Both types of Tech 2 industrial require the [[Skills:Spaceship_Command#Transport_Ships|Transport Ships]] skill, and both have abilities which make them better at surviving trips to lawless space. Both also have the same two 5% per level bonuses to speed and capacity for their racial industrial skill that the Tech 1 industrials have (and you need all five levels of the racial industrial skill to fly them in the first place). Naturally, they also cost a lot.

Blockade runners align much faster than their Tech 1 equivalents, have a ~~(fairly useless)~~ bonus ~~for some form of active tanking (shield boosting or armor repairing)~~, and, most importantly, a bonus that lets them fit covert ops cloaking devices (and hence warp while cloaked). This means that even in nullsec the only dangerous moments for a properly-fitted and -flown blockade runner should be when it has to pass through stargates. The trade-off is that blockade runners carry less cargo than their Tech 1 equivalents.

Blockade runners are also one of the few classes of ship able to use the covert jump bridges opened by [[Battleship#Black Ops|black ops battleships]].
