Just an idea.
I think there should be a mechanic skill that would increase your cargo hold by a given percentage, lets say, 5, 7.5, or 10% per skill level, with a caviat that it doesnt include frieghters or capital ships. I think this would help out in a lot of different areas, carrying missiles, hauling ore, my noctis.

Yes, I complain about things I don't like.

Nah haulers are good where they are, you already have the options for expanded cargoholds and also expander rigs :)

interesting

it would have an effect on the price of minerals as hulk holds would be 50% bigger so solo miners would be mining for longer
I dont normally troll, but when i do i do it on General Discussion.

Better yet CCP should design that ship that can do everything you know plenty of firepower and cap and grid and tank and also lots of cargo and also make it go 500m/s...

Lady Spank beat me to it.

Not only is this not in F&I, it's not a good idea.

only if for each level it also reduces your shield/armor/structure/speed by 5% per level Twisted

you have rigs and mods that give you that for a trade-off

bypassing the tradeoff by making it a skill borks the existing system.

a "Stacking boxes" skill is silly

Actually, while I do agree with general sentiment of "we don't need a skill to bonus -everything- I wanted to take exception with above statement. Cargomaster / Loadmaster is a very well paid, difficult specialization within many logistics operations, especially ones dealing with air/water transportation.

Ability to both utilize full capacity of the cargo hold and set up cargo so all the contents are well protected without disrupting vessel's stability and center of gravity are major challenges, and make the difference between your cargo making it to port, or ship capsizing.

Here's what happens when you don't have your "Stacking Boxes" skill at V:

Apart from the post not being in F&I, I must say that this could be a good idea...

After all, if you don't know how to load your ship properly, this is what happens: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTQJTaWLcwhZWas9a27GUTLAhsKIGLynP3ARpIPlN58_c2Uh2jo

No, with that skill, freighter pilot would now be able to haul freighters around.

Yo dawg...

Lets take dps for example. You have a gun. lets say a large rail gun, you have two skill books dedicated to that gun and several supporting skills. Large hybrid turret, large rail gun specialization, and then all the supporting gunnery skills. Add in magstabs in the lows, a collission accelerater in the rigs, and an implant or two, and you have 4 different items impacting your gun. If i want more than low slot modules and rigs for cargo capacity, im not asking for the world, i just want it to inch closer to all the other items that affect guns.

And to the guy who said frieghters could carry frieghters. I said in the original post it wouldnt affect ships designed to have huge cargo halls like freightors.

and yes, i shoulda put this into features and ideas, perhaps a dev can move it for me

Yes, I complain about things I don't like.

Here are two suggestions when posting ideas. And i'm honestly trying to help, so take heed.

Don't ever ever post ideas on GD. Any and all ideas you post on GD will be shot down in a ball of holy fire with snarky comments and dismissive banter by bored posters that rarely take more than 3 seconds reading the original post you make (As exemplified by the dude that talked about freighters carrying freighters). The only exception to this rule is for those posters who already have their opinions respected by the GD crowd. Yeah.. life is unfair, deal with it.

Don't ever post ideas on weekends. Devs don't work on weekends.
