As we are now getting specialized hulls for transporting ammo, PI, minerals and stuff.
Considering an orca being a mini freight for transporting ore, can we have something similar for transporting ammo or PI or minerals.
The key point here would be it has to be T2 - skill intensive and not cheap
high capacity for specialized bay 500k +
be able to travel through low class wormholes about 250 weight about the same as Orca.
Not being to strong so it can survive a bit like Orca does - about 200k ehp would be about right.
No fitting space.

This would help a lot with hauling stuff from deep 0.0 through wormholes and from and to wormholes without affecting game mechanics.

Imagine them easy kills and 500k volume of p3 or p4 PI, if you get lucky enough to catch one.

The benefits are quite clearly that this could help with logistics a lot, instead of traveling 10 or more time with t1 ship, you can do 1 jump with t2, which will affect the mass of WH in the same way but will save a lot of manual labour. On other hand loosing that ship will be quite easy as it will have no offence/defence mods.

Flame on!
