There are situations where a small fast craft is better then a big lumbering beast. These include moving blueprints or other small volume, high value cargo. ~~One option is a warpstab or nano-fit frigate with a propulsion mod to try and burn away from tacklers. However, the~~ best ~~option~~ at this size ~~is a~~ [[Frigates#Covert Ops|Covert Ops ~~Frigate~~]], ~~which~~ can provide near-perfect safety if handled correctly.

There are situations where a small fast craft is better then a big lumbering beast. These include moving blueprints or other small volume, high value cargo. The best options at this size are nullified travel-fit Interceptors (so-called [[Travel_fits#Fleet_Interceptors|travel-ceptors]]), [[Frigates#Covert Ops|Covert Ops Frigates]], and (for highsec/lowsec) the Hecate with a [[Travel_fits#Hecate|sub-1s align time fit]]. These can provide near-perfect safety if handled correctly.

~~Using~~ a ~~[https://web.archive.org/web/20160222022243/https://www.themittani.com/news/alod-best-way-move-your-bpos~~ shuttle] or ~~untanked~~ frigate ~~to move through~~ lowsec ~~with high-value cargo is not recommended due~~ to ~~the danger of~~ smartbombing ~~battleships. An interceptor is the best option for moving through nullsec, assuming it is [https://web.archive~~.~~org/web/20160222022222/https://www.themittani.com/news/alod~~-~~13b~~-~~isk-interceptor~~-~~going-nowhere-fast properly fit]~~. ~~Even in highsec, frigates are very safe but~~ [~~https://i.gyazo.com/a8e94c20d47608dc93713c2bdf4cebb9.png not 100% safe~~] ~~if you carry valuable cargo (the Perimeter gate~~ in ~~Jita is the most scanned point in the game~~).

As an alternative, a shuttle (all areas of space) or a fast T1 frigate (in highsec and lowsec) will work as well, but they are more susceptible to smartbombing gatecamps. Tactical bookmarks on-grid with gates ("perches") and insta-dock/insta-undock bookmarks can mitigate this risk considerably. (See [[Bookmarks]] for an more in-depth explanation.)

~~A [https://i.imgur.com/BTVUYYc.png travel ceptor] is another option: fast, quick-aligning, and immune to bubbles in nullsec.

The {{sh|Sunesis}} is a special edition destroyer that is given out to all Omega pilots once a year. Various fitting options exist, with a sub-2s fit able to hold 1200 {{m3}} without any expensive faction modules. It is an easily accessible and cheap option for highsec and lowsec and can be used by Alpha players as well.

~~The~~ {{sh|~~Sunesis~~}} ~~is a special edition destroyer that was given out to all pilots a few years back. Various fitting options as a hauler exist~~, with ~~one fitting it~~ can align ~~in less than two seconds, hold 900m3 +,~~ and warp ~~at 7AU/s~~.

A {{sh|Victorieux Luxury Yacht}} can warp cloaked, ignores nullsec bubbles if fitted with an interdiction nullifier, can be fit with enough tank to survive smartbombs, and has very decent align time and warp speed. That is another good option for moving high-value, low-volume cargo.
