What a lot of rubbish. The only thing that you and many like you factor in, is the yield. In comparison compared to barges; It can fit prop-mods which they cannot not. It has a aux high slot for probes or RR or Nos. (cloaks for omega). And stock mining lasers can handle ore except Mercoxit. It will fit MSE, but barges cannot fit LSE.

Try this for size;

Gamma Account, you pay $10 a month for an Industrial oriented account. You cannot have BC or BS. And no tech2/3 Cruisers. But you get tech2 transports and frigates - with cloaks. I doubt that is going to win friends and influence others. But is a sight better than the something for nothing hand-out you are begging for.
