Creating an Alt Hauler: Difference between revisions

Hauling can be a great way to earn ISK doing [[Using EVE-Central to haul profitably|profitable trade runs]]. By reading this guide, you will learn how to create the quickest, most efficient hauler. This guide can be considered a current, text version of the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Eve_University_Class_Library#Hauling Alt Hauling 101] audio class.  

If you truly want to maximise your cargo capacity while minimising training, then the Amarr Bestower is the Industrial ship to go for, for industrial skill levels 1-3, as at those levels of training it has the highest possible m³ for all the industrials.  If you are hauling cargo such as ore, or lots of small items, it may even be worth training the Amarr Industrial skill to level II, as this will increase the ship's capacity to just over 21k m³. That will allowing 7 Giant Secure Containers to fit in the hold, for a total hauling capacity of 27,300m³.  This will add just ~2h 35m to training (~2h 4m with remap).

If you don't mind spending the time to train an industrial skill to level IV, then the Mammoth will give you the highest capacity at that training level, and if you don't mind the long train to get a racial industrial skill to V, then the Iteron V will have the highest capacity with that training level.  The Iteron V is also a good choice if you want to move up to freighters, as the train for them is short when you already have Gallente Industrial level V (compared to what you may have trained to make use of the other race's industrials), and you will also be able to use the tech 1 industrial with the highest possible capacity in the game, when not using your freighter.

You can decrease the training time required by remapping your attributes. You get 3 remaps total in your first year, so you can afford to remap Int/Mem and train any core skills you need followed by a remap to Per/Will to train the spaceship command skills to fly your ship.

Without a remap, you should be able to pilot a Bestower around 9 hours 26 minutes. With remaps, it is around 7 hours 33 minutes.

When this is done, you will be able to pilot a Bestower that can fit Expanded Cargohold IIs and Cargohold Optimisation rigs for 20000m3 of cargo space.

Although Bestower is a great hauler with a short training plan, its cargo capacity falls far short of fitting a full jetcan of ore. Meaning that it requires additional trips, therefore wasting time when you could do other things. This is where the [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mammoth Mammoth] comes in, with just rigs and Expanded Cargohold IIs, it has around 27,000m³ cargo capacity. Although it is a few hundred m³ fall short of a full jetcan, you can easily exceed that with GSCs.

The [http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Badger_Mark_II Badger Mark II] is somewhat overlooked out of all of the racial haulers. Reason being, it requires more training and has a smaller cargo capacity than a Bestower, making somewhat unworthwhile. But if you choose train for a Badger Mark II, it requires slightly less than a day of training and its performance is only slightly less than a Bestower.  

Without a remap, you should be able to pilot a Badger Mark II around 1 day 1 hour 52 minutes. If you use a remap with no implants, around 19 hours 34 minutes.
