Can fit rigs

Cargo reduced

Hp reduced

Warp speed same

Rigs will be used to customize the fit to your needs




Jump freighters cargo reduced

Rigs will allow a new total cargo space that is slightly larger than current

Called it.

They asked for rigs for so long, and they get an overall nerf to compensate. Couldn't leave well enough alone.

Enjoy.

Exactly. When I predicted this (because it makes sense from a balance pov) people told me I was wrong, now I just LOL in their general direction.

They should nerf it more and add modules as well. Give more diversity to fits then just rigs, not to mention being able to do a bait freighter would be comical, though highly inefficient.

Mynnna is tweeting this info from Fanfest so I would assume the info is pretty solid. Also remember that CCP Fozzie mentioned the addition of hull rigs which would be needed for changes of this type.

It's about time these freighter changes came about. I like the idea of tuning the ship to fit my needs a little better. Most of the loads I drag in are too large for an orca and nowhere near enough to fill a charon. So I believe it'll be a good thing to tweak the ship a little.

It makes sense to lower the overall cargo cap on the freighter, otherwise CCP would have to tweak cargo rigs which would screw over a much larger group of people that use them on other ships.

Now freighters are made with capital parts. Does that mean they will use cap ship rigs? Or just regular large rigs like the orca? (Which is also made with capital parts.)

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

lol cargo doesn't need lowered. if you're not filling your freighter, then you dont need one, and you're doing it wrong.

freighters are made for transporting massive quantities of cheap crap. (or expensive crap, your preference.)

it takes several freighters loaded to the brim to carry the supplies need to make 1 dread.
i think 2 1/2 was the count last time i checked.

they are also used to transport mass amount of minerals and ore.. packaged ships. ect.


i do like the ability customize them to tank better, or get even more stuff moved with 1 trip. warping with them is painful as is, ied hate to make more trips because of smaller cargo...

So they reduce the cargo by 25% so you can't get above 1mil even with T2 rigs. Then they reduce hitpoints by 8% or so on each shield/armor/hull to make room for new bonuses and rigs. Then they replace the universal bonus scheme with racial ones, I'd say Amarr is armor hp and velocity, Caldari is shield hp and warp speed, Minmatar is agility and velocity and Gallente is hull hp and warp speed. Or some such stuff.
