So it's real simple. Sometimes you are in the situation where:

  • Itty V doesn't haul enough (and is too flimsy)
  • A freighters is overkill
  • An orca is not an option because of the mining-related skills needed


Enter the "Mini-Freighter".
It has the same skill requirements as a normal freighter and is in the same maket group / ship class. Again, no fittings - just like their big brothers.

They'll hold around 75km3 - 150km3 depending on race and skill level. They'll also have appropriately scaled down EHPs from the big boys.



tl;dr Ocra-like ship for hauling without mining skills requirements

Orca after June 4th

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

worlds better for sure, but still the need for Mining Director I.


Not a terrible trade-off for having fitting slots/rigs I suppose. But still a bit specialized
towards hauling mining-related items (at least in part).


thx
