Ghoest	Posted - 2009.04.11 12:05:00 - [1] Any thoughts on which race to chose? Wherever you went - Here you are.
Honest Merchant	Posted - 2009.04.11 12:14:00 - [2] I'd imagine it is the Amarr one as it has the most low-slots but without EFT at hand I cant double check.
New Soi	Posted - 2009.04.11 12:15:00 - [3] Hm... depends what you want to go for. If your only point of interest is the amount of cargohold, then it's as follows: Best Transport: Amarr Impel Best Industrial: Gallente Iteron V Best Freighter: Caldari Charon Best level IV Industrial: Minmatar Mammoth Note that I added all classes designed to transport something, because I didn't know whether you really wanted to know about the 'Transport Ships' (T2 Industrials) or just transport ships in general (Industrials, Transports, Freighters). Hope that helped :) ______________________________
Allahs Warrior Gallente I.M.M	Posted - 2009.04.11 12:22:00 - [4] Best industrial lvl 1 industrial: Amarr bestower
Wet Ferret	Posted - 2009.04.11 12:48:00 - [5] Minmatar if you're ever going to be getting shot at for any reason. Built-in omni-shieldtanks ftw (or I guess you could tank an amarr transport to the teeth, but all those lowslots! ). Then there's the fact the prowler is the only BR that can fit a cloak and probe launcher, making it ideal for W-space. But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.
Ghoest	Posted - 2009.04.11 14:35:00 - [6] I meant Transport Ships not indies. Wherever you went - Here you are.
Xapharia WOLIMAZO INC	Posted - 2009.04.11 14:55:00 - [7] New Soi more or less summed it up already You still haven't told us what you want in the ship though. Max cargo? Best Survivability? I have a bit outdated version of EFT currently (+2 warp strengh is on the wrong ship) but if I remember correctly in terms of raw cargo Amarr wins out with Gallente tailing them with a few k m3 less (on the +2 warp strengh ones). Never checked up on the ones with cloak bonus as I'm not in need of it where I fly. _________________________ Originally by: CCP Whisper Boo hoo. Cry some more.

Hope that helped :) Pow! I'd like to add that the best T1 blockade buster is the sigil: can hold a giant container w/o mods, cloak, and lows full of speed mods. Most improtantly, has the lowest mass. ----------------- Friends Forever

Darthewok VIRTUAL LIFE VANGUARD Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2009.04.12 09:36:00 - [10] For Blockade Runners, Amarr Prorator for the most cargo capacity Minmatar Prowler for 2 high slots if you want to fit both a tractor beam and a covert ops cloak (I hear its good for wormholes) Gallente Viator for being decent, and most convenient to train for after Gallente Indy V for Iteron V, which many train Caldari Crane and Deep Space Transports I am not too sure about.

Ky Vatta Caldari Majority 12	Posted - 2009.04.13 12:22:00 - [11] For some odd reason one of the Caldari Transports has a Missile Launcher slot..... --- Self-confessed Carebear, and proud of it

Hope that helped :) For freighter the Minnie one is arguably the best as it still holds a ****-ton of stuff but goes much, much, faster so you get places quicker so more ISK/hour and more efficiency. As for actual Transport ships, it's the Prowler, got a missile and turret slot, only industrial with more than 1 weapon system. So insta-win for that hands-down.
Jagga Spikes Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2009.04.14 09:33:00 - [13] prowler with two high slots for covop cloak and scan probe launcher sounds perfect for blockade running. no more fear from the far gates :)
Malcanis Vanishing Point. The Initiative.	Posted - 2009.04.14 12:13:00 - [14] Originally by: Jagga Spikes prowler with two high slots for covop cloak and scan probe launcher sounds perfect for blockade running. no more fear from the far gates :) Yep. It can also do neat things like mount a covops cloak and covops cyno. It's pretty much the fastest ship with a covops cloak, and it's extremely agile too, so it's excellent for infiltrating enemy systems and firing up covops cynos for our the new blackops to send torpbomber gankgangs through.
Kazuo Ishiguro House of Marbles Zzz	Posted - 2009.04.14 14:16:00 - [15] Originally by: Darthewok Minmatar Prowler for 2 high slots if you want to fit both a tractor beam and a covert ops cloak (I hear its good for wormholes) Also, probe launchers. They can't fit an expanded launcher + covert ops cloak, but a core launcher can certainly be useful as a backup. --- 20:1 mineral compression ISRC Racing, Season 7 - schedule

Zeerover DeadSpace Exploration and Investigations	Posted - 2009.04.14 16:00:00 - [18] Originally by: Ghoest Any thoughts on which race to chose? Minmatar, for all the reasons stated earlier in this thread. Sometimes Space Junk rules supreme:)
Paisley Snatch	Posted - 2009.04.14 22:28:00 - [19] Edited by: Paisley Snatch on 14/04/2009 22:29:11 Originally by: SuperNova221 For freighter the Minnie one is arguably the best as it still holds a ****-ton of stuff but goes much, much, faster so you get places quicker so more ISK/hour and more efficiency. False. If you're worried about ISK/hour you warp to zero. The charon holds a considerable amount more, which yields more profit. If you autopilot and come back right when you reach the destination the fenrir won't beat the charon by much. Its about 25 m/s quicker but since the charon is the slowest it enters warp quicker. I have both from BWTZ (before warp to zero).
Liang Nuren No Salvation PuPPet MasTers	Posted - 2009.04.14 22:33:00 - [20] Edited by: Liang Nuren on 14/04/2009 22:33:41 The Prorator is pretty awesome - you can (for example) haul a large POS in an unrigged (or agility rigged) prorator. The only other worth speaking of is the 2 high slot Prowler. -Liang Ed: IIRC, the Prorator is also both the fastest and most agile transport due to all the low slots. -- Liang Nuren - Eve Forum ***** Extraordinaire www.kwikdeath.org
