When they fix the nanofibers mkv's are gonna rock..
5 partal hull nanofibers boost your base speed up to 180mps, toss in 2 10mn ab's and 3 med slot recharger boosters and you're zipping along quite nicely, with about 10k cargo, indefenetly

Don't think the changes were good to be honest.
The high capacity is pleasant under some circumstances, but sadly you can still only carry something like 1 frigate even in that massive load out.
Hardly much to talk about moving big loads, doubt you will fit a cruiser in an indy like that 
Am greatful that some more minerals can be moved in one ship, though the man hours for moving that load has increased as well, so I am not sure its that worth it

As there are few defenders of the MkV I will have to come and at least give my opinion on it.
I have it loaded for running as a belt hauler and it has a cargo capacity of over 16k and can easily make 250m/s.
Now I know this is not a great speed but when you look at the cargo capacity before castor compared to now it compensates for the decrease in speed. I can keep up with at least 3 BS mining and not worry about running out of cap if I have to travel 35k to a can.
Now I know some people will have different set ups to achieve different tasks and roles but for the purpose I use it for there is no better ship.
On a side note, the 30days training was a ball ache but its not like I have to watch every second count down.

It's all about the fortune and glory, fortune and glory!

Hi,
I think the time for a mark V is not a problem, if u want a good hauler with good speed the mark 5 is very nice.
mine is fitted with
hi:
none
med:
10Mn MWD
1 capacitor rechrager
low:
1 alpha hull
4 reactor control unit
with this configuration i have ~9.1k of cargo, and the speed of the ship is ~950 m/s
