I love the idea of a jump hauler that takes a lower skill point to enter. It could come in two flavors much like the transport ships do now. Both would have less tank than a JF. One would trade tank/hauling capacity for a greater jump range. The other would have more tank and more hauling capacity but have a lesser jump range. The tradeoffs could even be done by specialized modules on the same ship frame. I know a lot of guys who recently headed down to null sec and quickly got annoyed with the inability to transport anything themselves. Many of them left null sec for empire again just because they couldn't procure what they needed/wanted or manufacture it themselves. A lower skill jump hauler would give them a chance to bring commerce to null sec and that would keep lower skill players in null sec.

CCP is it really necessary to 'repurpose' our existing shit ships? I don't recall ever getting up in the morning and finding that the perfectly fine car in my driveway was now a truck… Though that might be cool…

Why not put a little actual effort into it and make NEW ships – leave the old ones in the game, give us NEW shiny's! Hell, I'd even be happier with a 'mark II' version that is rebalanced.

Dear CCP: Swap the tormentor and inquisitor when you roll out the change. It will work out better to keep this as a 'mining frigate upgrade' than to make the only amarr missile frigate into something else…

I should make it clear that I was refering to repping POSs in the osprey, rather than actually trying to rep ships.

I have always been a proponent of the T1 Logi cruisers. You can make them cap stable very easy. I usually carry a compliment of cap stable ospreys in my carrier so people in pods after a fight have a way to still be useful.

500% range bonus to reps and the frig speed will make smartbombs not so useful unless there's a terrible anchor.

Will there be T2 variants that use medium reps?

Meh Logi frigs, can think of dozens of better things to work on. More capital classes, a blops dread carrier fleet hahahaa. Need more development for the older players, we not got much left to train, give us more caps or T4 bs. Something that you have to dedicate time to. All the young players got a lot of catching upto do, they don't need to learn to fly a Logi frig, got t1 Logi cruiser for that.

Make them useful in a blob you mean?

For larger fights, they'd be useful maybe as a logistic for the logistics. Per player, log cruisers will still be more cost expensive. Per isk – depends…

Riverini,

Not at all. If they want you, low skill points and all, you can shield tank a Drake or train for a covops and you're good.

If they dont want you without 5 million SP/500 kills on a killboard/etc, then this wont help.
