Kwint Sommer Incoherent Inc Otaku Invasion	Posted - 2007.12.28 19:26:00 - [1] I have 3 issues with Riethe's 10B prediction: They aren't going to nerf Carrier or Dread's direct hauling capacity. If they take away cargo space then they can't be affectively used in combat. They might prevent freighters from carrying charges in a carrier which would hurt their ability to haul raw materials but that was already pretty limited. Rorquals. A cargo expanded rorqual can directly transport quite a lot and this is its intended purpose. It can't manage quite as much as a jump freighter but it has a vastly superior tank and only costs 2B. For small stuff Carriers and Dreads will continue to work and for big commercial hauling the Rorqual -at a much lower price point and vastly higher survivability- will be the favorite. There are uses for the Jump Freighters and some people will buy them but unless they drop to twice the price of a Rorqual you aren't going to see a lot of them and given the number of people buying Freighter BPO's I suspect the market will be heavily saturated at 7B. ___________________________________________ 5% Mining Implants & 5% Manufacturing Implants *From 110M to 150M
Kwint Sommer Incoherent Inc Otaku Invasion	Posted - 2007.12.31 01:31:00 - [2] Originally by: Tensa Edited by: Tensa on 30/12/2007 23:48:39 CCP has done awesome with the idea of jump freighters, imo. I also believe that ships should have their place. I think it would be a good idea to make deep space transports (t2 industrial) have a miniature jump drive on it for smaller ranged, smaller volume transports. Not enough to transport big ships, but enough to transport things like ammo and such. Then make it to where these drives can only be used once every 24 hours(it takes alot out of the smaller ships to propel itself through the universe without the aide of a jumpgate.) This way Blockade runners and normal industrials will still have their place by moving items from the dropoff point and distributing them throughout the region. Maybe have it to where the Deep space transports can only key into POS setup cynos, because they are the only ones able to generate the power it takes for a ship with much smaller power than Capital ships to jump to it. Just ideas. Ha? Seriously, I don't think even CCP would agree that JF's turned out well seeing as they thought they'd cost half what they do so I don't really think they can be called a success. Simply because a small corp can buy one doesn't mean that it's wise or economical. When more than a quarter of your assets are locked up in your transport that really cuts into your profit margin. Not to mention the old adage, don't fly what you can't afford to loose. Especially when it has a paper thin tank compared to, well, any other transport including a Rorqual. I disagree that CCP only intends Rorquals for hauling ore. They've never stated that and they've never indicated that it needs change. I went through the list of alternatives and what I think will happen to them. Simply put, for small jobs there are Carriers and Dreadnoughts and for the big stuff there's Rorquals which are so much cheaper and more durable than JF's that I expect they'll see a lot more of them than JF's and given the crazy number of Freighter BPO's being bought JF's will be overproduced for the price point they are currently at. ___________________________________________ 5% Mining Implants & 5% Manufacturing Implants *From 110M to 150M
