The best we can get is an Itty 5 with about 38k space, not counting the container trick to get 45k out of it.

That's a huge gap between a transport and a freighter which gets you upwards of 800k.

The only thing that fills that gap is the Orca. It's really great for station moves. It also comes with a high price and lots of training just to fly it.

I'd like to see a new line of transports that let us haul anywhere from 100-500k. That would make us forget about the Iterons pretty quickly. Specialization could happen here as well.

I like the idea of a specialized fuel hauler or tanker for POS fueling. Make it cloaky without penalty for using limited cloaking device.

Buff the Primae for more cargo space and also make it cloaky like above, ideal for lowsec PI. Allow it to bypass the CO for transfers.

You can move 100-500k in a freighter.

What role are you looking to fill?

Midrange, without requiring the isk skills a freighter needs. An easier step up between a transport and freighter. Allows folks to move more stuff a lot less painful.

This is the wrong forum. Post in Features & Ideas discussion.

What is wrong with the Orca?

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

So like a freighter but smaller and cheaper to buy?

Isn't that what an orca is?

Still a poor idea so we don't need another 5 pages why. The training has been further stream lined so orca is even quicker to train for making this discussion even less relevant.
