Industrials and Freighters – moving cargo through the heavens

Embarking on a mining career means that I now have a lot of ore to move. With sub-par refining skills, I’ve managed to quickly focus on an interesting ore not found in Gallente space called Kernite. Apparently a lot of capsuleers need them to complete missions with their agents.

After doing some research, I’ve decided that the Amarr Bestower is probably my best bet without a long training time.

In comparison, the Gallente Iteron Mark V requires a long training time but the benefits are that it can hold an entire jet can! The little Iteron Mark I is shown flying beside it.

One of the behemoths of the sky when it comes to hauling is the freighter class of ships. Slow moving, they haul up to 950k m^3 of items compared to the 30k m^3 of most industrials and transport ships. The sleek smooth lines of the Amarr Providence gives me pause as I pass by it ambling towards a stargate.
