For the die hard traders and cargo haulers out there.
Lets look at having something like a cargo trailer something we can attach to our cargo trader ships only ( Condas, T9, Haulers, Cobras, T6, T7) perhaps not smaller vessles etc something we can push or tow ( perhaps incorporate as a mission base job) not a module you can buy until maybe later perhaps thinking ahead.
How it works?
Mission board> cargo tug mission> collect the cargo trailer based outside the station (similar to how long megaships look) incorporate a new port of sorts or floating assembly area or shipyard repair station currently in game, a bit like shopping at argos pick the item/Mission in this case go to your collection point (basically a module with containers attached to it ranging from several hundred cannisters upwards hence the larger ship required) and ferry it to a destination for payment, dock them into a dock port not your normal mail box stations.
The balance would be ferry the items safely dumping cargo has severe fines and rep downgrading, you are unable to do combat whilst transferring these missions, selling to black market also gets a fine.
These would be dedicated cargo missions unlike using our own cargo space.
Mission variety could range from local star systems to long range colonia transporting for several million credits etc. Not unlike sightseeing passenger missions currently in game.
Just a thought for some more future variety.
