'''Industrial''' ships are designed for [[hauling]]. They have much larger cargo holds than other ships of similar size.

'''Haulers''' are T1 cargo ships which can be divided into three subgroups:
−
'''Haulers'''<ref>To be found in the market under Haulers and Industrial Ships - Standard Haulers</ref>, previously known as Tech 1 industrials, can be divided into three classes:
 
 
* Fast transports, which are used to move low-volume, high-value goods quickly and safely.
 
* Fast transports, which are used to move low-volume, high-value goods quickly and safely.
 
* Bulk transports, which have a much higher capacity than the fast transports, but are slower and have less [[tank]].
 
* Bulk transports, which have a much higher capacity than the fast transports, but are slower and have less [[tank]].
−
* Specialized transports, which are similar to bulk transports in terms of tank and agility but have an extra, specialized, very large, hold that can carry only one type of item (such as ammunition or minerals)  
+
* Specialized transports, which are similar to bulk transports in terms of tank and agility but have an extra, specialized, very large, hold that can carry only one type of item (such as ammunition or minerals)
−
 
 
−
For example, the [[Wreathe]] (Minmatar fast transport) can be fit to align in as little as 4 seconds while having 22k EHP, but would only have a cargo capacity of up to 4,622 {{m3}}. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a [[Bestower]] (Amarr bulk transport) can be fit to carry up to 39k {{m3}} but will take at least 13 seconds to align and have less than 8k EHP. To that end, fast transports can be fit to transport material through [[lowsec]] relatively safely, whereas bulk transports should be restricted to systems known to be safe unless accompanied by an escort, e.g. an [[OOC]] alt.
 
−
 
 
−
For fitting, industrials tend to have base powergrid around the level of [[destroyer]]s and quite high amounts of CPU, which is mostly used by a [[Shield Tanking|shield tank]]. The low slots are often filled with expanded cargoholds, though these can be swapped out with inertial stabilizers or nanofiber internal structures for smaller hauls to increase agility, thereby decreasing align time and cutting down a little on travel time. Agility mods are especially important on fast transports operating in low security space. If you are looking to do a lot of [[distribution missions]] or otherwise do a lot of traveling, warp speed rigs (Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizers) can cut travel time by more than half.
 
−
 
 
−
Each race has its own haulers, which require their racial hauler skill - for example, {{sk|Amarr Hauler|icon= yes}}. [[Alpha clones]] are limited to one skill level of their racial hauler. The haulers get 5% bonuses to cargo capacity and either agility (fast transports) or velocity (bulk transports) per level of skill. You receive a free fast transport when you complete the [[Industrialist (Producer)]] career agent mission [[Industrialist (Producer)#Making Mountains of Molehills (10 of 10)|Making Mountains of Molehills (10 of 10)]].
 
−
 
 
−
The four races do not all have the same number of haulers, and which race's haulers will offer the highest cargo capacity depends on the amount of training time you are prepared to invest.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Amarr ====
 
−
The Bestower offers you the best potential cargo capacity for general cargo but has less than 8k EHP when fit this way. Meanwhile the Sigil is an overall poor industrial ship.
 
−
*[[Sigil]] (fast transport)
 
−
*[[Bestower]] (bulk transport)
 
−
 
 
−
==== Caldari ====
 
−
The Badger has the highest base cargo capacity of the fast transports. The Tayra has the least potential capacity of the bulk transports but the highest base capacity and highest tank, however it is outperformed in fast, secure hauling by the Badger and in bulk hauling by the other races' bulk transports.
 
−
*[[Badger]] (fast transport)
 
−
*[[Tayra]] (bulk transport)
 
−
 
 
−
==== Minmatar ====
 
−
The Minmatar haulers are significantly faster than other haulers in the same ship class. They manage this speed without sacrificing tank or cargo capacity, making them ideal for doing distribution missions or even for lowsec hauling.
 
−
*[[Wreathe]] (fast transport)
 
−
*[[Mammoth]] (bulk transport)
 
−
*[[Hoarder]] (specialized ship with an ammunition and a [[gas cloud harvesting|gas]] hold)
 
−
 
 
−
==== Gallente ====
 
−
The Gallente have several specialized ships (which have vast specialized bays but can only transport specific kinds of items in them), while the non-specialized fast/bulk transports give good all-round performance.
 
−
*[[Nereus]] (fast transport)
 
−
*[[Iteron Mark V]] (bulk transport)
 
−
*[[Kryos]] (specialized ship with a [[Reprocessing#Ore|minerals]] and a [[Ice harvesting|ice]] hold)
 
−
*[[Epithal]] (specialized ship with a  [[Planetary Commodities|planetary commodities]] and a [[Planetary Industry#Setting Up a New_Colony|command center]] hold)
 
−
*[[Miasmos]] (specialized ship with a mining hold<ref>A mining hold allows for all harvestable resources to be held inside it (asteroid & moon ore, gas, and ice)</ref>)

== {{Anchor|T2 Industrials}}Transport ship ==
 
−
'''Transport ships'''<ref>To be found in the market under Haulers and Industrial Ships - Advanced Haulers - Transport Ships</ref>, previously known as tech 2 industrials, can be divided in two types with different foci. Both of these ship types require the {{sk|Transport Ships}} skill.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Blockade Runners ===
 
−
{{main|Blockade Runner}}
 
−
Primary use: Relatively small and/or very expensive cargo through lowsec/nullsec/w-space.
 
−
 
 
−
Blockade runners are the fastest and most agile industrial ships by quite a margin. They can align as quickly as a [[frigate]], are some of the fastest ships in EVE at warp speeds, and even at sub-light speeds they can fly as quickly as a fast cruiser. Additionally, they can fit covert ops [[cloaking|cloaking devices]] (and hence can warp while cloaked). This means that the only real danger to a properly fitted and flown blockade runner are the [[Interdiction 101|warp disruption bubbles]] in nullsec and w-space.
 
−
 
 
−
They can carry a little less cargo than the fast transport haulers, but can be fitted to carry up to about 10,000m<sup>3</sup> of cargo (enough to carry a packaged [[cruiser]]) at the cost of reduced agility and/or speed.

* {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Prorator]]
 
−
* {{icon|isis caldari|22}}[[Crane]]
 
−
* {{icon|isis gallente|22}}[[Viator]]
 
−
* {{icon|isis minmatar|22}}[[Prowler]]
 
−
 
 
−
=== Deep Space Transports ===
 
−
Primary use: Very bulky, expensive cargo through highsec or scouted lowsec.
 
−
 
 
−
Unlike blockade runners, deep space transports (DST) have a larger capacity than their hauler equivalents. They also have a fleet hangar that holds (base) 50,000m³.  They have bonuses to active tanking, either shield resistances or armor resistances, helping them to fit substantial [[Buffer|buffer]] tanks.  Finally, they get a unique role bonus of 100% to overheating benefits of Afterburners, Microwarpdrives, Local Repair Modules, and Resistance Modules.
 
−
 
 
−
They also have a role bonus of +2 warp strength: this means they can't be tackled by just one warp disruptor or non-faction warp scrambler, though they can still be caught by bubbles, gangs of tacklers or [[Cruiser#Heavy Interdiction Cruisers|HICs]].
 
−
 
 
−
Where blockade runners are meant to rely on speed and stealth to slip by the enemy, deep space transports are designed to bust their way through the enemy, relying on their warp strength and tanking abilities to escape. This probably won't work against a determined and well-prepared gatecamp, and using a deep space transport indicates to all and sundry that you have cargo you want to protect, so you should think carefully before deploying one.

−
 
 
−
All DSTs have a base 50k m³ (60k m³ with the Transport Ships skill trained to IV) fleet hangar which can hold any type of cargo, assembled ships, or even packaged battleships. As such, fitting these ships for cargo is redundant since cargo rigs and modules only affect the much smaller main cargo bay. DSTs should be fit and skilled into to play to their active tanking and overheating bonuses in order to maximize survivability, as these ships will primarily be used to transport large quantities of high-value goods.
 
−
 
 
−
== Freighters==
 
−
 
 
−
Primary use: Moving massive freight through hisec, often between trade hubs.
 
−
 
 
−
Freighters are the ultimate cargo carrying ships, with vast cargo holds. Freighters can often be spotted on New Eden's major highsec trade routes, while the Tech 2 jump freighters are used to transport cargo out to nullsec. All freighters have no high, mid, or rig slots but with the Kronos expansion received 3 low slots, with restrictive CPU and Powergrid to limit the available modules with a role bonus to Reinforced Bulkheads. A freighter pilot's only other way of enhancing their ship's performance is via [[Implants#Skill Hardwirings|hardwiring implants]].
 
−
 
 
−
Freighters are subject to certain restrictions: Assembled containers and assembled secure containers cannot be put in a freighter's cargo hold, so that pilots can't use containers to increase freighters' cargo capacity in the same way that they're used to increase the capacity of [[hauler]]s.
 
−
 
 
−
Use Freighters for huge cargo through high sec and very short distances into low sec. These require proper support (someone to web for faster aligns, scouts, preferably some EW).
 
−
 
 
−
The four Tech 1 general freighters are good for carrying very large amounts of cargo in high security space. They align and warp too slowly to be safely used in lowsec or nullsec. Freighters are very tough, but they are definitely ''not'' immune to suicide ganking -- organized and prepared groups of gankers can and do kill freighters.
 
−
 
 
−
The Tech 1 ORE Freighter is specialized in carrying assembled ships, and is used widely for transporting Incursion ships through high security space.
 
−
 
 
−
All five freighters get 5% bonuses to cargo capacity (or ship maintenance bay in the case of the Bowhead) and velocity per level of their pilot's racial freighter skill ({{sk|Amarr Freighter|icon=yes}}, {{sk|Gallente Freighter|icon=yes}}, etc.).  Since you must train the freighter skill to at least level I, the base capacity of the ship is only used to calculate the actual capacity. It is worth noting that the Caldari freighters with Caldari Freighter IV can hold more than any other freighter, even with their respective freighter skills trained to V.
 
−
 
 
−
With the Kronos update, freighters and jump freighters all gained 3 low slots and reductions in cargo capacity. They can be fit to surpass their pre-Kronos cargo capacities with expanded cargoholds at the expense of tank. The tendency for freighter pilots to fit for maximum ISK rather than maximum tank and then proceed to autopilot their freighters between trade hubs led to [http://themittani.com/features/post-kronos-aufay-burns widespread ganking]. As such, it is strongly recommended that pilots who unwisely opt to autopilot their ships fit reinforced bulkheads instead in order to protect their investments.

The {{icon|isis amarr|22}}[[Providence]] has
 
−
*A cargo hold starting at a base of 435,000 m3 and a max of 1,127,015 m3
 
−
*A velocity starting at a base of 70 m/s

−
* The slowest velocity of the group, started at a base 60 m/s
 
−
* Least agile of the group.
 
  
−
The {{icon|isis gallente|22}}[[Obelisk]] has
+
Each empire faction has its own haulers, which require the corresponding hauler skill. [[Alpha clones]] are limited to level one of those skills. The haulers get 5% bonuses to cargo capacity and either agility (fast transports) or velocity (bulk transports) per skill level.
−
* A cargo hold starting at a base of 440,000 m3 and a max of 1,139,969 m3
 
−
* A velocity starting at a base of 65 m/s
 
−
* Highest EHP of the group.
 
  
−
The {{icon|isis minmatar|22}}[[Fenrir]] has
+
Each empire has certain general characteristics for their cargo ships and those transfer for Haulers too. Caldari have the biggest base cargo hold. Amarr have more low slots though and thus have the biggest potential cargo hold after fitting. Minmatar has the best base align time. Gallente is fairly balanced between those three and also a lot of specialized variants. It's very quick to train into the first level thus you might want to do so for all of them. Considerations to which faction you commit more are usually rather dictated by their T2 variants, the [[Blockade Runners]] and [[Deep Space Transports]].
−
* The same size cargo hold as the Providence, starting at a base of 435,000 m3 and a max of 1,127,015 m3
 
−
* The fastest velocity of the group, started at a base 80 m/s)
 
−
* Most agile of the group.
 
  
−
The {{icon|isis ore|22}}[[Bowhead]] has
+
Haulers can fit [[Interdiction Nullifier]]s and industrial cynos. They count as medium sized hulls and thus fit medium rigs and 10mn afterburners or 50mn microwarpdrives are considered the normal size. Their powergrid is very limited but the CPU is rather good. The low slots are often filled with expanded cargoholds, though these can be swapped out with inertial stabilizers or nanofiber internal structures for smaller hauls to increase agility, thereby decreasing align time and cutting down a little on travel time. Agility mods are especially important on fast transports operating in low security space. If you are looking to do a lot of [[distribution missions]] or otherwise do a lot of traveling, warp speed rigs (Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizers) can cut travel time by more than half. It's also pretty popular to fit for the [[Cloak trick|MWD + cloak trick]].
−
* A negligible general cargo hold of 4,000 m3
 
−
* An enormous Ship Maintenance Bay of 1,600,000 m3
 
−
* A velocity starting at a base of 65 m/s
 
  
−
====Freighter Capacity====
+
The game treats the [[Noctis]] and [[Primae]] also as haulers. This means that if a gated site allows haulers, those ships are allowed too. We won't go into further details about them here but refer to their corresponding pages as they're rather unique and don't fit into the rest of the haulers.

=== Jump Freighters (T2 Freighter) ===
+
== Bulk transports ==
−
{{main|Jump Freighters}}
+
which have a much higher capacity than the fast transports, but are slower. Each empire has one bulk transport:
−
The Tech 2 versions of freighters, jump freighters, have a reduced cargo capacity but are capable of using cynosural fields to jump long distances. They are also able to use stargates like normal ships. (Since cynosural fields cannot be lit in highsec, jump freighters travelling in highsec have to use stargates.) This makes them ideal supply ships for people who live in nullsec.
+
* {{sh|Bestower}}
 +
* {{sh|Tayra}}
 +
* {{sh|Iteron Mark V}}
 +
* {{sh|Mammoth}}
 +
As an example, a [[Bestower]] can be fit to carry up to 39k{{m3}} but takes 13 seconds to align and has less than 8k EHP.
  
−
Jump freighters get 5% bonuses to cargo capacity and agility per level of the pilot's racial freighter skill, and 10% bonuses to shield, armor and hull hitpoints for each level the pilot has in {{sk|Jump Freighters}}. The Jump Freighters skill also gives them a 10% per level reduction in jump fuel needs.
+
== Specialized transports ==
 +
Specialized transports are similar to bulk transports in terms of tank and agility but have an additional specialized and often very large hold that can carry only certain types of items (such as ammunition or minerals).  
  
−
'''Jump Freighter Capacity'''
+
The fitting of specialized haulers is different compared to other haulers, mainly because the specialized holds cannot be made bigger by Expanded Cargohold modules or Cargohold Optimization rigs. But on the flipside, these holds also do not shrink from fitting Transverse Bulkhead rigs, Reinforced Bulkhead or Overdrive modules, which decrease normal cargohold capacity.

Use Jump Freighters to carry cargo from the high/low sec border to wherever it is needed in null sec and back again. Caldari freighters are the largest, closely followed by Gallente, then Amarr and lastly Minmatar, which is partially compensated for by lower fuel use. The difference is not large though.
+
With the Equinox update, specialized Planetary Industry Haulers have been added. These armed Upwell ships have a moderately sized standard cargo hold and a very large '''Infrastructure Hold''' that is capable of holding all [[Planetary Industry]] reagents, [[Upwell structures]] and their modules and rigs, sovereignty structures, fuel blocks, refined moon & ice materials and standup consumables and fighters.<ref name="values" />

 +
* {{sh|Torrent}} (T2 PI hauler, [[Deep Space Transport]] equivalent. Infra hold: 60,000 m3, Fleet hangar: 30,000{{m3}})
  
−
Jump freighters have much larger potential tanks than Tech 1 freighters when properly fit, but at the cost of a much reduced cargo bay. All jump freighters can exceed 500,000 EHP in tank, which makes ganking them in highsec extraordinarily difficult and expensive.
+
== History ==

Ships by faction
This page is about the ship group Haulers and not hauling ships in general. You can find an overview of hauling ships on Hauling. For other meanings of hauler(s) see Hauler (Disambiguation)

Haulers are T1 cargo ships which can be divided into three subgroups:

  • Fast transports, which are used to move low-volume, high-value goods quickly and safely.
  • Bulk transports, which have a much higher capacity than the fast transports, but are slower and have less tank.
  • Specialized transports, which are similar to bulk transports in terms of tank and agility but have an extra, specialized, very large, hold that can carry only one type of item (such as ammunition or minerals)

Each empire faction has its own haulers, which require the corresponding hauler skill. Alpha clones are limited to level one of those skills. The haulers get 5% bonuses to cargo capacity and either agility (fast transports) or velocity (bulk transports) per skill level.

Each empire has certain general characteristics for their cargo ships and those transfer for Haulers too. Caldari have the biggest base cargo hold. Amarr have more low slots though and thus have the biggest potential cargo hold after fitting. Minmatar has the best base align time. Gallente is fairly balanced between those three and also a lot of specialized variants. It's very quick to train into the first level thus you might want to do so for all of them. Considerations to which faction you commit more are usually rather dictated by their T2 variants, the Blockade Runners and Deep Space Transports.

Haulers can fit Interdiction Nullifiers and industrial cynos. They count as medium sized hulls and thus fit medium rigs and 10mn afterburners or 50mn microwarpdrives are considered the normal size. Their powergrid is very limited but the CPU is rather good. The low slots are often filled with expanded cargoholds, though these can be swapped out with inertial stabilizers or nanofiber internal structures for smaller hauls to increase agility, thereby decreasing align time and cutting down a little on travel time. Agility mods are especially important on fast transports operating in low security space. If you are looking to do a lot of distribution missions or otherwise do a lot of traveling, warp speed rigs (Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizers) can cut travel time by more than half. It's also pretty popular to fit for the MWD + cloak trick.

The game treats the Noctis and Primae also as haulers. This means that if a gated site allows haulers, those ships are allowed too. We won't go into further details about them here but refer to their corresponding pages as they're rather unique and don't fit into the rest of the haulers.

Fast transports

Fast transports are used to move low-volume, high-value goods quickly and safely. Each empire has one fast transport:

As an example, a Wreathe can be fit to align in as little as 4 seconds while having 22k EHP, but would only have a cargo capacity of up to 4,622 m3.

Bulk transports

which have a much higher capacity than the fast transports, but are slower. Each empire has one bulk transport:

As an example, a Bestower can be fit to carry up to 39k m3 but takes 13 seconds to align and has less than 8k EHP.

Specialized transports

Specialized transports are similar to bulk transports in terms of tank and agility but have an additional specialized and often very large hold that can carry only certain types of items (such as ammunition or minerals).

The fitting of specialized haulers is different compared to other haulers, mainly because the specialized holds cannot be made bigger by Expanded Cargohold modules or Cargohold Optimization rigs. But on the flipside, these holds also do not shrink from fitting Transverse Bulkhead rigs, Reinforced Bulkhead or Overdrive modules, which decrease normal cargohold capacity.

Not every empire has a specialized transport. The Minmatar have one while the Gallente even have three:[1]

  • Gallente Epithal (T1 hauler specialized for PI. PI hold: 45,000 m3, command center hold: 6,000 m3)
  • Minmatar Hoarder (T1 hauler specialized for ammo and gas. Ammo hold: 41,000 m3, gas hold: 30,000 m3)
  • Gallente Kryos (T1 hauler specialized for ice and minerals. Ice hold: 30,000 m3, mineral hold: 50,000 m3)
  • Gallente Miasmos (T1 hauler specialized for raw ores. Mining hold: 42,000 m3)[2]

With the Equinox update, specialized Planetary Industry Haulers have been added. These armed Upwell ships have a moderately sized standard cargo hold and a very large Infrastructure Hold that is capable of holding all Planetary Industry reagents, Upwell structures and their modules and rigs, sovereignty structures, fuel blocks, refined moon & ice materials and standup consumables and fighters.[1]

History

With the April 2022 Version 20.04 the industrial ship class has been renamed to hauler.[3]

On 18 May 2021, Haulers gained the ability to fit interdiction nullifiers.[4]
