The listed align times are with no skills applying.

No, it's about right. What you have to remember is that align times decrease pretty much linearly with agility bonuses, and by the time you get into freighters (and especially JFs), you've accumulated a lot of agility bonuses.

For freighters, you can pretty much cut them in half by default due to the skill prereqs and sensible training levels and how those skills also affect alignment; for JFs, you'll get just over one third.

I understand that, but the current align time is for example a Fenrir is 71 seconds with no skills, implants, etc. In your post it's 97.69s. Is that intentional?

1. With this change, are hyperspacial rigs still going to be stacking penalized going forward?
2. Instead of a special role bonus, why not just remove the CPU requirements for reinforced bulkheads?
3. What about the addition of a single rig slot in addition to the 3 low slots?

This is soo much better than the rigs

@at this guy above me: The orca is already able to fit bulkheads. Would not change a thing

1. Are these stacking penalized with each other and/or stacking penalized with hyperspacial rigs?
2. Are the three variants T1, T2 and Faction - or something else?

Null is empty for lots of reasons. But mainly because its the wild west. There are no laws. Only the size of your gun. High sec is crowded because its relatively safe to live there. NPC's protect you. The only way null could ever hope to be even a fraction of the pilots of high sec..would require more passive protection for system. And maybe NPC's for hire.

People are deluding themselves if they think much pve can go on in null if it was crowded with constant nuets coming thru all the time. Think of Null as the outter reaches of the Universe. And High Sec the overpopulated central core.

Now if we could hire Concord in null sec systems for 5 bil a month or so..(slower response then high of course) that would be awesome. Or modular guns and such that don't have to be next to a pos but in a roid belt say.

Large protected mining ops do happen..but they are also hot drop magnets. The safest way to pve in null is safe up. Better not to get too many people in one system at a time or you are just painting a big red target on your system.

but this is unrelated to freighter mods. Now to convince CCP to give them enough cpu/power for DCU2's. :)

Obviously, any market changes occurring between CSM evaluation and public release are completely coincidental.

You're correct, it was a mistake I made when typing the post. Should be fixed now.

I like the new plan.

I particularly like the part where it allows every freighter pilot to access the full extent of the new functionality at only modest cost.
