With WTZ now, I feel that the speed bonus for Freighters is a bit lame. Freighters and such have practically no speed and a 5% increase amounts to a waste of time. The only reason for people to train higher than lvl1 is to get the capacity bonus.
Freighters in partcular have a hard time, no fitting for any mods means that a 25% speed increase is going to do bugger all to help if webbed and scrammed.
If this bonus was changed to an agility bonus, it would help and give more reason for people to train the skill other than being able to haul a bit more cargo. A 25% increase in agility for lvl5 makes the skill worthwhile considering the rank. Changing it to a 5% per level increase in agility means that freighter pilots can use skills to get the edge with regards to survivability.
No, I'm not talking about highsec either. Jump Freighters are just as vulnerable and an increase in agility to get them into warp that bit faster would give a reason to have lvl5 in that skill. Freighters are hardly ever used in lowsec and with no ability to make them get into warp any faster without implants means they'll stay in highsec. Now that CCP have pretty near killed the webbing trick by reducing the web efficiency, it makes hauling with a Freighter or JF even more dangerous.

While I would agree the speed bonus on freighters is pointless, I would disagree with an agility bonus, as that in essense is a defensive bonus. The speed bonus should be replaced with one that reduces travel time, but doesn't give a defenseive bonus. I say make it a bonus to warp speed.
There are already 2 skills that improve freighter agility, I don't see the need for a third.

I think freighters should get rig slots. Come on they are a capital ship give them something more then a big empty hull. Or at the very least make them a little more agile. I dont like waiting forever to align never mind if i get bumped or bump into something.

I agree something should be done with freighters and maybe an agility bonus is the key.

How about a 25% bonus to warp and sublight speed per level instead?

5% warp speed bonus to Freighters would be really neat. They are painfully slow at 0.7 AU/sec.
Alternatively, give them rig slots, but give them a role penalty so that cargohold size rigs require 10 times as much calibration as usual. That way, they can't be fitted, and so Freighters remain unable to reach a cargo capacity of 1 million cubic meters.

0.7AU warp speed + 25% = 0,875AU
Its not that big boost. I like the +5% agility bonus per lvl better.

I said 25% per level... thus 125% at lvl 5
Which would be approx 1.5au/s
Though... hm...
25% to warp speed and 5% to agility per level
