Hey, I've just started after my friend showed me EVE for the twentieth time and I have a question, are there any ships that are really good for hauling stuff from my planets?

He gave me part of the money when I subscribed so it shouldn't be a problem for me to afford it if there is one.

The answer to your question is the Gallente Epithal.

This, despite being just a couple million ISK it's the best ship for the job.

There also was a one time released ship that was given when pi was released that was a pure pi ship but not as good as the epithal, forget he name but uses the noctis hull.

Always willing to help all you have to do is ask, though if you're in the other fleet I may not help the way you want. Just a heads up. Pub Channel: Lost Souls Trading Post

Primae possibly? T2 version of the Noctis: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Primae

Upgrade your powergrid to level IV and the Epithal can just barely fit a 10mn MWD, Improved Cloaking Device II, and four warp core stabs. Then apply the cloak trick and you can make it through low-sec fairly easily.

You'll be the most vulnerable when you're interacting with the customs office, because you'll be visible on d-scan and have to burn 2km away from the office to cloak again. To reduce the risk, do all of the transfers you can before you reach the customs office, and have your cargo bay open so you can just drag the goods over and get out.

The Pimae is a lot smaller than the Epithal, and it was a CCP gift. It isn't T2, and it predated the Noctis.

When we asked the art department to craft a new ship to give away over the summer, we weren't expecting something quite as awesome as the Primae hull. In retrospect we probably should've seen it coming, given the quality of stuff they consistently turn out, but our minds were on other things. After seeing the finished product though, we agreed pretty quickly that this design was too damn cool to just be used for a limited-run freebie.
