Actually, if you had bothered to check my employment history you'll see I am a former pilot out of the Curse Region back when RA was trying to storm over it way back ago. And the reason I'm in DCI is because the last corp I left -- half a week ago -- I actually joined temporarily to help them get rid of high sec griefers that had wardeced them. Ask their CEO if you don't believe me. Oh and one more thing: I haven't trained freighters yet, either. This is yet another example of possibly fallacious deductive reasoning. Be careful when using a corporation name to sum up a player's entire existence next time.
Anyways, as of right now I'm currently rebuilding my wallet reserves with missions so I have been hit by the module size increase as well. But I see it as a good thing; as I said cargo ships (transports, freighters, large cruisers) will now have to be employed more often to haul supplies and loot. I always found it kind of silly, and perhaps even abusive to have CovOps frigates being able to do a high-to-low-sec freight run to equip an entire dozen smaller T2 ships -- or even more. I believe frigates shouldn't be able to haul over twenty battleship turrets in a single freight run. Cargo should take up a remotely realistic amount of space, so I support the move.
By your Logic a Truck would not be able to move 20 wheels, but I can tell you, they fit a lot more then that. I have seen trucks moving 20-30 cars at time, Or hell, they even moved a space ship 7 towns on the back of the truck, and guess what, the ship was ALOT bigger then the Truck.
Also, Freighters are big hollow cubes, so battleships might be bigger, but they have a lot less space because of all the weapons and the like.
Also, as a Final point, In the Eve universe, they have teleporters, Mining lasers that can extract only one type of ore out of the hundreds inside the roid, Hell, they have a ship that can instantly travel 1000's of light years, using Water as a fule. I do not find it that much harder to believe that there refining abilities have gotten to the point where you can remove all the Iron or something from a device with almost 100% perfection.
Think Star Trak, with the Replicators, they use solid mater, and then recombine that matter to form something else, and then use the left over matter to make the next thing. Its just Recycling.
Also, Its very possible to compress things in this day and age, get a Gas, cool it down and it compresses itself. You can also compress metals into Alloys that will take up less SPACE then both metals before combining them. They might weigh the same, but in space, weight means nothing, the density and the volume of the object is all that matters, and its very easy to make objects more dense, and take up less volume.
So, this change does not have any real bases in Real life, as its real life somewhere in the very distant future where they have the ability to change matter on the scale of a atom.
