'''Hauling''' is the practice of moving cargo from one place to another. Due to limited cargo hold sizes and travel times, moving things in EVE can be a time consuming and, in some places, dangerous business. Some players specialize in hauling, whether to move goods from one market to another, or to bring supplies and ships to the staging ground for a null sec alliance. This can be done for its own purposes, or can be done on behalf of others in exchange for ISK rewards via the contracting system. This can be a very viable way to make ISK for medium-skilled players. | '''Hauling''' is the practice of moving cargo from one place to another.

They can carry a little less cargo than the Tech 1 fast transports, but can be fitted to carry up to about 10,000m{{m3}} of cargo (enough to carry a [[Assembling and repackaging|packaged]] [[cruisers]]) at the cost of reduced agility and/or speed. | They can carry a little less cargo than the Tech 1 fast transports, but can be fitted to carry up to about 10,000m{{m3}} of cargo (enough to carry a [[Assembling and repackaging|packaged]] [[cruisers]]) at the cost of reduced agility and/or speed. | ||

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.

Flying AFK using the autopilot is the #1 way that most haulers lose their ships. | Flying AFK using the autopilot is the #1 way that most haulers lose their ships. When you use the autopilot to fly you to your destination, it warps you to 15km from the next gate then you slowly approach the gate at 100-200 m/s (slower in a Freighter). At a minimum, this leaves you exposed for about a minute per gate and gives any potential attacker time to scan your ship, scan your cargo, then get ahead of you and setup a gank party. At worst, it gives you time to be bumped and ganked right there. | ||
If you must fly AFK, know your route, keep your cargo value very low, and fit as much buffer tank as possible. There are areas of space where flying AFK is reasonably safe, but the longer you do it, the higher the chances that someone will notice the pattern and try to take advantage of it. | If you must fly AFK, know your route, keep your cargo value very low, and fit as much buffer tank as possible.

In the case of low/null security space, a [[Tackling#Warp core stabilizers|WCS]] (warp core stabilizer) may be the difference between getting away and getting blown up. | ||
For T1 haulers ships, you will want to fit as many medium/large shield extenders into the mid slots as possible. | For T1 haulers ships, you will want to fit as many medium/large shield extenders into the mid slots as possible. This should be balanced with shoring up your weak EMP/Thermal resist holes using Multispectrum Shield Hardener modules or Shield Resist Amplifier modules. In cases where you need more EHP and can sacrifice cargo space, consider adding DC2 ([[Tanking|Damage Control Unit]] II) modules, reinforced bulkheads, or armor resist modules. A poorly fit T1 industrial hauler will only have 4k to 6k EHP, a well fit T1 hauler can have 10k to 20k EHP without sacrificing too much cargo space. | ||
For Orcas, the standard fit is a DC2 and a Reinforced Bulkhead II in the Low Slots and three Large Transverse Bulkhead II rigs. | For Orcas, the standard fit is a DC2 and a Reinforced Bulkhead II in the Low Slots and three Large Transverse Bulkhead II rigs. This takes your ship from about 150k EHP up to about 420k EHP. The addition of some passive shield resistance amplifiers (2x EM, 1x Kinetic, 1x Thermal) will increase the EHP to about 450k without any shield skills. Replacing the passive Amplifiers with active Hardeners adds another bit of EHP but requires more attention and has no effect on alpha damage. Using Cargo rigs is discouraged since you lose about 170k EHP for a low amount of additional cargohold. | ||
You should train {{Sk|Hull Upgrades|IV}} and {{Sk|Mechanics|IV}} (or better V) before undocking, being able to use a [[Tanking|DCU II]] gives a really nice EHP boost and since you are almost full-hull-tank, the extra 5% from Mechanics V are also very nice.

Blockade runners rely on good bookmarks, crafty use of their Covert Ops Cloak, [[Propulsion equipment#Afterburners and microwarpdrives|MWD]], and not fitting anything that would increase signature radius (no shield extenders). | Blockade runners rely on good bookmarks, crafty use of their Covert Ops Cloak, [[Propulsion equipment#Afterburners and microwarpdrives|MWD]], and not fitting anything that would increase signature radius (no shield extenders). Due to their use of a covops cloak, well-flown blockade runners can be almost impossible to catch in hi-sec / lo-sec. So they are a good choice for more expensive cargo runs. But they are also very flimsy and can easily be ganked if you leave them uncloaked at a gate. | ||
Deep Space Transports, used in high-security space, haul almost exclusively in their Fleet Hangar which is unaffected by expanded cargoholds, so low slots can be used entirely for armor tank, or for shield tanked ships, for ability/speed modules. | Deep Space Transports, used in high-security space, haul almost exclusively in their Fleet Hangar which is unaffected by expanded cargoholds, so low slots can be used entirely for armor tank, or for shield tanked ships, for ability/speed modules. | ||
Freighters and Jump Freighters have three low slots and can fit any combination of cargohold expanders, nanofiber structures, inertia stabilizers, or reinforced bulkheads. How you fit a freighter depends on what you want to do, but it is strongly recommended to fit reinforced bulkheads whenever possible and to not fit cargohold expanders unless absolutely necessary, as the expanders will reduce your overall tank substantially. | Freighters and Jump Freighters have three low slots and can fit any combination of cargohold expanders, nanofiber structures, inertia stabilizers, or reinforced bulkheads.

As your cargo value exceeds 1B ISK, combined with traveling through systems with a security status in the 0.5-0.6 range, it becomes more and more likely that someone will gank you for your cargo value. This is a bit of a fuzzy rule of thumb and in the quieter portions of the galaxy with routes that take you only through 0.8 and above systems, you can get away with hauling higher value cargo loads for a very long time. | ||
When you have expensive cargo above 1B to be moved in a freighter, you may want to consider double-wrapping it (create courier contract for some other alt of yours and then create another courier contract from this alt to actual freighter pilot). It will hide the contents of this package (assembled containers give same result), but some gankers tend to gank double wrapped transports without knowing what's inside, so most people (including hauling corporations) consider this will increase the risk, not decrease it. | When you have expensive cargo above 1B to be moved in a freighter, you may want to consider double-wrapping it (create courier contract for some other alt of yours and then create another courier contract from this alt to actual freighter pilot).
