Would it be a good time for a new larger hauler class with a setup like a freighter. But smaller, maybe half the size cargo, with a single high-slot and able to fit a cov-ops cloak.
This would be useful in bringing market goods out into low sec and 0.0 to get players to build the market up more.

Solution exists: Carrier + T2 Cargo expanders + cloak.

That's not the same thing is it though? You can't warp cloaked in that setup and it needs a totally different, more time-consuming skill set than haulers/ freighters.

You can jump a good 14 or so light years at a time though... If you don't mind going a shorter distance per jump you can also get very high cargohold capacity in a Dreadnought.

I think it would be good to fill the size gap between the deep space transport and the freighter. But the t2 haulers are plenty difficult to catch already, a covert ops hauler would be ridiculously overpowered.

Do you think so? Not when 15 bs are waiting to gank you in high sec. This would force them to bring along a fast locking frigate to stop you cloaking and would make their job tougher.

Maxed carrier 30k of cargo hold + 10k corp hanger + 500k Ship hanger going from Amamake to Hysera in 1 jump or do 16 jumps in a freighter going 1AU per second that whole way...
Your call but i can tell you which is a better use of my time if i dont need to haul 900k worth of stuff.

0.6 AU/s actually, but I'm sure he'd propose that the cov-ops cloak ability also increases warp speed to 13.6 to be just as fast as the cov-ops frigs :P

What's really needed is to give T2 haulers more cap or less mass. Impel being limited to 60AU per warp with Warp Drive Operation III is a bit silly.

Warping cloaked isn't an issue when you cyno..  And the skill set needed to make a cargo Carrier (it *is* called a Carrier after all..  ) is in line with its superb usefulness.. So nah no real need for a cov-ops indy though to be fair I'd buy one in an instant if CCP made one available..

Cap battery.
But I still agree.

Going into low sec should have risks. Those risks can be worked around in other ways than this.

I would say something sarcastic about moving 500,000m3 of items in a ship with enormous HP and a covops cloak being a good idea but I'm too tired. No. This is an awful idea.

I can't believe I'm writing this, but I actually agree with murder for once...
Would something to fill the gap between freighters and transports be nice? Yes.
Should said ship fit a covops cloak? No.

I'm glad someone found my joke funny. Hope it took your mind off the NOS nerf for 5 mins.
Fun reading all the serious replies though. Tx.

So you're basically asking for an unkillable hauler.
That fits into the game how exactly?
If 15 BS are camping the gate in Jita waiting to gank you, then you should die and drop nice stuff.
They ganked a BoB Titan. Who are you that you should be immune from ganking?

what we need is a capital hauler that is purely designed for transporting cargo. i think it would be fair with 1/2 the capacity of a freighter, slightly less tanking ability than a carrier, and very weak offensive options.

Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless.
Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application. |
