For hauling in null-sec, a MWD is key for getting out of bubbles. Best on a blockade runner that can cloak.

== Avoiding Ganking ==

The best way to avoid suicide ganks in a hauler is to fly a cloaky transport, and not be afk. I'll move anything through empire that way.

Second best is to just not be afk. In that case, I'd say mobility (instabs/stabs) work as well as buffer to discourage ganking.

But if you are afk, then buffer is all you have. Favor Explosive/Kinetic/Thermal hardening as suiciding in Harbingers is too expensive (because of faction crystals and the cost of the harb hull). Most people will be ganking in Canes and Drakes.

If you're really trying to go anti-gank in hi-sec, then you need to move up to a Transport (65k EHP, 8k cargo on an Occator) or Orca (250k EHP, 90-95k cargo) or Freighter (200k EHP 900-950k cargo).

== Builds ==

=== Iteron V, Tank ===

[Iteron Mark V, Tank] (Cassius Longinus)

3x Reactor Control Unit I

2x Expanded Cargohold II

Large Shield Extender II

Magnetic Scattering Amplifier II

Explosion Dampening Amplifier II

2x Heat Dissipation Amplifier II

2x [empty high slot]

3x Medium Core Defence Field Extender I

That has 15+K EHP, which should tank most solo-BC gankers.

=== Iteron V, Shield Tank ===

(Scrapyard Bob)

You can change a regular Itty5 fit over to an anti-gank setup merely be swapping out 1 of the low-slots for a Damage Control II (which gives you 14k EHP instead of only 11k EHP for a standard tanked Itty5). And you'll still have 30k m3 of cargo space. Or go with 1 DC2 / 3 PDS2 / 1 400mm plate and you'll have a 20k EHP tank without sacrificing your Cargo Optimization rigs and leaving you with 11.4k m3 of cargo. The standard mid-slot Itty5 shield tank is (3) Medium Shield Extenders (1) EM resist amp and (1) Thermal resist amp (11k EHP base).
