For DST's how about them getting a cargo hold of about 75-100k base but not allowing them to fit hull modifications (cargo expanders, inertia stabs, bulkheads, nanos) so it will allow them to fit tank or stabs and adjusting their slots accordingly. Skill bonuses could still increase cargo if you want but could also be geared towards survivability, maybe increase base HP stats to around the Procurer/Skiff level (maybe).


Thats the summary of what I've been promoting...aside from adding bubble immunity to it. You would still be able to fit nanos and inertia stabilizers or warp core stabs. All that gimps your tank and so is an acceptable trade-off. So Yes to massive but static cargo capacity.

"General Freight Bay" 75 - 80k maxed, solves the tank problem just like they've done with the T1 specialized haulers (Epithal, Miasmos, etc).

If they don't do this, most of the changes will be meaningless to the Occator and Impel

Coming from a guy who thinks an Orca fills the role between Industrial and Freighter, LOL.

Overall I very much believe bubble immunity is extremely over powered.
Interceptors can freely deploy fast and unhindered. Though, honestly they have been well received.

T3's, on the other hand, with nuli and covert only die during transit to massive gate camps (100+), or if they make a mistake in cloaking/warping. I have scouted in a T3 and to this day never lost a single one.
That being said, the only change to 'non - targeted interdiction immunity' I would make, would be: "immunity to mobile structure interdiction". Allow all interdictors and heavy interdictors to catch them.
OR
Not allow the use of covert cloaks on ships with immunity to non targeted interdiction.

That being said, if these changes happened, I would support any of the transport ships getting bonuses such as these.

Also, because this is the Internet, and people WILL try to prove me wrong about T3 cover nuli practically impossible to catch:

Show me a video, list tactics, and show reproducible consistency in catching them. "This is how you catch them, if you do this exactly like this, you will always kill them"
