Leviathan class Supertanker

[Jinx]

so much yelling at the whale. but i think its just a perfect little ship. its got 3500 cargo hold for roughly 20 mio. is there any other ship that beats that for this price? - the behemoth is 2500 cargo for about the same price - of course comes with more defensive power - but still.

the whal is rather small and easy to connect to a tradelane. (the point of activation appears to be at its front tip - in contrast to lets say a cruise liner which point of activation appears to be in the middle)

all in all, the whale is easy to fly, has a good cargo hold, and is cheap enough.

as for a HUGE transport. i have to agree with a cap limit of 5000 cargo space. actually, i d favour a reduction of cargo on existing transports (i ll get yelled at for that) - lets say:

- transport 1000
- large transport 1500
- train 2000
- large train 3000
- container ship 3000
- advanced train 4000 as it appears it would have 8 containers.
*** that is when a visible container can take around 500 cargo *** (is it possible to link the visible containers to the cargo? - shoot down a container and the trader looses 500 of his cargo - random goods of whats inside)

those transports that are not original
- behemoth 1500
- whale 3000 (but recude its armor/shield even more so its REALLY fragile, even to a light fighter)

then there could be supertransports that are hard to manouver into lanes and hard to dock with.

in the end, its a cargo hold vs. time it takes to go from undock to doch at the destination. - so if you d fly a supertransport, you d have to:
a.) fly yourself into lanes and not just target+f3 to autodock
b.) plan to take like twice the time due to manouvering into gates/lanes compared to normal transports.

of course that should pay off - and so a supertransport might hold
- 4000 - 5000 cargo.

that would include nerfing of existing transports though - but might aswell improve the use of the agile and small freighters, cause their cargo is closer to the big transports then.
