Summary

Freighters are one of the cornerstone ships in eve, but they lack any type of versatility and thus are extremely dull. Making freighter pilots have some choice in changing ships attributes could make freighters a bit more interesting but will not remove their intended role or change their survivability.

Solution

Add Rigs slots to Freighters and Jump Freighters. For T1 Freighters 3 slots (225 calibration point), T2 Freighters 2 slots (150 calibration points).

This would allow changing some stats of freighters, for example adding more cargo capacity at expanse of HP, or increasing warp speed etc.

NOTE: This change requires other capital ships "Packaged size" attribute to be increased to 1.3 million m3.

Pros

• Ability to partially change attributes to a ship and specialize its use.

Cons

• none so far
