With the coming (nerf?) changes to jump drives in range and fatigue, how about boosting the freighters, JFs and deep space transports? Heck even boost the cargo capacity of carriers a little.

It is already a dull job supplying null sec with ships, modules, fuel and more and I doubt the jump change will make it more fun.

For freighters and jump freighters, how about increasing their cargo capacity with 100-300%? To avoid station eggs and the like from being transported in JFs, just increase the cargo space required from stuff you still want limited in transportation.

Boost the fleet hanger of Deep Space Transports with 50% and Ship hanger of carriers, supers and titans with a likewise 50%.

These changes will soften the logistical work and still make it hard/difficult to move a lot of players in no time.

I suppose you either missed or highly disagree with the industry for nullsec is suppost to happen IN nullsec.
That is what CCP more or less wants, so they make changes based on that, including giving nullsec huge industry advantages

Funny thing about this is....indy alts who build stuff is a very common alt. Or even skills on the main. Many have this in place right now.

Even funnier is many for years built in 0.0 and shipped to empire. Even if it was just "ore compression" via items. All they have to do is do the same thing....and skip the ship to empire and melt down part. CCP is saving them steps here lol.

Perhaps some boost to JFs will be needed thought it will probable be in the dorm of defense (speed or tank) however let's wait to see what affect these changes have first. But regardless we don't need 4 mill m3 freighters

The point is that logistics are supposed to become more difficult, not kept the same or made easier.
