What if a new industrial hull was added that had a slight buff to tanking ability and more turret slots with a negative "bonus" to those turrets? Something like:
Honey Badger
After years of plying the space lanes, Caldari industrial interests decided to update the tried-and-sometimes-true Badger to take into account the realities of cargo transport in New Eden. While not intended to pose a true threat, the Honey Badger has a bit more bite than previous versions with the ability to mount a semblance of firepower, while at a reduced cargo capacity.
Caldari Industrial Skill Bonus:

Caldari Industrial Skill Bonus:
- 5% bonus to shield resistance
- 5% bonus to cargo capacity and velocity
Role Bonus:
- -25% turret rate of fire
Give it 4/6/3 layout with 4 turret slots, same general stats as the Badger Mk II.
Discuss!
I think it would mostly be used for semi-afk mining. Industrials don't have the tank or maneuverability to really fight.
