=== Hull Buffer Tank ===
Like other Gallente specialized haulers such as the {{sh|Miasmos}} and the {{sh|Kryos}}, the {{sh|Epithal}} uses a specialized hold as its main hold instead of a cargohold. This fact, alongside the strong hull hitpoints that Gallente ships already get, means that the Epithal can fit a decently sized hull buffer tank using Transverse Bulkhead rigs and Reinforced Bulkhead modules, and it will ''not'' suffer any negative effects on the size of its specialized Mining Hold because those modules only decrease ''cargohold'' size. An Epithal with only a simple hull tank buffer can achieve an EHP over 14,000. While this isn't the largest buffer tank a T1 hauler can achieve, the advantage is that it leaves nearly all of the Powergrid available for fitting, which can include a 50MN Compact MWD and an Improved Cloaking Device II, so the Epithal can also use the [[cloak trick]] while fielding a decent tank, which is a challenging combination for most other T1 Haulers.
