CCP Please.

Angel Cartel Deepspace transport --
+50% warp acceleration
+50% warp speed
+10% agility / level
+10% fleet hangar space per level.

Joint venture between Thukker and Angel but you can make it Minmatar/Gallente I'm not picky

Bill it to my wife please or tell her to train a fukn' DST herself pls thanks.

Hmm, not that I remember. Wasn't in the last few tournament and this year we have the corpse-bay -erm Blood Raider yolo OMG-WFT-BBQ-PWN-mobile.

If I remember the angel ones got a recon and a frigate.

This could be the first pirate faction hauler.

Why not? They need to move all those illicit goods around somehow. I would think, lore wise, the Sepentis would make a better candidate for this being that they need to haul all those drugs around. I think that further expansion of pirate faction ship lines is good because of the unique roles they can fill. Pirate shield and armor logi, haulers, maybe even pirate command ships for the new links. Keep them below T2, but let these specialist roles be filled.

So a Leopard with a corp bay?

Eh, a Prowler? I mean it's not the same buffs, but hey it is at least faster than a DST and it's Minmatar, right? It's even built to be sneaky ninja.

i like this idea and the OP post...

would be a nice addition to eve.

New ships are always nice if they fill a niche but I kinda agree with Luscius in that you can already do a lot atm. E.g. although my trade alts are based in Jita and rarely move around if they want to travel they use T1 frigates with T1 hyperspatial rigs and warp as fast as an intie.

While I prefer to outsource hauling to the Haulers Channel, on the rare occasions that I do haul stuff in a DST I dual-prop it with AB and MWD. To follow on from what Luscius says, align to out gate, one cycle of MWD and you are in warp in half the time it takes without a prop mod. Then you can add hyperspace rigs and hardwires as well for even faster travel.

Still, if there is a niche that can be filled at a reasonable price/performance tradeoff I have no objection to that.

Mine has enough inertial stabs to align faster than the 10 sec a MWD needs to cycle; a nice strong shieldtank in the mids and a MWD + cloak just for those occasions;

I already fly a hauler clone but you're right about the rigs-- one hyperspatial accelerator in the lows and two rigs may indeed yield something akin to the desired result. My mastodon is a very old fit, built it a year and a half ago with lowsec in mind- perhaps I need to redesign a highsec warptunnel optimized long-hauler.

Back then that one ship could hold everything I owned; now that I find myself making more and longer trips I'm looking for an in-between solution (like someone else suggested on F&I) holding either more cargo or going considerably faster.

I'll see where the rigs take me. Probably not entirely to where I want it to be, but it's a start- thanks.
