Summary

There is a missing link between the largest industrialis(20k m3, 1-50mill) and freighters(750k m3, 800-900mill) Is it possible to create a new hauler type(T2, mini-capital?) freighter that can hold 60-150k m3, but being reasonably fast, unlike the freighter?

Potential Solutions

• Add new ship
  • Pros
    • New options for players
    • New market for players to take part in
    • Lower barrier to entry will make it easier for people who can't afford a freighter to haul large loads
  • Cons
    • The freighter market could take a hit and decrease in demand
