A new class of ship incapable of jumping on it's own

Ship size 800 cu
Capacity 700 cu
Max speed 30 m/s
Armor 5000
Turbo 0
Thrust / Turn rate something very high so that while slow and cumbersom, it manages heavy loads extremely well.
Design Similar height / width to the XC. About 2.5-3 times longer.

This should absolutely not be considered unless there is also a change to the trident docking system. See my suggestion regarding that as a reference.

Availablity: Manufactured ship.

Hmmm....limited use considering the paucity of dockable locations (not just addressing the docking issues with Tridents) within sectors. I could see this if you could only make local jumps of limited range. (which would make you take a while to get between stations) This kind of vessel would only be useful for transferring cargo between transshipment points. (e.g. Trident to Station or vice versa) It would work much better if we could have multiple stations in a sector. Otherwise, I'm afraid it's basically eye-candy for the moment.
