Assembly Hall

Bump, this needs some more support

I'm not a freighter pilot but it's still a great idea. Definitely to get someone else to haul my BS's across space for me....oh and the tears that would fall if it was ganked. =D

Agreed. Getting SMAs and corp hangars to drop loot really needs to be done.

For added depth it would be cool if items/ships in the corp hanger or ship maintenance arrays dropped in locked containers that needed to be hacked before being looted. It would add some differentiation between regular cargo and give the owner a chance to retrieve the stuff before it gets looted.

ships though might have to drop as a whole ship as in sitting in space with no pilot as the only ship capable of looting an assembled battleship would be a carrier. then the tug/freighter pilot could try to jump into one of the ships that dropped when they get ganked.

I think this is a really good idea although personally I'd like to see the tug being able to pull any ship that exists.

Either way, I've liked the post.

I know this is cheeky, but what the hell.

At the moment I'm standing for the CSM. I'd be very be happy to raise this idea if I get voted in. Obviously this is a big 'if'. The first stage of this is making the shortlist. At the moment I'm quite a few 'likes' short of the 100 that I need to get onto the ballot.

If you wanted to help me on my way with a 'like' for my election post, I'd really appreciate the support. Obviously if other support that you send my way would also be very gratefully received.

stop beeing lazy, NO a carrier can already move 1-2 battleships in its ship maintanance array, we dont need duplicate ships. especially ships which requires 0 risk!

Me supports this excellent idea because it's needed.

Also:
-would this ship bay be restricted to only assembled ships or packaged ones too?
-restricted to ships only and so no minerals/loot/cans whatever.
Because if I agree with the first one (assembled) I'd completely disagree with the later. There are already frighters for this purpose and Jump Capable Freighters can also bring package ships.

Something different and nasty to train for and something individuals as megacorps would want in thier assets?

My humble opinion would be that this ship had a single version of it and since it's a very exposed ship (hello cargo scanners) it would be capable of jumps directly in high sec (only 0.5) but at very high fuel cost (high sec *blahblah stuff* increase 500% fuel consumption etc)
Normal jump abilities in low sec and increase by 25% jump range in null sec - not because of risk because you'll take hundred more time risk undocking at jita than in null sec.
The idea is to give alliances and corps an expensive and capable logistics ship to move stuff at far distances without being spoted and open new tactics of invasion or evasion.

I don't thank you get the idea this support tug ship is designed to be a ship to move around your other big ships so you not have to repackage them and loseing your rigs. Yes a carrier can haul 1-2 battleships bit they can't be used in high sec space. Before you say drop the care bear act no that I'm not a care bear and do enjoy pvp and low sec but I also enjoy running missions. Also I have different battleships that I like to use to make it more interesting to run missions. For that I don't want to jump 20 jumps then go back and get my other ships 2-3 times. This support tug ship is perfect for this. Plus it could be a good idea for null as well not sure however

It will also create a new opportunity for Freight Corporations.

Bump for more exposure and support.

I would like to see this idea taking on a role in New Eden.
