Oh look, a bump in the road.

In all seriousness, this idea is still needed, as it will revolutionize warfare and transport.

Support, GO!

still a good idea so here you go.

With the amount of support this has I'm suprised CCP or the CSM hadn't replyed to this

I would love this. I can see arguments for not making a jump capable one.

I think it could be argued that rapid deployment for war (I.E. jumping ships) is a job for carriers. Yes I know jump frieghters can and are used to get behind enemy lines. Still, I think that saying that moving fleets of fitted ships is and should remain part of what carriers are for.

However, you wouldn't use a carrier to move ships through non-hostile space during peace times. You would use a "dry dock" cargo vessel. It is big, relatively helpless, slower than a carrier, but capable of moving more at a time. That is the sort of job I see for a ship like this. I vote making it a "tier 2" freighter rather than a "tech 2" freighter since it is more of a re-purpose than a complete redesign.

Oh, and +1 either way.

Re-read first post in thread. It is a Tier 2.

Furthermore it leaves the option for a jump capable T2 variant.

Need support for this to keep rolling.

Variation in games, always needed, in EvE even more so.
This is a useful ship that will be used, produced, traded, reaserched and ganked, so it fits perfect in the game concept and adds to the market.

So why havent it been implemented yet?
I support both jumpdrives and normal ones for variations.
And to help with the size/jumpbridge/cargospace debate, lets say it has a (pulled from evelopedia):

"The Rorqual's primary strength lies in its ability to grind raw ores into particles of smaller size than possible before, while still maintaining their distinctive molecular structure."

Thingy cargohold.. cant say the name of the technology since its not named, but tech exsists..
And since its racial, it can be spezialised towards the ships of their race.. or something..

but still, get moving, game needs stuff.. more stuff, alot of stuff.. old stuffs not used anymore go to the shipyards for dissasembling, reprocessing and gets taken off the market if not used.. wasted isk is wasted isks.. put a challenge in for the industry as well:) ships dont get nerfed/ rebalanced, they are reinvented/buffed when not competetive or sacked.. out with old bp`s in with new.. lots of isk out the drain, lot of new isks into pockets.. circle of life, rest is in museums..

I apologise in advance if I am just repeating what has already been said, I don't fancy reading the entirety of this thread-naught.

As it stands, you can put unpackaged ships into a Freighter. All it requires is that it is contracted to you under a Courier contract. Something that annoys the hell out of me. I move home system relatively frequently. Instead of creating an entire new ship class, just get rid of the restriction on unpackaged ships. It can already be circumvented as a minor inconvenience.

Freighters could use a little iteration as it is. Maybe a few carefully calculated slots. No high slots of course.



I really love the idea of being able to transport other capsuleers. Newer players would be able to get down to nullsec or deap into low by being taken there by a trusted pilot.

PS: You bump this thread far too frequently. It's not good taste to bump it twice without someone else posting between bumps.
