So when is CCP going to introduce the mini-freighters?
Cargo, around 150k m3, price around 100-150 mils.

There's no point to them.
Just use a normal freighter, or use several indys (my ity mk3 will haul 34k of ore with cans, or 25k of POS for instance), or just take the time to do several trips if you're on your own.
These would only be used by people who are untidy, have crap all over and want to tidy it all up.
Get support from your corp if you're moving, mini-freighters will never be put in.

In all honesty why should we be forced to train some stupid gallente ship just to be good at hauling stuff? A nice affordable minifreighter would be a nice addition and might even out the unbalanced Itty 5 > All.

Huh?
My Bustard hauls 40km3 with cans :/ Ity 5 doesnt outdo that.
Besides,,, the different sides arent really supposed to be balanced imo.
It's like the eternal Caldari are PVE race / minmataar are PvP race argument,, they're supposed to be different with different advantages/disadvantages. One reason I didnt pick gallente is because I figured being the freedom loving democracy they are, they'd suffer a little at PvP,, be more defensive/trading/mining people. So a uber hauler sounds about right regarding the gallente.
Otherwise,, why dont caldari have any decent craft with lasers?

Wow... nobody has gotten the point. (OK not nobody. but not the most vocal people)
Carrier = combat/logistics ship that happens to be able to haul a fair amount of cargo. Cost about 700-800 mil. Cargo capacity ~ 70k m3 (two rigged/expanded haulers in the hold + its own cargo using cans)
Freighter = worthless unless you're hauling enormous amounts of stuff. Can't cyno. Can't do anything other than move slowly and carry HUGE stuff. Cost about a bil. Cargo cap around 700M m3
Industrial = hauler. Carries stuff. Can't cyno. Can't tank crap if it's using the expanders. Slow. CHEAP! Cost <1mil. capacity 6500-47k
T2 industrials= big, slow bruisers or fast, nimble hauler. Costs vary widely from 14M to 80+. Cargo varies from under 5k to about 50k m3.
So the OP is saying that there is a rather large gap between the 100M Fully teched out Industrials/DSTs and the carrier/freighter option. A disparity of over half a bil in cost and a factor of 10-20 for cargo capacity.
To the lunchbox who said "There's no point." There's no point in having something between a frigate and a Battleship? I mean come on. If you want to go fast, use a frig. If you want to shoot things, you need a BS. it's that simple, right? Think first. Then type. Then think again.
Real reason we aren't seeing them: There's a HUGE graphics update on its way. I don't think they'll be putting any new models into the game until that's released. rendering takes a lot of time and thus costs a lot of money. To introduce these before the update means they have to render it twice- once for each engine. So don't hold your breath.
Anyway. Signed as always. I think we need something between BS and cap ships. mini-caps. Pocket carriers, micro-dreads/ship of the line, small freighter/massive industrial... There is a huge space to fill.

A Light Freighter has been talked about since Freighters were on the drawing board, CCP doesn't care.
