Am I correct that the only race that has lower level industrial haulers that specialize in ore and minerals is Gallente? I had assumed that every race had a version of these types of ships and looking a ISIS (heh funny ISIS) ... there doesn't seem to be any other race with these types of ships. Do any other race have ships that specialize in hauling large volumes of a particular kind of cargo? like is there a dedicated ship hauler?
Thanks in advance |

Ore have the bowhead which is a ship shipping ship, it's technically a capital but allowed in highsec.
Be aware though it paints a MASSIVE target right in the middle of your face. .aside from that no, there's no other specialised hulls for hauling

Initially, each race had 1, maybe 2 industrial transports, and the Gallente had Iteron Mark 1 - 5. For the non-Gallente ships, the ship's cargo capacity grew in size as the pilot trained skills; Gallente pilots on the other hand were forced to sell their Iteron 1 and buy an Iteron 2, then 3, then 4, then 5, to "upgrade". All of them had the normal cargo holds; no specialized cargo holds were in game at the time.
Then CCP added Tech 2 transports, making Industrial level 5 a prerequisite for the ships, and some people trained Amarr or Minmatar industrial to 5, but because Iteron Mark 5 was the ship that was best in class (by a small margin), a lot of the player base had Gallente Industrial already trained to 5, in order to use the Iteron 5.
So when CCP did the balance pass on all Tech 1 ships, instead of removing Iterons 1-4 from the game and changing Iteron 5, they decided to make Iterons 1-4 "special" by giving them specialized holds and renaming them, and left Iteron 5 as it was, which really is a nerf compared to the other races' ships (the Iteron 5 has cargo capacity, but is very slow to align and very much paper-thin).
So that's the history of the changes, as I remember it, and why things are the way they are. |

I was thinking about mentioning the primae, since technically it is a dedicated PI hauler, but the gallente PI hauler made it completely obsolete in every way.
The Primae was a free promo ship given to every player, and is pretty much unusable for any practical application.

back in the day many players either had Gallente industrial 5 trained or had an alt that had it trained. It was the only T1 hauler that required level 5 to fly and had the biggest cargohold. I'm sure it was by a long long margin the most trained industrial skill maybe even more than the other 3 races combined. I'm not sure on that however. Anyway so when they did the industrial rebalancing they had to give all those pilots (in many cases people rolled alts for the sole purpose of having an itty 5 hauler) something for their effort. |
