This page will present an overview on how to most efficiently create an alternate character (usually on a second account) for hauling most efficiently. This can be considered a current, text version of the [http://classes.eve-ivy.com/ Alt Hauling 101] audio class.

 +
A hauler alt is a character trained specifically for hauling. There are many reasons to create such an alt, but it primarily stems from a need to move things to and from places on your own timetable.
  
−
= Overview =
+
This guide is designed to train an alt into [[Deep Space Transport]] and [[Blockade Runner]]. This is sufficient for most personal haulers, but if needed you can train an alt into a [[Freighter]], [[Bowhead]], and [[Jump Freighter]]. The guide is segmented to allow you to pick and choose which ship types you wish to train your alt into based on your needs. Hauling is generally a skill that requires {{clonestate|Omega}} and this guide assumes that your hauler alt is either on its own Omega account or that you are using [[Multiple Character Training]].

Our goal is to be able to haul the most amount of stuff (measured in m^3) in the least amount of time from a new character's perspective. In doing this task, [http://evemon.battleclinic.com/ EVEMon] is your friend, and this guide basically shows you some career paths that you can then customize.
+
You will want to use the appropriate skill plan for the empire faction you're training into: Armor-tanked support skill for Gallente/Amarr and Shield-tanked support skill for Minmatar/Caldari.
  
−
The route you take depends on the race of the character, as all characters now (1/1/2010) start with minimal skills but those include racial frigate skills. The best route to take is to create an Amarr character to fly the [http://eve.wikia.com/wiki/Bestower Amarr Bestower], which can haul over 13,000 m^3 with a minimally trained set of skills!
+
== Why use a hauler alt? ==
 +
Training into a hauler can be a long train, especially if training into Jump Freighters. Training one character to do hauling as well as a variety of other activities takes significantly longer and delays being able to either well. Specialization with multiple characters means that you can do both well when training into the desired skills is completed. Additionally, training a hauler alt on a separate account means that you can haul your cargo while doing something else as opposed to choosing between two activities. A hauler alt is also useful because they can be put in a player-owned alt corp such as the [[EVE_University_Hall_of_Residence|Hall of Residence]] without much concern for things like [[Corporation_diplomacy#Wars|hisec wars]]. Without a hauler alt, hisec wars can mean losing cargo to war targets who camp trade hubs and have a proficiency in destroying anything that undocks from the main hub stations.

= Creating a Bestower Pilot =
+
When hauling with a Jump Freighter, it becomes almost entirely necessary to have an alt that can haul while another alt lights an [[Jump_drives#Industrial_Cynosural_Fields|industrial cyno]] at a waypoint to allow the Jump Freighter to get where it's going.
  
−
== Create an Amarr Character ==
+
===Training multiple characters===
 +
If you are creating an alt on an account with other characters, it is important to note that only one character can be training skills at a time '''unless''' you are willing to pay for [[Multiple Character Training]]. Attempting to add skills to the training queue will result in an error, so you will need to pause training on your currently training character if you don't want to pay for MCT.
  
−
The first step, of course, is to create your new character. Lets begin there. After logging in, you will be presented with the character select window. This has three squares of your character; the most recently played one will be on top in a big portrait window, and the others will be below in smaller squares. These may be blank squares that are barely visible, but they will say "Empty" below them in text. Click one of these Empty squares and you will be taken to the character creator.
+
== Why no T1 haulers?  ==
 +
T1 haulers fill a niche created by the fact that other ships simply cannot hold as much as [[haulers]]. If all you want to do is move a large amount of gas, ore, minerals, or planetary commodities from one station or structure within or to a nearby system, then you might consider training up the relevant faction's hauler to fly a [[Haulers#Specialized_transports|specialized hauler]]. For example, at {{Sk|Gallente Hauler|V}} the [[Miasmos]] can hold 63,000m3 which is almost as much as much as a Deep Space Transport's fleet hangar at max skills, but it has a paper tank that cannot hold up against any ganker. Moving anything valuable over longer distances, such as from Stacmon to Jita, puts your cargo at an unnecessary risk. Moving short distances in a T1 hauler in hisec is generally safe, but beyond that T2 haulers are necessary to prevent the loss of all your cargo.
  
−
=== Choose Race ===
+
If you are a member of EVE University and cannot train into T2 hauling ships because you are an {{clonestate|alpha}}, consider using the [[Hauling_Department|University Hauling Service]] to move your stuff around safely for free and the [[Buyback|University Buyback Program]] to sell goods for profit.
  
−
Obviously, since we want to fly the Amarr Bestower most quickly, we'll create an Amarr character, so at the "Choose Race" screen, select Amarr, the top right option. This is the only option that makes any difference from a gameplay perspective, as it affects your starting racial skills (namely, your racial Frigate skill).
+
{{ note box | Notes:

* There are some restrictions on where the University Hauling Service will take your goods and there is a recommended fee for hauling on goods you intend to make a profit on. See the forum post for additional information.

=== Complete Creation ===
+
== Preparing for training  ==
 +
It is important to read about [[hauling]] as it will save you a lot of time and frustration. Before you even create a character, consider that the Amarr, Gallente, and Minmatar start with {{Sk|Mechanics|III}} and {{Sk|Hull Upgrades|III}}. Regardless of which faction you start with, you can train into any hauling ship. The {{sh|Charon}} is generally considered the best freighter because of its carrying capacity, but the {{sh|Obelisk}} offers the highest EHP and the {{sh|Fenrir}} is the fastest. The {{sh|Providence}} comes in second for agility and tank which means that it might be considered a balanced option. For Deep Space Transports, the {{sh|Occator}} is the fastest at aligning while the {{sh|Impel}} can fit a solid amount of tank thanks to its generous number of low slots. The {{sh|Mastodon}} is a good choice for those looking for a balanced choice between align time and tank.
  
−
Next, you'll have the ability to chose your bloodline and ancestry. These do not make any difference to the stats you will start with, but they will change your starting appearance and (I believe; this should be verified) the location your character starts.
+
The [[Bowhead]] is a unique freighter in that it does not have a large cargo hold like the other freighters. Instead, it features a massive ship maintenance bay which allows it to haul fitted ships. Note that the Bowhead is shield-tanked and if you want to train both a regular freighter and the Bowhead, you might consider training into one of the shield-tanked transport ships for the fastest train. Otherwise, you could train support skills for both shield and armor-tanked hauling ships.
  
−
Then, you'll choose your gender, which again makes no gameplay difference, and then you'll have an opportunity to set up your appearance and select your name. There is also a very small option that lets you start in space instead of a station, but let's just start in a station.
+
== Skill plan ==
 +
The skill plans are divided up between armor-tanked and shield-tanked ships as well Transport Ships (DSTs and Blockade Runners), Freighters, and Jump Freighters. This guide assumes that if you are going to train into a freighter, you will also be training into DST. If you do not, you can remove the {{Sk|Transport Ships}} skill from the skill queue leaving only empire faction specific hauler skill at the beginning of your ship skills portion of the skill queue. To train {{Sk|Jump Freighters}} you will need to train one of the four main empire faction freighters.
  
−
You'll hit "Create Character" and then be taken back to the character selection screen. Note, you have to wait at least 24 hours before you can delete your new character!
+
All characters start with {{Sk|Cybernetics|I}} which allows the use of +3 [[Implants#Attribute_Enhancers|training implants]] and this guide assumes you are using them, but you may wish to train {{Sk|Cybernetics|V}} to unlock +5 implants and allows you to use implant sets like Amulets (armor) or Nirvanas (shield) for additional tank and Ascendancies (warp time) or Nomads (align time) for speed.
  
−
== Pause Training ==
+
The skill plan utilizes neural remaps to reduce training time. It is not required to use the neural remap, but the difference in time is significant. Because this skill plan utilizes three neural remaps, you will want to create a new character rather than training an existing alt. If you are using an existing character, you might consider using the first and third neural remaps to train up support and ship skills as these are the most lengthy skill trains. If your existing character only has the annual remap, consider remapping for the ship skills section as that will be the longest train. The remaps are as follows:
  
−
If you are creating an alt on an account with other characters, only one character can be training skills at a time. Attempting to add skills to the training queue will result in an error, so let's first go into all our other characters (if any) and pause training:
+
* Support skills: Intelligence-Memory
 +
* Navigation skills: Intelligence-Perception
 +
* Ship skills: Willpower-Perception
  
−
* Open Character Sheet (top left button)
+
The skills are not all maxed, meaning that after you have trained into the ships you wish to fly you may wish to train certain skills further than this skill plan covers, especially the support and navigation skills.
−
* Skills section (on the left, should be default)
 
−
* Skills tab (on the right, should be default)
 
−
* Open Training Queue button (new window pops up)
 
−
* Pause (bottom middle of the new window)
 
  
−
Now, we're ready to train the alt.
+
The skill plan has also been optimized for the dopamine effect of hearing that a skill has completed training by organizing skills from shortest to longest train wherever possible.

for a total of 334,000 ISK. They can in all likelihood be purchased in the starting station, so there's no need to travel.
+
{{Sk|Industry|V|mult=yes}} 4 days, 21 hours, 4 minutes, 50 seconds
  
−
You'll also want to buy a Bestower (best price in Amarr as of this writing is around 550,000 ISK, but 950,000 at the newbie station) as well as a shuttle to get to the Bestower (Around 15,000 for one actually at your station, or shop around for maybe 8,000 or so).

Then, you'll want four Expanded Cargohold II modules (about 650,000 each).

Grant total: About 3.5 million ISK (3,500,000). So, log in your main, find your alt in the ''People & Places'' window, under the ''Buddies'' tab, search for the character name and add to your addressbook. Then, right-click her portrait and ''Send Money'' to her.

{{Sk|Hull Upgrades|IV|mult=yes}} 1 day, 9 hours, 6 minutes, 55 seconds
  
−
Note that I believe if you complete the tutorial mission for industry, you will get a free Bestower, so go ahead and do that if you desire. That will make your training time longer, as I believe some missions require training other skills to complete them.

{{Sk|Kinetic Armor Compensation|IV|mult=yes}} 1 day, 17 hours, 23 minutes, 39 seconds
  
−
The first thing you're going to want to do is start training Amarr Frigate III as soon as you can when you log in. Do this:
+
{{Sk|Armor Rigging|IV|mult=yes}} 2 days, 14 hours, 5 minutes, 30 seconds
  
−
* Open ''Character Sheet'' (top left button)
+
{{Sk|Astronautics Rigging|IV|mult=yes}} 2 days, 14 hours, 5 minutes, 30 seconds
−
* ''Skills'' section (on the left, should be default)
 
−
* ''Skills'' tab (on the right, should be default)
 
−
* Open ''Training Queue'' button (new window pops up)
 
−
* Open the ''Spaceship Command'' skills (bottom of the left side)
 
−
* Highlight ''Amarr Frigate'' by clicking it
 
−
* Click ''Add'' at the bottom
 
−
* Click ''Apply'' at the bottom
 
  
−
Now you will show Amarr Frigate in the left side, counting down from 9h 8m 47s. You have a little time to relax now and do the rest at a more leisurely pace.
+
{{Sk|Mechanics|IV|mult=yes}} 20 hours, 41 minutes, 49 seconds
  
−
Go ahead and close the ''Character Sheet'' window but leave the ''Training Queue'' window open for now.
+
{{Sk|Capacitor Systems Operation|V|mult=yes}} 4 days, 21 hours, 4 minutes, 50 seconds
  
−
It's a good idea not to waste training time, so since you paused your other character's training, you want to get started learning as fast as possible.
+
{{Sk|Capacitor Management|V|mult=yes}} 14 days, 15 hours, 14 minutes, 30 seconds

{{Sk|Jury Rigging|III|mult=yes}} 7 hours, 18 minutes, 2 seconds
−
* Amarr Industrial I (depends on the above)
 
−
* Hull Upgrades II
 
  
−
Since we can't even put the Industrial skill into the queue until we have learned Frigate III, plan to set a timer approximately 9h 8m from now to come back and add that to the training queue.

{{Sk|Industry|V|mult=yes}} 4 days, 21 hours, 4 minutes, 50 seconds
  
−
=== Remaining Training ===
+
{{Sk|Cloaking|IV|mult=yes}} 5 days, 4 hour, 11 minutes
  
−
Now that Frigate III is training, let's purchase Hull Upgrades and add it to the queue.
+
{{Sk|Shield Operation|IV|mult=yes}} 20 hours, 41 minutes, 49 seconds
  
−
* Open the ''Market'' window
+
{{Sk|Shield Upgrades|IV|mult=yes}} 1 day, 17 hours, 23 minutes, 39 seconds
−
* Click the ''Search'' tab on the top left
 
−
* Type "Hull Upgrades" into the text box and click the ''Search'' button
 
−
* Select the ''Hull Upgrades'' that shows up below the ''Search'' button by clicking it
 
−
* Click the ''Jumps'' column header under ''Sellers'' to the right so it has a triangle pointing up (▲ - this will only display if you have a good Unicode font)
 
  
−
There should now be a row starting ''Station'' with the skill book for sale for 54,000.00 ISK at your current location, with an expiration in 364d and change. Right click that row and choose ''Buy This''. Verify the information in the window that pops up, and click ''Buy''. Now you have your next skill to add to the queue. Close the ''Market'' window.
+
{{Sk|Hull Upgrades|IV|mult=yes}} 1 day, 9 hours, 6 minutes, 55 seconds
  
−
Open your station items by clicking the ''Items'' button on the left of the screen. In there, you'll see a book labeled ''Hull Upgrades''. Right-click this and select ''Inject Skill''. Now, that skill will be in your ''Training Queue'' window under the ''Mechanic'' skills.
+
{{Sk|Explosive Shield Compensation|IV|mult=yes}} 1 day, 17 hours, 23 minutes, 39 seconds
  
−
So, go back to your ''Training Queue'' window, find the ''Hull Upgrades'' skill, and click ''Add'' twice on it to train it to level II. In total, these two things will take just under two hours.
+
{{Sk|EM Shield Compensation|IV|mult=yes}} 1 day, 17 hours, 23 minutes, 39 seconds
  
−
Now, because it's a bad idea to leave your queue less than full (in case something comes up in real life), pick other skills and fill out your queue (using the ''Add'' button). Preferably, add a long skill to the very end, and as many short skills before then. Your longest training skill now will be Frigate IV, but you might also wish to learn Spaceship Command III.
+
{{Sk|Thermal Shield Compensation|IV|mult=yes}} 1 day, 17 hours, 23 minutes, 39 seconds
  
−
While we're waiting, let's purchase the ''Amarr Industrial'' skill book in the same manner as you did the Hull Upgrades book above, so we have it when we need it. Only do this if you're planning to stay at the same station, and do not transport the book. Skill books are safest in a dock and in your head, so I recommend not to make a habit of traveling around with them if you want to learn them (using them as trade items is another story).

−
=== Amarr Industrial ===
+
{{Sk|Shield Rigging|IV|mult=yes}} 2 days, 14 hours, 5 minutes, 30 seconds
  
−
So, you now have a two hour window between the end of training Frigate IV and the end of your Hull Upgrades requirements. Plan to be back at the computer during this window (some 9 to 11 hours from now).
+
{{Sk|Astronautics Rigging|IV|mult=yes}} 2 days, 14 hours, 5 minutes, 30 seconds
  
−
At this point, right-click the skill book in your ''Items'' list, and select ''Train now to level 1'', and say "OK" to any pop-up window. If that is not an option, do this instead:
+
{{Sk|Tactical Shield Manipulation|IV|mult=yes}} 2 days, 10 hours, 47 minutes, 19 seconds
  
−
* Right-click and choose ''Inject Skill''
+
{{Sk|Mechanics|IV|mult=yes}} 20 hours, 41 minutes, 49 seconds
−
* In your Training Queue window, it should now show up under ''Spaceship Command''. Drag it from there to the top of the queue to the right, so it trains first.
 
−
* Click the ''Apply'' button
 
  
−
This skill will train in just over 40 minutes.

The Bestower is the fastest return for the most space. However, other races (well, except the Caldari like me) have decent hauling capability depending on the training investment. The Mammoth is often considered the best hauler for a week of training, giving almost half again the Bestower's space (with Expanded Cargohold IIs).

== Fitting haulers  ==
 +
Hauling ships can be fit in a few different ways. For DSTs, you can fit for extra cargo, tank, or align. For freighters, you can fit for extra cargo or extra tank. Generally speaking, you only want to replace what's necessary to carry the haul. The fits below are designed for tank with extra cargo in hold. Note that it is generally a good idea to keep the main hold of a DST solely for things the DST needs and the fleet hangar for cargo.
 +
 
 +
===Deep Space Transports===
 +
These are fits that give you good tank somewhere between 70k-100k EHP.

== Optimize with Giant Secure Containers  ==
 +
There are items called ''Giant Secure Containers'' (GSC) which take up 3,000 {{m3}} in your cargo hold. The interesting thing is that you can put 3,900 {{m3}} of stuff in a GSC - which means you get a 30% space bonus.
 +
 
 +
{{ note box | Notes:
 +
* Giant Secure Containers are great but with a minor limitation, they cannot store some goods like frozen food, or livestock. So keep this in mind if you are using these containers to haul goods.

== Earning ISK via hauling  ==
 +
 
 +
Earning ISK via hauling can be done both with players and NPCs. To make money hauling for players, try keeping an eye out for courier contracts in the in-game channel: {{co|slateblue|Hauler's Channel}}. Just be mindful that people will sometimes try to use courier contracts to scam you.
 +
 
 +
You can also earn ISK hauling with [[Distribution missions]]. Be aware that L1 missions sometimes require combat and therefore if you're grinding standings, it may be worth reading mission guides to make sure you have what you need.

Skill plans
Skill training

A hauler alt is a character trained specifically for hauling. There are many reasons to create such an alt, but it primarily stems from a need to move things to and from places on your own timetable.

This guide is designed to train an alt into Deep Space Transport and Blockade Runner. This is sufficient for most personal haulers, but if needed you can train an alt into a Freighter, Bowhead, and Jump Freighter. The guide is segmented to allow you to pick and choose which ship types you wish to train your alt into based on your needs. Hauling is generally a skill that requires Omega.png Omega clone and this guide assumes that your hauler alt is either on its own Omega account or that you are using Multiple Character Training.

You will want to use the appropriate skill plan for the empire faction you're training into: Armor-tanked support skill for Gallente/Amarr and Shield-tanked support skill for Minmatar/Caldari.

Why use a hauler alt?

Training into a hauler can be a long train, especially if training into Jump Freighters. Training one character to do hauling as well as a variety of other activities takes significantly longer and delays being able to either well. Specialization with multiple characters means that you can do both well when training into the desired skills is completed. Additionally, training a hauler alt on a separate account means that you can haul your cargo while doing something else as opposed to choosing between two activities. A hauler alt is also useful because they can be put in a player-owned alt corp such as the Hall of Residence without much concern for things like hisec wars. Without a hauler alt, hisec wars can mean losing cargo to war targets who camp trade hubs and have a proficiency in destroying anything that undocks from the main hub stations.

When hauling with a Jump Freighter, it becomes almost entirely necessary to have an alt that can haul while another alt lights an industrial cyno at a waypoint to allow the Jump Freighter to get where it's going.

Training multiple characters

If you are creating an alt on an account with other characters, it is important to note that only one character can be training skills at a time unless you are willing to pay for Multiple Character Training. Attempting to add skills to the training queue will result in an error, so you will need to pause training on your currently training character if you don't want to pay for MCT.

Why no T1 haulers?

T1 haulers fill a niche created by the fact that other ships simply cannot hold as much as haulers. If all you want to do is move a large amount of gas, ore, minerals, or planetary commodities from one station or structure within or to a nearby system, then you might consider training up the relevant faction's hauler to fly a specialized hauler. For example, at Gallente Hauler V the Miasmos can hold 63,000m3 which is almost as much as much as a Deep Space Transport's fleet hangar at max skills, but it has a paper tank that cannot hold up against any ganker. Moving anything valuable over longer distances, such as from Stacmon to Jita, puts your cargo at an unnecessary risk. Moving short distances in a T1 hauler in hisec is generally safe, but beyond that T2 haulers are necessary to prevent the loss of all your cargo.

If you are a member of EVE University and cannot train into T2 hauling ships because you are an Alpha.png Alpha clone, consider using the University Hauling Service to move your stuff around safely for free and the University Buyback Program to sell goods for profit.

Notes:
  • There are some restrictions on where the University Hauling Service will take your goods and there is a recommended fee for hauling on goods you intend to make a profit on. See the forum post for additional information.

Preparing for training

It is important to read about hauling as it will save you a lot of time and frustration. Before you even create a character, consider that the Amarr, Gallente, and Minmatar start with Mechanics III and Hull Upgrades III. Regardless of which faction you start with, you can train into any hauling ship. The Caldari Charon is generally considered the best freighter because of its carrying capacity, but the Gallente Obelisk offers the highest EHP and the Minmatar Fenrir is the fastest. The Amarr Providence comes in second for agility and tank which means that it might be considered a balanced option. For Deep Space Transports, the Gallente Occator is the fastest at aligning while the Amarr Impel can fit a solid amount of tank thanks to its generous number of low slots. The Minmatar Mastodon is a good choice for those looking for a balanced choice between align time and tank.

The Bowhead is a unique freighter in that it does not have a large cargo hold like the other freighters. Instead, it features a massive ship maintenance bay which allows it to haul fitted ships. Note that the Bowhead is shield-tanked and if you want to train both a regular freighter and the Bowhead, you might consider training into one of the shield-tanked transport ships for the fastest train. Otherwise, you could train support skills for both shield and armor-tanked hauling ships.

Skill plan

The skill plans are divided up between armor-tanked and shield-tanked ships as well Transport Ships (DSTs and Blockade Runners), Freighters, and Jump Freighters. This guide assumes that if you are going to train into a freighter, you will also be training into DST. If you do not, you can remove the Transport Ships skill from the skill queue leaving only empire faction specific hauler skill at the beginning of your ship skills portion of the skill queue. To train Jump Freighters you will need to train one of the four main empire faction freighters.

All characters start with Cybernetics I which allows the use of +3 training implants and this guide assumes you are using them, but you may wish to train Cybernetics V to unlock +5 implants and allows you to use implant sets like Amulets (armor) or Nirvanas (shield) for additional tank and Ascendancies (warp time) or Nomads (align time) for speed.

The skill plan utilizes neural remaps to reduce training time. It is not required to use the neural remap, but the difference in time is significant. Because this skill plan utilizes three neural remaps, you will want to create a new character rather than training an existing alt. If you are using an existing character, you might consider using the first and third neural remaps to train up support and ship skills as these are the most lengthy skill trains. If your existing character only has the annual remap, consider remapping for the ship skills section as that will be the longest train. The remaps are as follows:

  • Support skills: Intelligence-Memory
  • Navigation skills: Intelligence-Perception
  • Ship skills: Willpower-Perception

The skills are not all maxed, meaning that after you have trained into the ships you wish to fly you may wish to train certain skills further than this skill plan covers, especially the support and navigation skills.

The skill plan has also been optimized for the dopamine effect of hearing that a skill has completed training by organizing skills from shortest to longest train wherever possible.

Fitting haulers

Hauling ships can be fit in a few different ways. For DSTs, you can fit for extra cargo, tank, or align. For freighters, you can fit for extra cargo or extra tank. Generally speaking, you only want to replace what's necessary to carry the haul. The fits below are designed for tank with extra cargo in hold. Note that it is generally a good idea to keep the main hold of a DST solely for things the DST needs and the fleet hangar for cargo.

Deep Space Transports

These are fits that give you good tank somewhere between 70k-100k EHP.

Optimize with Giant Secure Containers

There are items called Giant Secure Containers (GSC) which take up 3,000  m3 in your cargo hold. The interesting thing is that you can put 3,900  m3 of stuff in a GSC - which means you get a 30% space bonus.

Notes:
  • Giant Secure Containers are great but with a minor limitation, they cannot store some goods like frozen food, or livestock. So keep this in mind if you are using these containers to haul goods.

Earning ISK via hauling

Earning ISK via hauling can be done both with players and NPCs. To make money hauling for players, try keeping an eye out for courier contracts in the in-game channel: Hauler's Channel. Just be mindful that people will sometimes try to use courier contracts to scam you.

You can also earn ISK hauling with Distribution missions. Be aware that L1 missions sometimes require combat and therefore if you're grinding standings, it may be worth reading mission guides to make sure you have what you need.

Credits
