So, what do you think about that one?

You forgot to explain why such packet hulls are cool? Surprised Is it required for all packets? Is it enough if i put 10 kt of boranium as "packet" cargo or one scout or whatever? Does it sit at place like orbital in battle? Does it stack with other "packet" hulls on orbit? How ships carried by such packet occur/act in battle? What becomes with rest of the crap in packet if the packet hull is destroyed?

My impression from description you gave is that:
1) For transporting unmanned ships (with non-HE) i would use gates like now. Nod I see slight idea there for HE, if over warp 10 packets are possible lot earlier than now ... but probably MM as well (new UI equiping ships into other ships). Also there may be idea for non-IT if it can fit missile BB-s. Rolling Eyes
2) For transporting minerals i would use large freighters like now i do (with a non-PP). The difference is that i would start to probably use large freighters with PP as well with such a change unless the package ship is dirt cheap to build and faster than now and so on.
3) For mineral bombing opponent planets i would use packets lot more rare if the packets cant be without hulls and minefields affect them and so on.
4) For PP scouting i would avoid it as well if it is not dirt cheap and minefields affect it and so on.
5) I would not probably use the packet ship as missile warship platform in defense unless it is more cost efficient warship than BB or cruiser. Was your idea to make efficent defense fleets? Yep ... but strange?!? Shocked Even better if it stacks. Load all unneeded minerals into them if it increases their armor/shield value by lot. Confused
6) I would not probably use such packet hull for delivering attack fleet because opponents driver (if present) would probably refuse to receive them and warsips stand duck in package and the minefield crap you described and so on ... too lot of pain. Wink

So say again? Whats cool? Surprised Probably i didnt get the idea what you told, because sounds real crap and some aspects are outright strange? Rolling Eyes
