Name: Crane Hull: Badger Class Role: Transport Developer: Kaalakiota
Blockade runner transports are the fastest type of industrial available. Utilizing sturdy but lightweight construction materials and sacrificing some cargo space, these haulers are able to reach speeds greater than those of a cruiser while withstanding heavy fire - factors which make them ideal for zipping through dangerous territories with valuable cargo.
SHIP BONUSES
Caldari Industrial bonuses (per skill level): 5% bonus to ship cargo capacity 5% bonus to ship max velocity Transport Ships bonuses (per skill level): 5% bonus to warp speed and warp acceleration 20% reduction in Cloaking Devices CPU requirement Role Bonus: • Can fit Covert Ops Cloaking Device and Covert Cynosural Field Generator • Cloak reactivation delay reduced to 5 seconds • Immune to all Cargo Scanners 90% reduction to effective distance traveled for jump fatigue
Base Time to Warp is essentially the time needed for this ship to align and accelerate until it reaches 75% of its top speed and goes to warp. The time displayed here is the base calculated time with no account for any warp related skills, modules or any other effects.

Summary
Very useful for hauling trips into dangerous space, blockade runners are effectively industrial covops ships; difficult to catch except by warp bubbles. For this added speed and security they sacrifice durability and cargo space.
