So talking with incursion fleets the idea of either a repurposed rorqual (poor thing is lonely) or an orca would make a good choice fgor a ship that can carry fitted BS's (they wanted 2 plus a cruiser for incursion caravans)

(I haven't read the 21 pages of this thread, so if already mentioned, please be kind with your reply.)
Wouldn't a module which converted ore cargo space to SMA space be less work for CCP to implement? Something along the lines of an overdrive (which converts cargo space to speed).

I am floored by the amount of support this idea I came up with while drinking has received. And Mike, that is why I voted for you, you listen and actively engage the community while lending support to new or innovative ideas. Thanks for the support everyone. Keep it up and don't stop until we have this or something like this.

This definitely would be beneficial to incursion runners as well as anyone who produces ships or transports as a neutral for war plagued corporations.

Not having to jump 30+ systems to get your logi because your battleship isn't needed..... *swoons*

Because you could carry both! And a mission runner and PvP frig for shenanigans. The possibilities are one of the things that make me keep pushing this. Also, for the pirate types, imagine the tears of popping one and it dropping a fully fit faction BS or Marauder.

This here little idea could be a boon to incursion runners, manufacturers, neutral haulers and the pirates that kill the above. Keep the support rolling to keep it at the top and in view of all. We need more player created content, and this could pave the way for more. Thanks to present supporters, and let's get this idea spread like wildfire!

+1 on this. I agree. However I am curious for the cost on one of these ships. As there are mechanics in game to go around this already from courier contracts.

I would say a happy medium between an orca and a freighter, maybe slightly higher to account for material costs.

Keep the support/questions/comments/suggestions coming! It is clear that we have the attention of the CSM, so let's get more of the community's eyes on this and get CCP to know we as the players want and need this!!

Oh really now? I know a buddy of mine spun it to a couple of other CSM members and announced his bid to run for CSM 10.

Guilty as charged.

I had no clue this thread existed when I came up with my own similar concept. There are a lot of good ideas here that even I didnt consider.
