→Hauler Type Comparison: Updated to include Orcas and remove capital letters from the start of ship class names. Just like "race car" isn't capitalised, "jump freighter" isn't either. |
m →Fit your hauler well & use the right ship: MWDs on Orcas speed them up significantly. |

For T1 industrial ships, you will want to fit as many medium/large shield extenders into the mid slots as possible. This should balanced with shoring up your weak EMP/Thermal resist holes using Adaptive Invulnerability Field modules or Shield Resist Amplifier modules. In cases where you need more EHP and can sacrifice cargo space, consider adding [[DC2]] (Damage Control 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 industrial can have 10k to 20k EHP without sacrificing too much cargo space. | For T1 industrial ships, you will want to fit as many medium/large shield extenders into the mid slots as possible.

For | For Orcas, the standard fit is (2) Adaptive Invulnerability Field II and (2) Large Shield Extender II, with a DC2 in the low-slot. This takes your ship from around 60-70k EHP up to about 140k EHP. The addition of a Reinforced Bulkhead II will boost that up to 220-240k EHP. A fit using shield extender rigs instead of cargo rigs tops out at around 285k EHP. With the addition of the non-scannable and non-lootable corporate hangar, these are a good choice for small volume high value hauling where you need to hide what you are hauling. | ||
Alternatively, you can fit a 100mn MWD that can be used so significantly reduce align times by activating it for 1 cycle while aligning. It does however require a powergrid fitting mod, and you likely won't be able to fit large shield extenders. The vast majority of the Orcas tank come from the hull though, so that's not a problem as long as you have a DCII. | |||
Blockade runners rely on good bookmarks, crafty use of their Covert Ops Cloak, [[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. | Blockade runners rely on good bookmarks, crafty use of their Covert Ops Cloak, [[MWD]], and not fitting anything that would increase signature radius (no shield extenders).
