Hauling: Difference between revisions

Line 169:

There are situations where a small fast craft is better then a big lumbering beast. These include moving blueprints or other small volume, high value cargo. One option is a warpstab or nano-fit frigate with a propulsion mod to try and burn away from tacklers. However, the best option at this size is a [[Frigate#Covert Ops Frigate|Covert Ops Frigate]], which can provide near-perfect safety if handled correctly.

~~Gallente~~ have the ~~best~~ T1 Industrial, and ~~are pretty much tied for first place in every other class of hauler~~. ~~By comparsion,~~ Minmatar ~~only shine in the~~ Blockade Runner ~~part if you need~~ a second high slot for ~~some reason (not strictly~~ hauling ~~only). Amarr perform very well in the T2 Industrials, but are weak in the T1s and have a smaller freighter~~. Caldari have the largest ~~Freighter~~, ~~but needs T2 rig on their Blockade Runner to reach above~~ the ~~"magical" 10k m3 limit which allow you~~ to ~~carry~~ a ~~cruiser, and~~ the ~~Iteron far outperforms the Badger~~.

Amarr have the largest capacity T1 Industrial. Minmatar haulers tend to align and fly slightly faster than other factions, and sacrifice cargo capacity to do it. The Minmatar Blockade Runner also has a second high slot if needed for a cloak plus a probe launcher for wormhole hauling. Caldari have the largest capacity freighters, and unquestionably the tankiest T1 industrials. The specialized Gallente t1 haulers (and to a lesser extent the Minmatar ammo hauler) are extremely convenient if you regularly haul ore/minerals/PI.
