Combined with jumpdrive that would make new ship very powerful, especially for raids.
So a military civilian ship? Strange replacement for a barge that is so called used like a flying base/ refinery? So this is a Military/police only ship then? By lore it would suit it more in this direction.
Just a guess here, but I think they may intend to add freighters to the docking capability. That way, the jump trading is reduced, but not eliminated, while still encouraging group activity.
At the same time, you wouldn't have a well armed fleet of Transports moving into an area. After all, the freighters are not going to be the same level of defensive capability.
