I live in wSpace.

Besieging someone's POS is a pain for many reasons, one of them being getting the blob in.
I realize that this kind of boat would (almost only) be useful to WH siegers (but hey, Titans and Moms are nullsec only, right?).

The general idea is to have a boat with massive cargo-space (but specialized cargo-space, CCP has been doing that lately).
How much exactly? That should be decided by the number wizards in CCP.

This, combined with Rubicon's SMA killmails, will bring death and destruction to wSpace once more.


ALSO!

Er. So what kind of cargo did you have in mind? Ships, POS mods, what?

Ships!
I just want to make holes less safe, as in there is a realistic chance (and reason) for someone to roll into your hole and land capitals on your POS.

I'm not sure that introducing new superfreighter with SMA will bring any good gameplay-wise but will make power projection issue even bigger.
SMA killmails and drops are enough to bring death and destruction into wSpace again imo.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

I hope you're right.
Will self-destructing be enabled in forcefields? I hope not.

Awesome. Then we could bring capitals and supercapitals into high-sec finally...

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Simple. Build it (along with the rest of the ships) within the target WH system....wait... I think I'm missing something Blink

I'd be happy if those tier 2 carriers could haul 2-3 capitals across HS/LS while also being able to fit all of them through a hole.
