Best ship for hauling ?

[Amon Morell]

Ok guys, i know that there is no best ship, but since our base will be in low secure space what ship do you think will be best for pure hauling.
I have CCU my Lancer Max to Taurus and im thinking about to CCU it again to the Hull C in the upcoming sale.
Do you think that this is a good idea ? Any suggestions ?

Pure hauling is the Hull series

 

[EpilepticCricket]

What is the application? Are you looking for moving volume? Hull series. Are you wanting to do it solo? Probably a Freelancer. Looking to move small valuable things quickly? You might need nothing more than an Aurora or 300 Series.

Taurus might not be a bad choice either as its highly modable? is that a word?

CARRACK has multiple containers it carries that can hold 1400SCU ea.
not to mention most advanced sensor quite, scout ship, landing pad, armoured explorer, great on fuel with extra fuel cache, land rover, bling factor, and the fact its semi heavily armed with 2 x S4 and 2x S5 guns.

This ship screams buy me!!! If you can crew it and afford it you cant go wrong with a Carrack!

 

[Azmodeth]

thats right !

I plan on moving small, expensive items in a redeemer. Or kittens stowed in the vanguards escape pod, haven't decided yet, bids are still open.

The best ship for hauling depends on what you are hauling and why. The best ship may in fact be an Aurora or it could be a Javelin Destroyer. What you use will depend on your cargo.

Bulk - Hull C
Solo or with friends (and CityBoppin) - Freelancer MAX

Bang for buck the BMM is a steal. CIG has admitted it's severely under-priced for what you get. Hella nice cargo space, well armored, fast (for its size) and well armed (for a merchant ship. Not a Destroyer or Corvette, but she definitely has some teeth!). Less of a "pure cargo" hauler to me, and more of a Deep Space Trader that can hold its own better than any other cargo ship her size.


Beware though, Banu MM and Caterpillar are two of the least updated or talked about ships. Ye be warned.

Curiously though what do we know about the MM ?

There is actually a plethora of information recently on the caterpillar.

He pretty much covered all of it. There hasn't been an update to the BMM since the concept sale.

BMM for the price of $250 is a good armoured hauler
Hull series for pure cargo runs but a bit of a soft target $50 to $600
Connie Taurus, Freelancer Max, Caterpillar are also good options...
and you want any of these with LTI go the P-72 route during the sale not really a sale, sale
