Are they really that useful? I mean - how much can you want to haul?

They are worthless, no one uses them in Eve.
Seriously, have you ever seen the mineral requirements for things like capital ships or for large scale industrial operations, you'd end up quitting if you had to do dozens and dozens of trips in your transport ship each time you wanted to resupply your mineral stocks etc.

Many times I wish that there would be a ship with even bigger cargo than a freighter. Like 2-3 times bigger.
I have to make several trips when I haul my minerals to the factory and ready ships from the factory to my sales hub. And need I mention that freighters are painfully slow to align/warp.

I make about 200m or so an evening AFK hauling in my Charon. My alt will be training for one soon so I can double that. Every m3 counts to me.

I remember along time ago, there was a thread like this...
someone stated the one truth about freighters:
"You'll know what you need them for, once you need them. If you don't know, you don't need them."

Hmmm... I fly a freighter... I can say they are worth it once things get going... hauling etc... but in the meantime, I can say they are very good as paper-weights... nothing in my hangar has every blown-away when I put my freighter on it.
Pick out a pretty one (Amarr or Caldari) as you will stare at it for a huge amount of time - undock , to align , more align , even more align , to final warp start , warping , more warping , finally gate... and BUMP! and and then possible will make you - then repeat each jump.
What can I say, it's a life-style.

It isn't worth your time. What I haul isn't terribly valuable on its own, typically under 100 million, but I can do about 8-10 trips in an evening while watching TV.

Afk freighter alt makes lots of iskies and contributes to the market by moving a crapton of stuff around so other people can use it. Transfer iskies to pew pew alt when the tv shows are over and go have some fun that also contributes to the market by blowing shiat up and making people go buy replacements from the stuff he just hauled. So don't hate him just because he figured out a way to get the best of both worlds.

and to add to this brilliant philosophy.. trade is a very playable form in eve, and thats where frieghters come in nicely.
not exactly practical for low sec though or null-sec. keep it in 0.6 and above and trade till your little heart is content and you will be happy, very bored but also happy.
does the web trick still work on frieghters guys ???? ive not been online for a while.
