Well, i bought one of theses and bothered to fit it up and to my dismay, i realized it's barely an improvement over the III. It got less hitpoints, one less high slot for a mid and it carry just a little more than a III. While i think it look nice it's a waste of isk to buy one...

Gallente has 5 industrial ships while other races have only 2. You don't have to use Iteron IV at all. so you wanna complain?

It's not so much about complaining as having ships in EVE that are mostly useless. Why put something in if it's to be something no one want to use?

Bolded the important bit. One doesn't usually buy an industrial for hitpoints or highslots. Also, if you spent less tile whining and more time thinking you'd discover that you can convert the extra mid slot in hitpoints...

Not everyone wants to spend the 29 days training from a IV to a V. Not everyone needs to haul 37,000 m^3 worth of stuff. Not everyone is in a mining corp that needs the best hauler available. Maybe the owner of the IV doesn't mind make an extra trip back to the station every four loads instead of every five. Maybe the IV is just that much cooler looking than the V.
Every ship has something that makes it desirable to someone. Not all players are of the min/max variety, trying to squeeze the last m^3 of hauling space, or HP or whathaveyou.

Iteron IV is faster and holds more.... generaly teh 2 most impoartant stats on an industrial... With my alt its 8m/s faster thats something.
so as you are training for an ity 5 (only reason to go gallenty anyways, should have went another race if you wanted to stop at 3 or 4). you get a ship that can hold more and go a little faster... then once you have your ity 5 you just sell the ity 4.
at any rate its better in 2 of the most important stats for an industrial... yay.

There does seem to be some redundancy in the Gallente indy line up, the differences between them are quite small until you get to the mark 5. The marks 2 & 4 could be dropped and I'd doubt anyone would particularly care. Not that being Amarr I'm jealous of their line up....much.

If it's taking you 29 days to get from Gal Industrial IV to V then there's something odd going on. But that's a story for another time. Why not just take another racial Industrial skill to IV? It would take less than five days from absolute scratch (calculated with my 1.2m SP forum alt with barely any learning skills worth speaking of).
If you want to use the best sub-Ity V industrial, I believe the answer is the Mammoth. It definitely isn't the Itty IV.
Eventually you'll want to get at least one of those to five though. Transports are quite excellent.
Edit: Having said that, I do like the Itty IV. It's just a sharper looking boat than the V.

I'd say it depends on what you're hauling. If you have Gal Indy IV, the wee bit more cargo space in the Indy IV can make the difference between hauling 3 frigates on a T1 fit and hauling 4 of them.
Not that hauling frigates is terribly profitable, but if you need or want to do so, the difference in space can be significant.

Pretty much useless on that ship with the low powergrid (worst than a III btw). Iteron IV is worst in every way to a III exept base cargo space(poor improvement), speed(lol) and an extra mid slot (debatable how useful it is). That ship has no selling point besides it's good look.

the thing is, at industrial skill 4, the mammoth is better.
