Eve University students can make a good income as haulers, even during wartime, by setting up a hauler alt character outside of the corporation.

With this base level of skills, the Bestower will carry 4,800 m3 of cargo, without any modifications.

In short, with an Amarr hauler alt, you can get started quickly, and eventually end up with a very well equipped industrial ship. | With this base level of skills, the Bestower will carry 4,800 m3 of cargo, without any modifications.
