Some input on aggro mechanics would be helpful. Lets keep the ideas coming in.

I've been wanting something like this for years. I'd have settled for a rig slot on the current freighters where 1 rig makes it a ship carrier and the other rig makes it a normal freighter but a whole new ship would be cool too.

Well, the reason I proposed a new ship was to help round out the industrial/support side of EVE. I figured this could create some intrigue, and have potential for tears to be spilled by pirates. All in all, everyone would win.

No it's a good idea...new ship would be cool. The rig idea was just something I thought up a long time ago because I thought it would be less development work (no need for new models) and more likely to be implemented.

Totally cool with having a whole new ship class. :)

They should have another one of those artist contests to have the users submit design ideas. That'd be cool.

Great idea, but please don't call it a 'tug'

What you propose is a 'Heavy-lift ship' or 'Heavy Transport Ship'

Like this:

And here's another example of the same ship, lifting a 'small' military vessel....

Edit:

Ot it's bigger brother, which could basically carry a [RL] super carrier:

So, yeah would love to see this, just not a 'tug', please :-)

The support tug was simply the first name that came to mind while myself and a few friends were spitballing ideas. The official class name that we decided to stick with after the fact was "Envoy."

This thing still needs support and input. Invite your corpmates, alliance mates and friends to check this out and make their input.

Even if this were to be reduced to a single faction ship, give it the appearance of a skeletal structure with ship transport bays within the structure.

I'd love to see this come to fruition so that everyone can have something else to fly or shoot at.

+1 for targe-... Err, tugs.

Would the fitted ships drop if you poped one though?

Because, incursion people have really nice ships...

A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go.

Glad and not glad to still see this thread around.

Only reason I am not glad is because the idea was never implemented TT_TT

I still support this, it should be back on the front page for a bit :)

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.
