Indeed, Jack. Would be nice to see this class of vessel in game. |

Essentially they'd be like ship hangar arrays in POSes but mobile and with the typical supercarrier tank. You can change strategies on the fly with them, and replace losses very quickly. It'd also be even more of a pain to lose.
Then you could remove the turrets from Titans and tweak the way doomsdays work to be a solid counter. Two birds, one stone. Supercap problem solved. Supercarriers function more like carriers ought to, and Titans are no longer wtfbbqpwnmobiles to anything but cap ships.
Would be interesting to hear your idea as to how a super carrier would be allowed into hi sec, or do people only move ships in null/low sec? |

Letting any capital ships into high sec would be a bad idea IMO. Carriers are only slightly larger than freighters to begin with, yet they cant use jump gates, which leads me to believe that they aren't allowed in high sec because concord doesn't want them there. A freighter designed to carry rigged ships would need to be bigger than a standard freighter I would think, so why not make it a teir 2 freighter instead of tech 2? Then you could always add a tech 2 variant of your ship hauler with a lowered maint bay capacity and a jump drive.
I was being sardonic with that post.
What I actually meant was don't just assume that this proposal is for low/null sec as people do still need to move ships around hi sec space as well.
This proposal would benefit all.
Oh and by the way? Freighters, Jump Freighters and Orcas are capital ships and they are already used in hi sec. As long as this ship does not have a direct combat capability, it would just be following on from the capital ships already allowed in hi sec.
Still would like to see a Tug class ship solely for moving ships. |

We seem to be missing a Tug class ship here. Would be nice to see these in game. |

I don't think Jack was bumping. I think he was highlighting a need for further exposure to a good idea and was very eager to garner more support by keeping this topic in the eyes of his peers.
If he was, I am sure he meant no offence or to break any rules as Jack is a very fine and upstanding player of EVE that would never break any rules.
Saying that, this is a good idea and I doubt it would break the the game to have a ship dedicated to the moving of other ships. Another isk sink that CCP is very fond of.
