Hi, I'm doing the career mission "Making mountains of Molehills". I received the expanded cargo space but couldn't put it online as I needed a skill up grade. Got it and fitted the expanded cargo space to my Venture. Bit it said I then only had like 58 units..did I want to accept the mission anyway. I didn't accept it.
I added another upgrade, expanded cargo 2 and skilled it up. Now it tells me I only have 63.75 cargo units...even after two upgrades. I know the mission is supposed to work with the things provided and frankly i'm confused...lol.
What shoudl I do now to fix it so I can complete the mission? Buy a bigger ship and if so...which one please?
Thanks for your time and help.

I take it you are new, if so, welcome to EVE! :D
On to your question, Ventures have tiny Cargo Bays, like 50m3 I think, but have massive Ore Bays, sitting at something like 5000m3, they are not good for moving items around, only Ore, so what I would recommend is get into a Frigate (The T1 Exploration Frigates are good for this), and use them for courier missions like that, they have a shy of 300m3 in most cases, and can get about 500-600m3 with a Expanded Cargohold or 2. Hope this helped! :) |

Cargo expanders only expand private generalist bays not specialized ship, PI, fuel, ore et c. bays. |

As others noted, you don't have to use the Venture. If you haven't done any of the other career missions yet, try the Exploration sequence as you get a Probe which has quite a large cargo bay. You can swap between each of the career lines if you come up against a block, or are waiting for a required skill to train.
Alternatively, take two or more trips. That's what I did when faced with the message you are getting. Just deposit each part of the cargo in the station hangar until it's all delivered, stack it and complete the mission. There will be several missions in the Industry line that exceed your cargo capacity. |

I know the situation. Accept anyway. As noted above, the popup doesn't consider the Venture's ore bay, which is plenty for these missions. And in the case of minerals, you don't have to transport them anywhere. |

courier missions will give you the same pop if you do not have the cargo capacity to carry the load in one go. However you still can accept and complete the mission it just might take you multiple trip to get it done. |

Hope this helped! :) As was previously mentioned, the exploration frigates are great for large cargo that isn't so large that it requires an Industrial, and being small frigates they travel fast.
The reason these ships have a large base cargo is because they can carry moon probes, which are rather bulky.
Amarr: Magnate Caldari: Heron Gallente: Imicus Minimatar: Probe
Of all these ships, the Magnate can be made the largest, because it has the most low-slots for cargohold expansion.
Example:
[Magnate, Max Cargo 1608 m3] Expanded Cargohold II Expanded Cargohold II Expanded Cargohold II Expanded Cargohold II
[empty med slot] [empty med slot] [empty med slot]
[empty high slot] [empty high slot] [empty high slot]
