We have jump freighters which are cool and come in handy..
And I have one but something smaller non cap would be cool for small supply runs...
It would function just like a jump freighter but hauler sized..
T3 Haulers???

Not a bad idea, actually.

I could see CCP making a jump hauler with ~20,000 m3 that costs like 200million isk, that way you can move stuff yourself without having to wait for a supply run or without dropping 7 billion isk for a ship you'll only occasionally use. That seems like it'd be pretty helpful for getting people into nullsec, although I don't know how easy or hard moving should be for game balance.

This is a signature.

It has a 25m signature.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

Probably.

Btw my corp's recruiting.

My thoughts exactly..
And even if it cost 500-600mil, It would be worth it..
It would greatly improve logistics ..
Build costs would probably be about the same as a hac..

The only problems I really see with it, is that, at a game level standpoint, CCP may not want nullsec to be any more easily accessible. It's supposed to be hard to get and survive in, but give lots of rewards, even though its not really profitable in practice. I suppose that's up to CCP to decide, but as long as it can only haul a small amount, to keep it from being abused, I could see it having a useful and balanced place in eve.

I don't see how it could be abused..
I don't see how it could increase the population in 0.0 but if it did isn't that what everyone's been wanting???
With a 20k cargo hold you're not hauling much..
And it would take more fuel trying to move a large amount making multiple runs then it would to have a jf make the run once...

How could it cost 500-600 mill if you put the build cost around HAC level?

Yes, please let us go back to being able to jump the length of the galaxy in ~30 minutes.

How would this change anything? It'd be a small enough bay to only use for small stuff, and can only jump as far and often as normal.

Yeah because a small hauler able to jump like a JF is game breaking...
it's nothing that's not already available in game, all i'd like to do is downsize a bit...
hell blackops can do it...
if anything is OP or game breaking that is...

Personally i think it's a pretty good idea to be honest...

meh.. can't please everyone...

It's not jumping to the hauler that matters, it's getting me there to fly my real ships...

I'm sure OP forgot to mention that T3 hauler should have ability to use jump portal field grnerator.

"The message is that there are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know" - CCP

maybe add that option but I would not to tie it in with Blackops crap that would defeat the purpose...

It just needs the ability to function like Jump freighters.

Yall projection creep guys need to chill, black ops is by far the best ship to cyno around in due to its superior range combined with fatigue reduction. This ship would inherit the standard 5 ly jump range of the jump freighter.
Considering this is a good idea I would take it to reddit since it will get more attention from both devs and players there.

Sounds like a huge buff to Black Legion's HAC-in-a-box doctrine.

Did you realize that cloaky haulers fit quite nicely your requirements?
May except for the own jump drive and a little less cargo...

And since you want to haul something into null I'm considering you're part of an comunity.
So what about you may ask some of your fellows to bridge you around with their shiny black ops?

Seems to me that obsoleting Blockade Runners and replacing them with a even more difficult to catch ship with a higher cargo capacity is pandering to risk aversion and a real step backwards.

Not supported.
