  • why cant we have dynamic sized cargo compartments? just a logical division for you where you want to put stuff. the sum of all compartments would equal the total cargo capacity, but have several renameable tabs to put stuff in. ... so your frig and stuff could go in such a compartment. it would basically just allow you to tag items

    I'm for this.

    Reduce the requirements to make freighters, thus making them cheaper.

    Then make compartments that can bought independantly.

    This way, you can have several different compartments.

    Fitted ship compartments.
    Corperate hanger compartments.
    Cargo compartments.
    Ore compartments. ( possibly that comes with a compression module similar to that of the rorqual)
    and any other compartments you would think you might need.

    This means you can customize each ship you want based on what you want to carry.

    When you add compartments that are the same type, they link together forming one solid compartment.

    Reduce the requirements to make freighters to the point where the cost of the freighter and the amount of compartments that it can fit are, when combined, equal to the current costs of a freighter. The more different compartments you want so you can have several options, then the more money it will cost you over all, but without having to buy several different ships and fit each one individually for different uses.

    This would make freighter life much better for everyone involved.

    As someone who runs with my cargo hold completely full 90% of the time, I'd only support ideas that modify my freighter if there would be no impact on the volume of my hold. For what it's worth, I carry a repackaged shuttle in the hold the other 10% of the time.

    It amazes me how some people seem to miss the point completely. I'll say it again for those not listening. The point is to give the devs an easy and simple solution to a small problem that will help allot of pilots quickly. If you want to reinvent the wheel please feel free to write it up in detail and link it here.

    I agree that this bay should not reduce the current cargo area any.

    SCrew this all I want is to be able to haul my ships around in a freighter. An Orca is all well and good but if you are hauling multiple BCs or a BS it just doesn't cut it.
