Can we please arm freighters? They are ginormous ships which regularly hauls cargo worth billions yet it is completely defenseless. Why isn't it armed? Why can't it fit any defensive gear? Why can't it carry a few drones? It makes zero sense. Not saying it should be loaded up to take on a fleet of ships but it should be able to be tanked and light to medium weapons to deal with frigs and maybe a couple cruisers. Merchant ships in the real world were armed during war and the reason they aren't armed to is mainly due to insurance issues. I've just been thinking about this the past few days as I have been moving crap in my 2 freighters 32 jumps out. If a freighter is considered a ship then we should be able to fit it to some degree. Hell, we can fit haulers and transport ships...



THIS and the obvious next step - give my moros 120,000 m3 of cargo space. It's a giant ship so the cargo hold should be giant also. The moros (and all dreadnaughts for that matter) should be able to launch at least 2 fighters.

Does CCP even think at all when they design ship attributes?

I don't think I can really take anything you say seriously, when in another thread you suggested to a poster use medium drones instead of Geckos on their Rattlesnake.
