well to cut to the chase eve needs a ship that can carry other ships. nothing real big or bad just a large ship bay and cargo bay and a ammo hold with drones.

ok to start

take the orca space frame and give it a couple of guns and then keep the low and mid slots the same as the orca now

but the cargo and drone bay ramp them up and the ship bay ramp that up a lot. i like to take my drake and other ships around the map doing dead space and i use my drake and my noctis for that and i hate the idea of tearing down my noctis every time i move so just ask me if you want more i will post more as i think of it too

well it would be very useful to the gankers for mass attacks i mean you could haul freig and other ships to gank rookies

just trying to do a new ship for eve

i think the OP meant he wants a super Orca that is allowed in hisec

O_o?

I would tend to agree that maybe something could be cool. Maybe like an alternate freighter design.

Otherwise I think the existing ships mentioned cover most of the current bases for this (orca, carrier etc). If you need something with a larger ship hauling capacity, some sort of freighter would make sense.

Or maybe a mod that can convert a freighter's cargohold to carry ships rather than regular goods.

OR

Maybe some specialized container, similar to the way a ship is handled for a courier contract. That would at least allow people to carry their own ships in their own freighters without having to go through the hassle of contracting it to themselves.

It's come up before, mainly as a means of transporting rigged ships to market.

see you guys are not seeing the other uses of this thing i mean really just look at the idea of banking you could bank fast

Actually, the idea is feasible and has merit. One thing EVE doesn't have, is a proper logistics carrier. Pretty much all the carriers in EVE are really just Drone Carriers and have virtually no Hangar capacity. Same goes for Industrial Carriers like the Orca.

Wouldn't you like it if you could have a non-combat support carrier with essentially just Hangar Capacity and buffer that's allowed in highsec? CCP has already taken care of the Orca exploit as far as I know; so they could just apply the same rules to this.

Actually, make it super useful, and have both Cargo capacity and Hangar capacity; with utilzation of one decreasing the others capacity equally. So if you toss 300K m3 in the Cargo, you lose it in the Hangar too. No Corp hangars either; just the ability to designate ship hangar and cargo bay to corp access or no access individually.
