Now that Ore has begun to expand it's list of ship types it seems that they could use some expansion in other areas as well, at the moment ORE ships are focused on harvesting ore, however there's more to mining that just harvesting. There is moving that ore to a proper refining station, and then moving the minerals to market, or to the buyer.

So i suggest something like the following two ships:

ORE ore hauler: designed to move large amounts of ore, with a lower operating cost than an orca, as well as superior speed.


ORE Mineral hauler: Designed to move large amounts of refined minerals to market, or to a buyer with a lower operating cost than an Orca or Freighter, and at much granter speed.

Ships skill requirement would be based on ORE industrial skill, a skill that currently only affects the Noctis.


Also, on a note related to Hauling, how about an in-between size Freighter? right now that's filled by the orca, but a ship made to haul say... 120,000 m3 that is cheaper and faster than an orca would have a good spot in usage I think. Much more than a normal Hauling ship, but much less than a true freighter.

I like the Idea, but they would NEED to be only able to haul their respective cargo's

Thats a hell of a good idea, this might be very useful. I agree on that
