The Sigil is one of the best lowsec transports in the game. Rigged for power it can fit a 10mn MWD and pull off the MWD/Cloak trick with great effectiveness. 2 highs and plenty of CPU for a cloak and a combat scanner for checking the gates, 3 mids for MWD, ECM burst, and third ewar of your choice, and 5 lows for all the versatility you could want from a transport.

The Impel: will get killed at any kind of gate camp, and starts with 4km3 cargo.
"Deep space transports are designed with the depths of lawless space in mind. Possessing defensive capabilities far in excess of standard industrial ships, they provide great protection for whatever cargo is being transported in their massive holds."
Doesn't even come close to its description.

Deep Space Transports were originally designed with 0.0 belt ore pick up in mind. They are tough enough to take a bit of NPC pounding if necessary to pick up their load and exit.
Obviously this role never really materialized... although they do have some uses with some warp core stabs and a stiff tank for hauling in High Sec. Generally speaking though you are better off with a Blockade Runner in any given situation besides the first one I listed.
Its funny you say this; we were doing a mine op just the other night, the Orca guy had to take off, so we finished with a DST hauling.

I was running the numbers on it just the other night, its a lot heavier than my BS and I like to have 100MN MWD on that to pull off the cloak trick. Have you actually tested it using the trick to see if it can be locked? My feeling is that there will be a 4 or 5 second window w the 10mn pushing, and the 100 wont fit. I would very much love to be wrong here, I find the cloaky to be overkill and really not a lot of fun. The cloak trick is just the right amount of challenge, and if it works fairly well on the DST I mat have to try it out.
There's something about the ship that I really like.

Can you actually delete the rest of that post =-)

The Primae was a limited edition, special release ship. It was designed to be a luxury item and I think it fills that role well.
Its funny though, a lot of people seem to want that type of ship. Something that was fast/tough/stealthy enough to get into low and null sec for PI would be cool. Maybe a version that got a break on orbital transfer costs.

I mean, missiler launchers, but drone bonuses??
The Proph is a frikken monster! It has 7 lows for tank or gank. You never know what a ship like that will bring to the game and that is worth a lot on its own. Huge drone bay for several different setups ready to go. All with an excellent resist bonus, and a great price.
I get the distinct feeling that I have just been thoroughly trolled.
