Supported. It's definitely a gap in progression. ___ My views may not represent those of my corporation or alliance, which is why I never get invited to those diplomatic parties... |

I've been wanting to see this for a long time. Freighters are expensive, slow, unable to tank or defend themselves, carry WAY too much for what most players want, require big protection and generally, they are just a corp tool rather than a player tool. For the marketing industrial player, they are more trouble that they are worth.
Something smaller and can be fitted with a minor degree of protection, (even if it's only 2 or 3 midslots for a shield tank), is needed to bridge the gap. 100-200K cargo (carries 1 GFC with a small amount spare) and more agile than a freighter. The primary resource in Eve is ore so it should never be limited to not being able to carry it. I'm tired of moving large amounts of trit after a spell of mining to sell at a better price but needing 5 or more trips each time. An expanded itty with rigs carries 35K, that's only 3.5 million Tritanium, a pitiful amount compared to what a single person can mine in a session. However, a Freighter is overkill.
Even if a small Freighter was 200 million isk or so, it would be worth it. |

A light freighter would be nice around the 250k-350k range. |

Supported, I dreaded training freighter just to move around 100,000m3 of stuff and for a long time I just did multiple trips if the route was short enough. I'm sure most others had to same feeling.
So yes, a smaller cheaper freighter would be used a lot more then CCP realise I believe.

I support this idea.
I would love to see a smaller freighter, but nothing more then 100,000 m^3. After all, some freighter pilots do make money hauling large amounts of freight and wouldn't want to ruin it for them. Especially since they did train all the way up AND buy a full sized freighter. |

Enough to carry three BS at fully fitted, rigged, trained for the smaller freight would suffice for me. |

Edited by: Thorvald Finnin on 03/07/2008 18:15:35 Great idea and lovely to hear it got a favourable reception from CCP. If all the fittings it took was a WCS or two and a cloak, it would make hauling larger quantities of stuff from lowsec a little more comfortable than flying up and down 20 times through that gatecamp in an Occy
Oh, and if anybody wants to propose a super-freighter, they have my support too; I don't buy this "hardly ever use it" thing; my 900k Obelisk is full up ... again!

I support the introduction of a mid-line hauler, call it a 'Scow', but give it a substantial tank.
Make it limited to cargo access at POS, Stations, and Industrial Mining ships that are anchored. Make it capable of launching & recovering POS modules as well.
Give it some function, though - make it a sub-capital logistic ship with range & fitting bonuses to logistic modules, but no 'quantity' bonus as current logistic cruisers enjoy. This will enable it to support its fleet during an ambush. Give it, say, 4 utility high slots and BS scan res (and BS PG/Grid). Since it can't load in space putting tractors/salvagers on it would be a complete waste (though folks will try). Give it perhaps 1 or 2 mid slots, and 1 or 2 low (expanders won't increase it's cargo substantially beyond 120k m/3).

Ya would be nice if I could move that one or two battleships with out having to pull out my freighter would be nice. No catchy sig to see here, move along, move along. |

I support this idea. A smaller and a bit faster freighter would be very useful for small corps and miners. I can even see some use in low sec for POS maintanace.
