Dear CCP Team,
I would like to share a suggestion from the perspective of a logistics and courier-focused player.
Currently, the Bowhead is a highly specialized ship designed to transport assembled ships. However, since the current courier contract system does not support the delivery of assembled ships, its role within the player-driven logistics ecosystem is severely limited. This makes the ship feel underutilized and somewhat wasted in terms of gameplay potential.
At the same time, large structures and construction-related items also have unique transportation characteristics, yet they lack a dedicated and meaningful logistics framework within the contract system.
Therefore, I would like to propose the introduction of a new category of “special cargo courier contracts,” which could be further divided into:
-
Assembled Ship Courier Contracts (restricted to ships capable of transporting assembled ships, such as the Bowhead)
-
Structure / Construction Cargo Contracts (handled by ships with appropriate capabilities, such as the Avalanche)
With this kind of classification, specialized haulers would gain clearer and more irreplaceable roles within the logistics ecosystem.
This change could bring several benefits:
-
Significantly improve the practical value of ships like the Bowhead and Avalanche
-
Create more gameplay opportunities and career paths for logistics players
-
Strengthen the connection between industry, structure deployment, and frontline supply chains
-
Add more depth and immersion to the player-driven economy
I believe this would not only revitalize underused ships, but also make logistics gameplay more diverse and strategically meaningful.
Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve EVE Online.
Best regards,
A logistics-focused capsuleer
