Distribution missions: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Standings Grind: I tried to give an overview of why to do distribution missions for standings without going overboard.

If the Sunesis is too expensive for you, you can also use a [[Frigates#Exploration|T1 exploration frigate]] ([[Magnate]], [[Heron]], [[Imicus]], [[Probe]]). They have a base cargo capacity of 400 {{m3}} so it is suggested to fit at least one expanded cargohold. You can achieve align times of under three seconds with fitting and good skills but you cannot go under two seconds (at least not reasonably). This means gate camps might more often catch you. If you're not wardecced, this isn't a big issue in highsec. In lowsec, you might want to use [[Cloak trick|MWD + cloak trick]] (which is also an option for you in the Sunesis).

If you have already access to a [[Blockade Runners|blockade runner]], you could use it not only for higher level distribution missions but also for the low levels.

===Level 3 and Level 4===
As the required capacity can range up to 4 000{{m3}} for level 3 and 8 000{{m3}} for level 4, you will need to move up from a frigate to a bigger ship. A good option which is cheap and has low skill requirements are [[Haulers_(ship_group)#Fast_transports|T1 fast transports]] ([[Sigil]], [[Badger]], [[Nereus]], [[Wreathe]]) which are all able to reach the required cargo capacity with sufficient expanded cargohold even at low skill. While you're going to need to be able to fit up to 8 000 {{m3}}, most missions require 4 000-5 000 {{m3}} which will allow fitting more inertial stabilizers for a faster align speed. Hyperspatial rigs are used for higher warp speed. Cloak and MWD are nice to have for the [[Cloak trick|MWD + cloak trick]]. Anything that increases warp speed, increases agility, or decreases inertial modifiers will help speed up your distribution runs. While there are some differences between the different fast transports, you mostly want to go for the one where you have the best skills.
