Ark: Difference between revisions

Line 93:

Though the Ark only needs level IV of this skill to be piloted, highly consider taking Amarr Freighter to V as soon as possible. This will both boost the cargo capacity of the ship, reducing the number of trips needed to transport goods, as well as improving the ships inertia allowing you to travel between stargates faster.

~~==Fitting==~~

Though expensive, consider using ORE Expanded Cargohold modules if you wish to cram your freighter with as much as possible. Your structure is most of what is standing between you and any pirates seeking to take down your ship in high security space and it is important you keep it as high as possible. The ORE variant penalises your structure less than the standard Tech II module does, and it also increases your cargo hold further than Tech II as well.

Jump Freighters, thanks to the skill of the same name, are also innately tankier than standard Freighters. Reinforced Bulkheads will increase your structure hitpoints by a considerable amount for when you are carrying expensive cargo. As with the Expanded Cargohold, consider running the ORE variant of the Reinforced Bulkhead as well, for similar reasons; it increases your structure even more, and reduces the cargo hold penalty.

Finally, do not forget to consider Jump Drive Economizers. A single Economizer can reduce the fuel costs of each jump your Ark takes by between 4% to 10%, depending on which meta level you have equipped. Calculate how much fuel you are using for each jump, and decide where or not it is worth it over the potential loss in cargo capacity from not equipping Expanded Cargoholds instead.
