Hi just think it would be good to have even 1 rig slot on freighters. So you could add agility, more HP or warp speed or something. Even if it was a new rig size just for freighters etc. Wouldn't take much to implement but would make piloting them a bit better.

Wouldnt everyone just put in the cargo capacity rig? Gain 15%...on 900,000m3 is equal to a new total of 1,035,000m3...

Thats kinda alot.

Well they could make a new set of rigs, wouldn't have to include cargo capacity, or make the cargo rig reduce your hp by an amount that might make you not want a cargo rig?

There's a very good reason no freighter may have a cargohold greater than 999,999.99 m3. I'll give you a hint: Repackaged capital ships. High sec. Bad idea.

It's easier to limit freighter cargo bays than to limit what they're able to carry.

Well rigs for things other than cargo would be what I would want, more agility or warp speed or maybe hp.

this was suggested before, the idea was to nerf the cargo of all the freighters by an amount equal to 3 cargo rigs, so a max skilled freighter would have the same cargo amount with cargo rigs as is now.
I like the idea, it adds a bit of customization, but I rather have 1 lowslot so we can all fit a DCU and make highsec ganktards need Moar ships.

Freighters are the only unfittable, static ship in EVE. The whole premise of a ship which can't have fittings is just wrong in this game.

I'd like to see 1 L, 1 M, and maybe 2 Rigs and 200 Calibration on a Freighter, and the same, less 1 Rig and with only 150 Calibration on a Jump Freighter. Make it a real ship for cripes sake.

Yeah I guess one low slot would do the same job, DCU, agility or cargo space could be added.
