NPC capital hauler spawns

With the recent addition of NPC capital spawns I was thinking it would be interesting to see capital hauler spawns/freighter spawns. These would be a variant of standard hauler spawn. Instead of just spawning three to five industrial ships and escorts, the spawn could consist of a single freighter and escorts. I'm still not sure what the escorts would consist of, either a pair of dreads or sanctum size wave of battleships. Something along that nature.

Loot wise I'm think the the freighter spawn would drop not just a large amount of one mineral type, but large amount of several mineral types. For example an NPC hauler carrier drops about 25 million trit. I'm thinking a NPC freighter would drop 35 mill trit, 15 mill pyrite and 75,000 megacyte. Maybe not those exact numbers but something similar.

Now I'm not suggestion this completely replace NPC hauler spawns in null sec but be an addition. More like something on the same rarity of an officer spawn. Normally you just get a traditional hauler spawn but very once a in great while you get a NPC freighter.

Thoughts?
