I would like to see any rigs for freighters … like “15% more shield HP but 10% less cargo” or “15% more structre HP but 10% more aligntime and web immunity !”
Or maybe +cargo - HP or something else
EDIT : they need to be capital rigs with a large ammount of stuff to produce them so they are expensive !
I’m not sure if we need specific rigs for freighters - there’s already a good selection of capital rigs with penalties. And yes, they would need to be capital size.
Yes we need … otherwise you only take the existing ones and then you have a massive buff to freighters ! And we dont need such big buffs to freighter !
I guess that’s always an option, too - and stick with the same capital rigs and points (400). They might as well add some mid slots as well so shield/armor fits are a thing.
Freighters used to have rigs and people hated them because you had to destroy them to go from max M^3 to Max EHP. Do not ask to go back to the bad old days.
Maybe they could make new rigs called Permit rigs, one for each commonly used ganking ship so the freighter could fit up to three rigs completely negating any incoming damage (or a percentage based on rig tech level like T1 = 50% resist, T2 = 75% resist and ORE = 99% resist) from three ship types such as Catalysts, Thrashers, Taloses and so on, thus would still provide counter-play option for the attackers in the form of ship scanning and bringing proper ships instead of those which the freighter has rigs against.
No, they are not. I really don’t want to have to install T2 trimarks, lose a ton of agility and cargo only to compensate the necessary base HP nerf. The nerfs to the base HP are inevitable because rigs, although expensive, would add way too much HP to these ships.
It was an outrageously stupid idea when CCP suggested it as first iteration to give freighters “fitting capabilities”, it won’t be less stupid when players suggest it.
no, not at all ! if you rig your freighter for max cargo then you could have more cargo space ! if you rig your freighter for max HP then you could have more HP ! but you need to have a tradeoff
Low slots on freighters was stupid. This goes beyond that descriptor.
If you think you need to haul more than a freighter, be less greedy.
If you think a freighter needs more of anything else, you need to learn how to fly it appropriately.
My freighter alt got her Charon before they got low slots. She still flies the same ship today. The problem exists between chair and keyboard, not in game.
