Wait, isn't a Jump Freighter a freighter with lower cargo space and higher HP like the masses are asking for? It's even faster than a freighter as a bonus.

Seems like tools are already in game... yet again.

Heh, needs even more ehp

It should cost TON of cargo hold space or it will become the de-facto freighter. We don't want this either. We should not do the same misstakes as was done with the Mackinaw.

Are you sure "we" shouldn't do those same mistakes?

I heard the new Mack is loved by all miners in highsec.


I dont fly a mack! i fly a tank fitted hulk /gasp!!!! zomg! Even my rookie alt flies its t1 barge with enough tank to make the lone catalyst have second thoughts!

only ever lost a retriever to a gank, also never lost my providence but admittedly my pathing from base to trade hub does not enter the low end of highsec so i have to be a awake but as yet i have never needed to use extreme measures to ensure my ship makes it through. Also i have probably only ever moved 2b of stuff total since i bought it 3 or 4 months ago now

I wonder though.. if i should invest in a bigger support ship for my alt, throw on some hull reppers, a web and mwd just to see my assets safely on thier way each jump... /ponder /shrug

I think, but I might be wrong, that there are other high sec miners beside me who understand that while the EHP buff is nice, it was not the best change CCP could of made.

damm, 1 low slot for a DC II (damage control, freighters have a lot of structure)

It will make ganking a lot harder.

60 CPU and one low slot and one powergrid, CCP it is not much

Doesn't work when you autopilot.

Also, Expanded Cargohold II. Lets you reduce your tank and cram even more billions in that freighter Shocked

Instead, just ask CCP to give the freighter structure DCII resists just as part of the hull. That way you can't accidentally expand it's cargo and you no longer have to turn on the module.


People would ***** about having the equivalent of a low slot module without having the choice to put the one they want.


It could potentially also get packaged capitals into empire space, therefore it won't happen.

They should do it just for that and have concord/militia recognize a capital in the hold as illegal good. Now those tears would be REALLY tasty.
