Ok I know alot of people has asked this or maybe not.
But I think there should be like a tech 2 version of the 4 shuttles that would beable to fit a small weapon or a ECM or any other jamming device. A sorta quick in jam and quick out operation for some of the larger ships to come in and attack. Tho this is just an idea so it's up to you guys to decide weather or not to take heed.
Thank you for your time.

I like this idea. I always wanted to be able to put some modules on my shuttle. Tech II shuttles could have one high, one medium and one low energy grids.

a shuttle is by design in my opinion the equivelent of a private jet. fast, weak defences and only enough cargo for one's most priced possesions. there is no need for a tech 2 version of it, and if it was it will NOT be able to fit any weapon of any kind since the speed and low signature radius one of those ships have would could make them overpowering against frigates cause they'd dot around the sky so fast that no weapons would ever be able to hit them.. no
a T2 shuttle will be about the same as a T1. no high, low or med slots however i can se one having alittle more speed but ultimatly i dont think we'll ever se a T2 shuttle at all altho i could be wrong..

T2 shuttle requiring interceptors skill (no frigate skill).
Fast, with a bigger shield and nice plating, bigger signature because of the shield and engine emissions, but warpcore strenght of 2.
Bubbles will still stop them, but no worry about single inty chasing you in a bubble (any camp should be bigger thant one inty).

Want a tech 2 shuttle? Fit an MWD on a Slasher and there you go.

Did that with executionner and atron too, it works properly, and the cargo is better, and you get locked on faster while it warps quite slower.
It has always been our best cheap option, just looking for another (a shuttle is small enough to fit packaged in some ship's cargohold, not only industrials, that's what I like most).

what i'd do is to fit a interceptor with a cloak the best named MWD +all lows full of nanofibers and you got a tech 2 interceptor that have superior speed, aceleration, cargo AND warpspeed. ofcorse it's an easy target but you should be able to even run right into a small med sized bubble and run away..

Well it is just a thought I came up with a wile back so it was worth a shot regardless.

Sounds like you're looking for is a scout.
Something like:
1. No cargo hold
2. 1 high slot but no weapon hard points
3. 2 mid slot
3. 2 low slots
4. Very low signature
Gives you the ability to fit some nice gear to allow you to get in, look around, jamming and get out without being detected.
If it's needed or not is another question

Nice, I would eventually add an in built afterburner feature (not the space for a module), maybe using some sort of fuel (the rocket fuel from the NPC store?) for a very limited extra burst of speed.
You can even call them something different like "fast courier". Essentially a 1 man, very fast, small cargo ship, the ideal for very fast secure delyveries.
Re-reading the proposal, it can have a decreased signature for every level in interceptor skill, with a lower signature than a T1 shuttle at rank 5.

Personally, i think a T2 shuttle could be a nice touch. However, like all the T2 variants of other ships, it should only be a slight increase of the T1 version, ie: no slots at all, slightly higher (10-25%) shield/armour/hull & speed.
Obviously as a T2 ship the construction cost, and thus the sale price, would be higher.

Would be completely worthless, and overly expensive. Just grab a executioner, slap on 2 t1 overdrives, and a t1 mwd, and you have a boat that goes 4km/s and can warp faster than a shuttle for ~150k

I've always wondered why shuttles have cpu and power grid, but no slots at all.
