Frigate sized would fit in a industrial, anything bigger would be restricted to freighters. You can put a ship in but not launch it in space but you could move it into any ship hangar you have access to.

The idea of a limited SMB where it only works with only hangar transfers + no inspace fitting service is interesting. They probably need to call it something else (e.g. shuttle bay, frigate bay? etc.) to avoid confusing players with SMB that works slightly different from normal.

I was thinking of calling them [ship size] Trasportation Scaffold because you strap a assembled ship in and then drop it into the cargo hold. Every ship size would have its own scaffold container, which need to be produced from blueprints like other containers. Every scaffold fits exactly one ship of its size and only ships of the specific size can be put there. Assembled ships can only be moved into hangars anyway, so all that the containers needs removed is the launch option.

Having a T3 industrial could solve this as well.


Yes please!

With losing a spaceship command / industrial skill level when the ship is destroyed.

Hillarious!

Nah, a waste of 500m3 for a 6au/s ship.




I run freighters quite a bit, and I can say that 500m3 is nothing to sacrifice for a shuttle. Suck it up, and do this. Not a waste at all. This solution completely solves your problem, it's not ccp's responsibility to change a ship class, simply because you "Want it to have additional features" instead of utilizing what already works perfectly fine for everyone else.
