Player Features and Ideas Discussion

There should be a nother freighter class for regular players.

- Well u fly industrial and get around 40k m³
- ?????????????????????????????????
- Than the next step is a freighter with 900k m³

The orca is a totaly different skill line... (and to small)
(and dont get startet with jump freighters - same problem + way more expensiv!)


CCP i think u have to change this finaly and fill the gap, since u fixed the mining system.

Something u can build with just a bpc - and without capital parts.

The price could simple be 50% of a freighter (for 50% of its storage).
40k -> 350k -> 900k ? Would that be okay?

(if u want limit the freighter potential by special modules (like each modules adds 30k m³ - also fine.
so its for 00 - m³ or .......... what ever they want to put in - but just a few module slots! may even just lowslots)

This is just A EXAMPLE. Details is up to the admin in case of balancing it.


The freighter also may should be able to barely steal it self into big wormholes.
Right now its allmost embarissing to use industrials and warp 30 times in and out - everytime u got some bigger project on the move.
May this could be a faction or T2 variante that got a special role bonus for that "wormholestabilizer?"


Je... im de sexy

40 k m³ in a Industrial you dont have to fit 5 cargo extenders in a Industrial, that is only a gank magnet.

But i agree that there should be some big Haulers with around 300 k m³ cargo, to transport something like 3 cruiser or BC + equipment without using an Orca. And maybe this bigger Hauler should get some other ability like an option to resupply and refit like a carrier, but it still can´t deploy an packed ship.

I think they could use the size of a BS, and maybe armed a bit.

Good luck!

Obviously you have never owned one. They have tiny cargohold for what one would expect from T2.

The T2 industrials are good enough with there cargo. If you want to transport more then 10 k m³ I hope you only carry low value stuff, cause everything more is too risky in an Industrial.

Ok in comparison to the rebalanced mining frig they need to be buffed, espacially their cargo. You normally can only carry the ore of one Hulk which is really lame.
But Blockade Runner already have the same raw EHP like a BC and higher warp stability and DST´s got a Cloak, the raw EHP of Cruiser and a Inertia of a Frig. The only problem is that you can only use these ships for level 4 logistic missions and not really for economical hauling (except high value faction & officer stuff maybe and T2-Frigs).

A smaller frighter which can carry around 100 -200 k m³ (+ ship bonus) would be really nice. I think then you can transport a packed BS if I am not wrong (didn´t find the volume of a packed one anywhere). And a t2 version maybe should get some nice new abilities like field supply i mentioned above.
