I have an idea for a tanker/heavy cargo ship:

In a movie, I believe it was 'space truckers' or something similar, they had a ship with kind of a truck/trailer idea: i\t basically is a cocklpit with 2 engines at the end of relatively long wings, to which you can connect as many containers as you like behind it: it would effectively be a towing ship for loose containers. If it's possible one could disconnect the 'trailer' to dock at a station. If you make sure that the left-behind trailers can be remotely filled or emptied (transporter technology?) and maybe even navigated (as with the navigation software on other owned ships) one can get pretty far with the standard unmodded stations.

I don't know if this would all be possible in the game I'm just brainstroming here.

It could be done like this...

Make your super TS an M6 class but still looks like whatever you want it to look like. Place the external docking points far enough out behind it so that when something docks with it say the MSU from me mod, it would look like a cargo container is docked to it. I don't think you can get more than four ships to dock with an M6 but hey atleast this way you could atleast make it look like a super TS or super hauler and when you go to dock with the local eq dock you could release all the automated cargo containers before you docked and they could all go dock at seperate stations if need be and then return and dock with your ship after unloading.

Can we place a wishlist of personal transports/ships in here? The ideas of getting your own custom ship is really too good to pass up...
