1500-2000, maybe? It seems like the sort of thing made to repair ships.

Just add mining bonus for some commodities, scrap metal, mox etc..
5 min job and can be implemented at once.

' Wrote:Just add mining bonus for some commodities, scrap metal, mox etc..Remember though that mining is done in dangerous areas, and unlawfuls tend to hide in the fields. That's why the mining ship has a large amount of turrets and armour. The Heavy lifter armour should also reflect this somewhat if these changes were made.

Considering that nearly all of its turrets face backwards and it has a 200 thruster speed I'd say it only really needs a small change since it can run away from most pirates with speed.

Make the lifter capable of taking the Cargo pods of Depots:)

I don't think that's possible. You could always shoot them, but the owners of the pods usually don't like that.
I like the idea of making it a mining ship for specific commodities. Small ships like that probably weren't meant to travel solo anyway. Maybe we should give it a faster reverse thrust speed so it can fly backwards while shooting D:
Nothing would be more embarrassing than trying to pirate a swarm of Heavy Lifters only to get killed by ass-turrets

In a Juggernaut you can take out cargo depots by engaging cruise whilst pointed at them. It takes about three second to explode and does not make the base hostile.

Yeah, big capital ships can kill mission bases and depots by ramming them. Maybe it has something to do with the mass?

That's an idea, lets give it a ridiculously high mass.
Nothing could stop it!
