I absolutely love this idea.
It would be kinda like a non combat high sec carrier.(an ORCA can not hold even a single battleship)
currently at best using courier contracts with max skills you can put two fitted battleships in a freighter. most rigged fitted battleships when put in a courier package are over 400,000m3.
to have a new freighter style ship big enough to hold 3-4 fitted battleships but in a ships only bay that can not hold normal cargo.
It is a pain when moving across the galaxy to have to fly all the battleships with rigs that you do not want to lose. True you can always sell them and rebuy or take packaged ones with you, but having a ship that could carry multiple battleships through high sec would be really great. |

I think a ship like this should be tier 3 or 4. Make it require racial freighter 5
It would fill the gap in capital ships between the regular freighters and jump freighters. Much like the covetor is a step between the retriever and hulk but needs level 5 skills.
If it was to be an ORE ship it would be cool to have it a tech 2 version of the ORCA. Drop it to 1 utility high slot, no gang link modules, no ORE hold, minimal cargo hold, leave the corp hanger, drastically increase the ship maintenance hanger so it can hold 2-3 battleships. No jump drive as there would be no room for it with the expanded ship maintenance hanger. and you could customize the tank, passive buffer tank or active tank how ever you see fit. |

Now ships from ship maintenance bay are not dropping into a wreck (as well as corporate hangars content). When this will be fixed (for all ships - carrier, orca, etc), then it's time to introduce such 'thug' ships, imho. Agreed. Getting SMAs and corp hangars to drop loot really needs to be done.
For added depth it would be cool if items/ships in the corp hanger or ship maintenance arrays dropped in locked containers that needed to be hacked before being looted. It would add some differentiation between regular cargo and give the owner a chance to retrieve the stuff before it gets looted.
ships though might have to drop as a whole ship as in sitting in space with no pilot as the only ship capable of looting an assembled battleship would be a carrier. then the tug/freighter pilot could try to jump into one of the ships that dropped when they get ganked. |
