As a space trucker, I support this idea (as I did in Features & Ideas Discussion).
Although, Drake Draconis brings up a good point. I the following:
Maximum locked targets: -5
So no number of signal amps would be able to allow them to lock a target, even on the 5-low slot variant.
When I thought about these ships and proposed their per-level bonuses, I did so with the idea in mind that they would have these mid and low slots which is why I think they should be kept.
Also, the Support Tug per-level bonus of +0.6 Warp Stability per level was intended as part of the tech 2 variant and would, of course, either have to be dropped or re-implemented as a freighter per-level bonus. If the +0.6 Warp Strength were to be implemented, I would definitely take a significant amount out of their agility. |

Would be even more awesome if the ships in the bay had a chance to fall out as loot when the transport explodes.
I, personally, have no qualms with this idea. Imagine the chaos that would ensue. |

Just make it an ORE ship.
There are multiple reason you would not have a single ORE ship:
- RP Reason: Of the non-empire factions the ORE is the least likely to be using one of these for hauling entire ships around - they already have a ship for that. This task would likely fall to the InterBus. InterBus maintains careful neutrality and would not be caught dead ferrying anything that could be considered militaristic (ie: warships). This is what makes Imperial Shipment, CBD Corporation, Transstellar Shipping, and Freedom Extension stay in business.
- Practical RP reason: An ORE variant of the ship would have the highest amount of HP in shields. Amarr and Gallente would make their own versions that would be more suited for being supported by Oneires. Guardians, Thanates, or Archons.
- Practical reason: Many pilots have already trained one racial Industrial to V for the use of blockade runners, deep space transports, or freighters. This ship is designed to be useful not only from the perspective of industrial pilots but also from the point of combat pilots that are changing base.

To be honest, I see it as just over the cost of a freighter. It's intended (I believe) at the moment to be a tier 2 freighter (Same ratio as the Dominix vs the Megathron etc) and would be priced as such. |

ORE wouldn't make something like this because, let's be honest, they don't need to. Their "security" is currently provided by the Serpentis and when things are going well for them they contract out to Mordu's Legion. All of their ships can easily be hauled around in a Rorqual or Orca.
If we wanted to ascribe these ships to any neutral NPC it would likely be InterBus, which would only work if we said it was a stolen InterBus design, as they themselves would never release it to any single Empire. |

Monolith Proposal
Monolith is done. Took me longer than expected. Might want to take a break before doing the other 3. |
