=== Hauler Type Comparison ===

The best hauler is situational; it depends on where you are (high, low, null security space) combined with how large and valuable the cargo is. For example, using an Occator to move a cargo small enough to fit in a Viator is sub-optimal, as is using a Viator to move large amounts of tritanium around in high sec.

The best hauler is situational; it depends on where you are (high, low, null security space) combined with how large and valuable the cargo is. For example, using an Occator to move a cargo small enough to fit in a Viator is sub-optimal, as is using a Viator to move large amounts of tritanium around in high sec when you could use a Kryos instead.

Below are the optimal ships for each task, assuming that the area that you're going to/through is not a place where it's a clearly bad idea to bring such a ship type. As soon as moving through either null or low sec is required, you are strongly encouraged to switch to a Viator (blockade runner) or jump freighter.

The Orca is also a very interesting option for high security space. It offers cargo capacity somewhere between the T1/T2 industrials and jump freighters, while being able to travel almost as quickly as the smaller ships by fitting a 100mn micro warp drive and activating it for 1 cycle while aligning to the next gate or station.

* ~~Small~~ cargo ~~of any value~~: Blockade ~~runner~~

* Hauling cargo with near-negligible volume: Shuttle or fast frigate (high), Interceptor (low/null)

* Hauling up to 10,000 m^3 (packaged cruiser) anywhere: Blockade Runner

* Hauling up to 15,000 m^3 (packaged battlecruiser) in highsec or lowsec: Fast T1 transport

* Hauling up to 30,000 m^3 (two packaged battlecruisers) in highsec: Bulk T1 transport

* Hauling up to 50,000 m^3 (packaged battleship) in highsec or lowsec: Deep space transport

* Large cargo of low value: T1 industrial, deep space transport or Orca

* Large cargo of medium value: Deep space transport or Orca

* Large cargo of high value: Blockade runner (even if you may get the job done faster with a DST, getting it there at all is better then not getting it there due to being ganked) or Orca.

* Huge cargo below ~~~350k~~ m^3: Jump freighter (it aligns faster than a Freighter)

* Huge cargo above ~50k m^3 below ~250k m^3 anywhere: Jump freighter (it aligns faster than a Freighter and has more tank)

* Huge cargo above ~~~350k~~ m^3: ~~Jump freighter or freighter depending on the environment~~

* Huge cargo above ~250k m^3: Freighter (requires escort in low and null)
