Salpad Caldari Carebears with Attitude	Posted - 2009.01.19 04:52:00 - [1] What is the best ship for extended AFK-jumping shopping trips? I've got a Tristan, but it has quite limited cargo capacity. Recently I've looked at Interceptors (I can fly Caldari) and they look nicer with 13.5 or 9.0 AU/sec warp speed and 150 m3 cargo space, and fast STL travel speed (in excess of 400 m/s), and 3 LOW slots which lets me double cargo capacity although at the expense of STL speed. Still, 300 m3 cargo space isn't all that much. Would a T1 frigate like the Kestrel be better? It only does 6.0 AU/sec, but it has an STL speed at almost 300 m/s with my skillz, and with 2 LOW slots I can pimp the cargo capcity to almost 500 m3. Am I overlooking something? -- Salpad
Solid Prefekt Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2009.01.19 04:57:00 - [2] A Sigil with 3xOD IIS and 2xInertia Stabs? Very quick to train and holds a lot more then what you are looking at below. Not great for low sec though.
P'uck	Posted - 2009.01.19 04:58:00 - [3] I dont want to go into any details, because quite frankly you cannot be serious. But I'll still try to be constructive: Drag MWD to quickslot 1. Put weight on F1 key.
Gneeznow Minmatar Cruoris Seraphim	Posted - 2009.01.19 05:27:00 - [4] a probe! its got like 400 m3 cargo hold!
DamienV Omega Fleet Enterprises Executive Outcomes	Posted - 2009.01.19 05:32:00 - [5] INTY!!!!!!!!!!!! if you want cargo space...then one of the indy related frigs works.
Erakyn Big Orange Cog	Posted - 2009.01.19 05:45:00 - [6] The cov-ops Transports are nice. With a couple of inertia stabs they align nice and fast, and a 9.0 AU warp speed and carry 3750m3 or more (Viator anyways - not sure on the others).
Salpad Caldari Carebears with Attitude	Posted - 2009.01.19 05:47:00 - [7] Originally by: Erakyn The cov-ops Transports are nice. With a couple of inertia stabs they align nice and fast, and a 9.0 AU warp speed and carry 3750m3 or more (Viator anyways - not sure on the others). But Caldari Blockade Runner only has a raw STL velocity of 165 m/s, and since my intended use is AFK flight, that's not particularly good... And with only 2 LOW slots, there's not much I can do to make it fly faster.
Salpad Caldari Carebears with Attitude	Posted - 2009.01.19 05:49:00 - [8] Originally by: DamienV INTY!!!!!!!!!!!! if you want cargo space...then one of the indy related frigs works. Caldari has 2 Interceptors. Same cargo capacity, and same number of LOW ****s, but one has ever so slightly faster STL than the other, although only 9.0 AU/sec compared to 13.5 AU/sec. Am I correct in assuming that the faster FTL speed will rarely make any difference whatsoever?
Terianna Eri Amarr Scrutari	Posted - 2009.01.19 06:24:00 - [9] STL is an acronym for what? I know it means the velocity out of warp, but I can't figure out where you're getting that o_O To answer your question, it basically depends on how much you're bringing with you / bringing back. Figure that out, find the fastest ship you can fly that can carry that much, and use that. if you need a lot of space for a frig, try a probe. 400 m3 and decently fast. __________________________________ Originally by: Arthur Frayn How much to ruin all your holes, luv?

Hazarding a guess at Slower Than Light, as opposed to FTL (Faster Than Light)? And by the way, don't signatures like this which make a point of the fact there's no clear divide between sig and post annoy the hell out of you?

Qui Shon	Posted - 2009.01.19 06:37:00 - [11] Originally by: Salpad What is the best ship for extended AFK-jumping shopping trips? Without stickying F-key for mwd? Iirc, in order of increasing cargobay size and decreasing speed: Claw, Probe, Prowler. Sigil is also pretty nice for a cheap T1 alternative. Almost 335m/s with 1500m3 at full skills. With minimal skills that would be ~270m/s at 1290m3. 600+m/s with AB. More space for reduced speed.
Xiaodown coracao ardente Triumvirate.	Posted - 2009.01.19 08:02:00 - [12] WTF are you moving around that's valuable enough to consider yourself a "serious shopper", and fits in 300m3? And how are you making enough money off of it to be considered viable if you're AFKing with it in a non-transport? And where do you shop, and what time of day are you usually afk?

This is what I was thinking as well.

kyrv	Posted - 2009.01.19 12:53:00 - [15] Viator with Warpcore optimizer rigs!! Its a genuine pimp wagon
achoura	Posted - 2009.01.19 12:59:00 - [16] Prorator with velocity rigs and overdrives/nanoes, mwd, paperweight on f1.
Ratamnim Natas Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2009.01.19 13:02:00 - [17] VIATOR
Cedric Diggory Perfunctory Oleaginous Laocoon Mugwumps	Posted - 2009.01.19 13:27:00 - [18] Definitely the Probe: Can be kitted out to travel up to 550m/s or to carry nearly 1000m3 of cargo. By a country mile the best of the hauler-frigates.
Sidus Isaacs Gallente	Posted - 2009.01.19 13:31:00 - [19] The T2 indys should get ehat you want.

Haniblecter Teg F.R.E.E. Explorer Wildly Inappropriate.	Posted - 2009.01.19 16:20:00 - [21] Cov Ops scouts are the fastest warpers and have a fairly respectable cargohold. Put two warp speed rigs on a cheetah and you'll have a 30million shuttle that warps at 19.4 au/s and aligns in 3s with 200m3 of cargospace. Cant beat that. Esp. if you put a weight on the MWD button and cram some Micro Cap Battery for enough juice for full warps.
