The agent I run missions for is some distance from a trade hub, so I need an industrial to move the ammo from the trade hub. Probably under autopilot.

Which industrial should I use and how should I fit it ?
I'm thinking the hoarder because the ammo bay makes it look like the obvious choice. I just suck at planning fittings.

This is what I'm going with:

[Hoarder, ammo hoard]
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II
Nanofiber Internal Structure II

Large Shield Extender II
Medium Shield Extender II
Medium Shield Extender II
Medium Shield Extender II

Small Energy Neutralizer II
Small Energy Neutralizer II
Small Energy Neutralizer II

Medium Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I
Medium Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I
Medium Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I

Rigs to boost my warp velocity to minimise time in warp. Nanos because if I'm autopiloting, I want my speed and alignment to be as fast as I can. I could raise one of them with i-stabs or overdrive, but only by lowering another.
Shield extenders gave me more EHP than resistance amplifiers. Swapping one of the mediums for an EM ward amplifier lowers my EHP from 14231 to 14183. Hardners are not an option as, if I'm autopiloting, I won't be there to turn them on if I'm ganked.
The neuts are there because I had spare PG and CPU and, if I'm at the keyboard, they might be more useful at allowing me to get away than turrets.

Improved Cloaking Device II

Start with that set up if you want to avoid suicide gank.
Align - cloak - MWD then you warp cloaked when mwd cycle ends, much more useful then neuts.

True. But that setup requires me to be at the controls. Flying through highsec is boring.

Getting to the destination as quickly as possible on autopilot was the priority for my fit. Surviving ganks while on autopilot is a secondary concern. Being able to do something about them if I'm at the controls below that as I find it highly unlikely that I will be at the controls if I get ganked.

If you autopilot it, you can expect to lose it. Use Red Frog if you can't manually pilot it.

Oh god.

When that happens, then I'll fit one to be manually piloted.

When I get ganked, will I be ganked because it's profitable to gank it for a full load of T1 ammo, or because someone is just ganking hoarders as they see them ?

Probably just for fun.

I'd say both ;)

Never ever autopilot something used to transport cargo.
