If anyone has a comprehensive list of what freighters can and can not do, please post it, thank you.
Specifically, things like:
A) Can a freighter load/unload cargo of any kind at POS Corp Hangars, and B) Can you launch structures (eg, Control Towers) from a freighter?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Freighters can do anything you normally do with any other ship so long as it doesn't involve any modules or fittings.
Whether you do that or not is a different question... as freighters are nothing more than giant cargo cans with engines. |

Yeah... really.
Depending on permission's and roles for the various hangers.
A freighter is just like any other ship... only no fancy things.. no combat roles... no slots of any kind.
Just a flying cargo can.
: O P
Jump Freighters are only slightly different in the way they have a jump drive.... afik.
Thing is tho... they are very..very...slow....so.. yeah... may not be very efficient. |

False. You can't jettison from a freighter, and you can't scoop to its hold (unless you're scooping from a freighter wreck I think). There's other limitations (around POSes etc) but I don't have experience with that so I'll let someone else go there. |

While you are within a POS bubble, you can access POS hangars, and potentially pick up dropped items; I think it's okay as long as you're in the bubble, but I could be wrong very easily. You can launch items for the corp from a freighter, but you CANNOT pick them back up from space. Found that one out the hard way when I realized I set the control tower down at the wrong spot -.- Of course, once that POS bubble goes up, I -think- you're then allowed to. I honestly haven't tested it.
You can't pick anything up from space without a POS shield around you, can't jettison cans I believe, etc. You can however -try- to take from a can in space, and it will flag you as a thief to whoever you tried to take from, if outside of your corp...Then tell you you can't take it. I saw a killmail from that once, pretty funny.

Ok... that I didn't know... nor did I try either.
Not that I would use a freighter for that sort of thing either.
Interesting they would lock those functionalities out. |

They would've been THE mining hauler if they didn't. A single hauler handling all hauling for an entire op.
