargo hold with a base cost around 1.2 billion and when properly fitted can easily break the 1,000,000 cargo mark. That leaves a gap for a 40,000-400,000 cargo hold ship. while your argument that the Orca fill this gap is more of a band aid fix when you consider that industrial's get up to a 25% bonus to the cargo hold and are not limited by what they can actually haul (minus the Hoarder again). so if there existed a mid-class hauler ship with a cargo hold around 50,000 and 3-4 low slots, they would be able to easily fill this industrial gap with a maxed cargo build allowing up to 300,000 cargo hold. This would help alleviate the massive gap in industrial's allowing pilots to better transition from one industrial ship to another.
My recommendation is break industrial's into 3 category's: T1- Transports - should be current industrial line up T2 - Cutter(Fast Transport) - Current T2 industrial's as they are now
T1 - Cargo - should be the new line up to fill in the gap T2 - Blockade Runner - T2 Cargo ships with similar bonus's to the current T2 industrials
T1 - Freighters - remained as they are T2 - Jump Freighters - as they are now |

Your goalposts need to stop overheating their MWD.
Your OP literally said, "Transporting ships is a pain, and when i wanna transport something like a BS or two and a handful of cruisers, transports arent large enough and freighters are waaay too large and slow."
A cargo-fit Orca can move "a BS or two" in the cargohold, along with 4 packaged cruisers in the fleet hangar and 4 more in the maintenance bay.
It satisfactorily fulfills the precise need you elected to use as an example in your OP.
