I like the idea, not sure I like JD capable variant. I also really like taking pods of new recruits. All the fun of seeing this ship pop and out comes immobile ships and pods scattering like roaches. :)

Would be even cooler if the pods randomly dropped like loot as well. Meaning some pods just won't survive the crash.

The tug should have a special module which allows for tractoring empty sub-capital ships in space.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

Support. If it must have a JD, give it the worst JD possible.... outrageous fuel cost

Fair enough, even though only the T2 variant (eventual) would be jump capable. Was thinking fuel cost on par with a JF plus some.

So basically... a carrier that instead of launching AI controlled fighters it launches player ships? I like it!

What purpose exactly does this serve...? How much do those rigs really cost? If you made such a ship, it's step quite a bit into the region of the carrier, which has one of it's roles to be a ship transport in low/null. All you need to do, Is allow freighters to move assembled ships aswell, unless they already can, in which case, no change is needed. Having them moved via courier is also not the worst thing, and to those that say you can't courier to yourself, I'm pretty sure you could make an alt and courier to yourself.

We already have the freighter and jump freighter for highsec as well as the orca, add in the rorqual, carriers, super carriers and titans for low and null. Do we Really need more ships to move other ships?

It doesn't launch player ships. It can transport them. It will be incapable of launching ships in space. The only way it will be able to interact with ships in space is with a POS Ship Maintenance Array (so that it can't be utilized like an Orca).

And to answer the question about rigs, when it comes to certain vessels, rigs can be pricey (especially if you're talking large rigs, or T2 rigs). The point of this is to facilitate improved logistics, and to plug a hole for transport purposes. Sure, using an alt to transport utilizing courier contracts is all fine and dandy, but not everyone has the money to have more than one account, or has the time to train a second account while they take care of RL stuff, or their main accounts.

The whole reason I even bothered to train an Orca in the first place was to move my own ships around without having to constantly buy new rigs. Part of the reason I stopped flying battleships is because they wouldn't fit into an Orca.

Furthermore, it seems that in the deep dark reaches of Null there are logistics corporations whose sole function is to supply their respective alliances/coalitions with fully-fitted, doctrine-complaint, ready-to-go ships brought to wherever the front lines are. Something like this, perhaps, might be beneficial to those efforts.

Anyway, a ship like this is very relevant to my interests and so I'll definitely give it a +1.
