== Weighing Training Time Against How Much You Want to Haul ==

A major concern when choosing which race and ship to go for, will be how much extra time is required, to train additional levels of the racial Industrial skill, needed to unlock access to each ship.

If you truly want to maximise your cargo capacity while minimising training, then the Amarr Bestower is the Industrial ship to go for, for industrial skill levels 1-3, as at those levels of training it has the highest possible m3 for all the industrials. If you are hauling cargo such as ore, or lots of small items, it may even be worth training the Amarr Industrial skill to level II, as this will increase the ship's capacity to just over 21k m<sup3. That will allowing 7 Giant Secure Containers to fit in the hold, for a total haling capacity of 27,300m3. This will add just ~2h 35m to training (~2h 4m with remap).

If you don't mind soending the time to train an industrial skill to level IV, then the Mammoth will give you the highest capacity at that training level, and if you don't mind the long train to get a racial industrial skill to V, then the Iteron V will have the highest capacity with that training level. The Iteron V is also a good choice if you want to move up to freighters, as the train for them is short when you already have Gallente Industrial level V (compared to what you may have trained to make use of the other race's industrials), and you will also be able to use the tech 1 industrial with the highest possible capacity in the game, when not using your freighter.
