Fairly Short and easy - a T1 hauler for Moon Goo along the lines of the other specialised haulers

I do realise that this is a fairly niche area on the player spectrum but I would argue that the others aren't all that broad either:

PI: Probably the broadest of all of them IMO plenty of people do PI (mostly on alts as a passive income)
Ore: Couple per mining op maybe?
Minerals: For those who can't afford a freighter - even with it's increased capacity you can't build very much with what it can carry.
Ammo: Honestly couldn't think of many people who carry 60km3 until someone mentioned FW cashing in LPs for Faction Ammo to sell.

Seems like a missed role to me.

Obviously no one but me feels particularly strongly about this!

I'll bump it and then let it fade...

the role could be added to one of the others - for example IMO PI is fairly close in type

It would also be used by people building t2 stuff

+1 to this.
Null groups probably wouldn't use it due to the bulk they normally shift, so previously I would have shrugged and said "bad idea", but with the new siphon module, it would be a good addition to complement that.

Hadn't thought of it that way... could be interesting with the siphons though I would imagine that BRs would be used.

Doing some moon mining myself I use a (Badger Mk2) to ship raw products between moons and to drop off / pick up points and then use a JF to get it to Empire to sell, I have been know to use the JF to move stuff between moons but generally I leave a hauler in system and use that.

Basically with all teh hauler revamp I've been feeling a little left out... Cry

I like the idea. I'd also like to suggest one that specializes in Fuel Blocks.

The industrial changes seem to have the best 'use case' in w-space (totally happy about that as well, mind) as volume carried/mass is always a concern.

I'm right behind you

Haden't though of the mass considerations with Wspace - interesting

Fuel blocks would also be another that has been missed out

I thought I did have about the moon goo hauler not existing is that CCP have ignored it on purpose as part of their nerfing of moon goo...
