A freighter is just that, a freighter... freight as in cargo carrying, not a weapons platform. Freighters rely on other ships to protect them

Also ONE reason freighters do not and will never have rig or low slots is because if they got any larger cargo bays then capital ships would be capeable of being transported into highsec, and no-one wants that for many reasons. [)
And before you say "but then reduce the base cargo capacity of the freighters" that would be pointless because then people would just fit cargo rigs and expanders and totaley defeat the point of haveing slots for a tank, not to mention that people would whine like hell about haveing there cargo capacity nurfed.
I hear this every time someone talks about lows on a freighter, and it's simply another diversionary tactic. Coding in barriers to capships in order to make them uncarryable in freighters would be easy. There is no good reason for a freighter, a capital ship, should not have some sort of minimal way to protect itself. Something that would make the sort of ganking based on mathematical calculation of damage vs static resists, shield, armor and hull to within +/- 10% a thing of the past.
There is no good reason not to give freighters a lowslot.
You can give freighters 8 of all slots... but good luck with the 1 cpu/PG thing 
You know, it's strange... but maybe CCP WANTED freighters to be well... freighters?
and they are NOT capital ships... capital ships require the skill Capital ships, and they have a jumpdrive, and they're not allowed in highsec...
btw, I think banishing freighters to lowsec/0.0 is the best idea I've had ever

I know that transportation companies HIRE MERCS to defend their ships in areas known for pirates
