I'm planning to create an alt, as I would like to have a dedicated hauler for my miner that I don't necessarily have to pay. Would it be faster to train my alt to fly barges or an Iteron 5?
My main is able to do either role. Even though my Mammoth holds less then the Iteron 5 would, it would still serve it's purpose well enough. ------------------------------------------------- If you haven't got a smile on your face and laughter in your heart; then you're just an old sour fart! |

Though if you are training to level 5, you might want to consider what that gets you in Transports (Deep Space and Blockade Runners), and even Freighters, before you make the decision to go Gallente.
Though smaller than an Iteron V, most DST are almost as big, much more durable, and come with +2 warp core stab built-in.
Blockade runners are extremely handy for moving stuff to/from market fast through lowsec short-cuts.
And lastly freighters to move all that ore you collected.

My suggestion is to train to fly a Bestower (Amarr Industrial 1), then get that alt into an Orca, train it with leadership and gang link skills. Eventually you'll want to try some combat and having an alt who can fly a command ship with gang links will be a great boon.

The above suggestion is a very good one - with less than a day's training a Bestower can haul quite nicely. And, if you want a serious alt for your mining avocation, the Orca is the only real option. ---------------- Now Hiring - get a PLEX/month!

I guess that I should add that I have Caldari Industrial 5, and own both a Crane and a Charon, BUT I also have Amarr Industrial 1 for a Bestower that I used in my early days.
The Amarr Bestower is the largest industrial from skill level 1 to 3.
The Minmatar Mammoth is the largest industrial at skill level 4.
The Gallente Iteron V is the largest industrial at skill level 5... but as in my first post if you are training to level 5, you might want to consider the other ships that opens to you before going Gallente.
I also have an Orca. For a miner, it isn't that hard to train for. For anyone else though it takes a while.
