Okay raphael is my main cargohauler (and currently only subbed character) and i'll give you the toptip
A) a bowhead is actually more tanky as a shieldship then as a hullship if you apply appropriate boosts and OH the midslots.
B) you can move a bowhead solo fi you arent a braindead idiot. i have done so through uesama and niarja with some regularity during US timezones and EU timezones both
C) i tend to just load a leopard or travel fit interceptor into the hold and double back for my fenrir or a mastodon if i need too
D) Bowheads are alot sturdier then freighters since when they were being proposed the incursion community (for whom they were designed Thanks Mike) was all "but you expect us to move our Overpriced battleships in a platform that has less ehp then a single one of the battleships, this seems silly".
E) "less tedious" and "easier" also mean "much more abusable" and removing diversity means that the reason-d-aitre of the bowhead and capital ships becomes less useful. There is a tool for what you want, why not just use it? It's not that hard to do...
I have mine fit for a half and half approach, rigged for warpspeed and slotted for shield buffer tank. |

metagame?
Buying the right tool for the job is metagaming now? You can saw a board of wood with a drill (just drill a stack of overlapping holes done) that however doesnt mean a saw isnt the RIGHT tool for that job...
I was merely pointing out you can fit a bowhead in such a way it is hard to gank (or in such a way it wont get ganked) in my experience... And then solo haul your ships in not complete safety but safe enough for my 10b in incursion ships |

if you use a bowhead you dont need to do the courier package thing, since they have a humongous SMA...
and it isnt metagaming its using the mechanics provided... I am fairly sure eve has no "the spirit of the rules" there is "it works" and "it does not" |
