[Suggestion] New Freighters Available

I like the idea of a Freighter. I think, however, that Cryptic missed the mark here because of two flaws:
- Freighters should be T6 (but less powerful than standard ships. Or as powerful, but with 1 less weapon). No reason for them to be T4
- I was hoping to get an actual Freighter. I love being able to view msgs and go to the bank or even buy stuff from the exchange. BUT, I would ALSO love to be able to purchase special items, normal items or very specific items there. It's a freighter after all.
Otherwise, I do like the Freighter.
EDIT 1:
And as Garaffe suggested: "Give Republic and Dominion Captains their own freighters."

GIVE REPUBLIC AND DOMINION CAPTAINS THEIR OWN FACTION FREIGHTERS.
Never paid attention to that. That's sorta cool
I am not even sure that TFO is available on Xbox. It was not a good TFO because, like the non-shuttle version, the 20-person instance was extremely laggy and would often freeze.
I was more thinking of a 5-person TFO where your convoy is being attacked by Naussicans pirates. You fight them off, but an increasing number of them keep warping in. Eventually when it becomes too much, you are prompted to flee into an asteroid fied where you have to avoid getting hit by asteroids and the occasional high yield disruptor torpedo fired at you from outside the asteroid field. As you fly through the asteroid field, your ship gets automatically repaired, and when you get to the other side, the Enterprise, Bortasqu, and Lleiset warp in to help you finish off the pirates.
Maybe that would be better as a story mission rather than a TFO.
It was cool until you did it once and got popped like a soap-bubble 10+ times. Then it wasn't. Also why I hate the two missions in the Romulan story that force you into shuttles. Thank goodness for the "Skip" button.
All that aside, doing a standard difficulty TF in a freighter geared out with UR mk XIII+ gear is doable. For the laughs, I've done the current unfailable Kobayashi Maru scenario that way, in my trusty freighter, the Kobayashi Haru.
What is the Voth ship called? The Citadel, I think. Good luck pitting 5 shuttles against that thing at the end XD
