Trident Type M Cargo Buff/Goliath cargo Reduction

Dec 23, 2016 Sieger link
As seen in this general Goliath report thread and this abstract suggestion's thread a lot of people agree that the cargo of the Trident Type M and the Goliath now need to be changed, as we have capships with certain roles now.

So this is basically the first "result" of the Goliath testing: A precise suggestion. I propose the following

1. Buff the cargo capacity of the Trident Type M to 1200cu - 1500cu. Make it stand out as a big hauler with a bit of self defense capability.

2. Reduce the cargo of the Goliath to 500cu. Leave the rest as is. That way it fully fits its role as small capship allrounder with a lot of firepower for it to be taken to combat.

The values can be debated. But please state if you agree with the general idea. What I could see from the linked threads, there was a lot of agreement. So it should be easy to push through.

This seems reasonable. I'd quibble over the exact figures (I favor 600-800cu for the Goliath), but the general idea is sound.

Agree 100% in principle, but think that the Goliath should be 600-800cu, to make it worthwhile above an XC or BHM2. Dent needs to be 1200-1500.

I haven't flown the Goliath yet, (I will tonight) but I assume it needs a cap dock, so it's utility as a transport is a little compromised as you need a moth to load/unload at most stations - or will there be more cap docks available?

+1 I will repeat my caveat made elsewhere that ship docking needs to be removed from cargo hold space.

The goliath should keep its ports at 500-600CU cargo

+1, and figure new places for capship docks.

@ Luxen I'd still rather see external docks for capships most places rather than internal docking.

1200cu for TTM, 400cu for Goliath

1200cu for TTM, 400cu for Goliath

+1 only if current trident owners don't get the 1200 cu upgrade and need to manufacture it all over again to get the upgrade.
