I don’t think that a new shipclass in planned. The premium frigates have the most slots and there probably won’t be another shipclass with even more slots.
cargo drones ??? no posibility for mi premium frigates ( black dragon )
In several gates across the sectors, you will have cargo drones (small balls like the Sputnik sattelite) that will send your loot to your hangar for a small fee (10% of the value in credits and artifacts, none for craft materials)
after checking your solution is not valid outside of the main area of the races or there is the most important gear in the game for the crafter (not secured by army npc).
which is annoying because you have to stay close to a sector with cargo drones

You have some dangerous sectors with cargo drones. There you will find the best craft materials. I don’t remember where, but if you pick a fast recon interceptor you can scout all the sectors in little time.
that’s why a cruiser cargo would be more practical for limited risk.
for those who want to have the craft its advantages of having a cargo capacity is sufficient to not depend cargo drones which are dangerous outside secure areas
a good solution would be to take as a basis the merchant ship from that npc in some sectors is already armed (by one or two automatized mortar turrets).
just added him some module (armor, speed and sensor) and one light shield
one edit for example: my black dragon raised above an NPC cargo ships with the number of cargo slot change on the right
