Itty 5 will get popped it you have anything more than 10 mil isk in it. But it does have a massive cargohold.

The Amarr Cloaky Transport has the biggest hold for the cloakies so I would swing that way if you don't want to get popped to often.

The Orca can hold 250k+ with the right skills, rigs, and expanders

With a proper non AFK fitting you can reasonably move about 100-200mil with a good size hold. Not many Gankers would be really willing to use 2 Tornado's for less to near their ship cost to pop a load that has a drop chance anyway.

I think a small base HP Buff for Haulers would really help the modules work off the base stats. I hope they roleify the haulers like the barges.

Alternative to the Itty V is the Mammoth.

Only requires you to train your racial industrial to IV so it is MUCH faster to get into. Comes decently close to the ITTY V's M3 in raw cargo capacity. Hauls more than an ITTY IV.

A new player or a casual industrialist can get a LOT of use out of a Mammoth before their needs overtake its ability to haul.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

Not wanting to train into an Orcs doesn't have anything to do with its size, but with having to train tons of mining-related skills that are of zero use to anyone who only needs to haul stuff.
