What's the best way to move stuff to/from a trading hub and a wh? Criteria is below

1. Cheap isk and sp wise
2. Volume of goods will be low, just one person. Random ships, ammo. Will also be bringing in a tower at first as well.

I'm thinking a simple DST would work. Cheap, not a high value target, big enough for one person etc etc

If you can DST use a BR. Better warp speed, cloak, probes in high. Just don't be bad and get caught.

If thuggin' was a category I'd win a Grammy

The tech 2 transports are by far the best. But A tech 1 will do in a pinch

Good scouting and a military escort will matter more than hull selection.

Prowler > * unless you need to move larger volumes - I wouldn't use anything else personally unless just moving tat I don't care about.

If your moving (cheaper packaged) ships, quantities of fuel, etc. then the DSTs work nicely now with the corp hangar, but as above hull selection in that case is secondary to good scouting and backup.

Solo, blockade runner
With an escort. Deep space transport.
Large amounts.. Orca.
Best ship is backup combat ships, ECM ships and or webbers.

A well trained DST is good bait for solo cloaky people. It can survive for a while. Long enough for backup to come.

But that's a well trained DST.

Yaay!!!!

This maths holds true for non-POS related logistics. A DST in fact, if you go full hauler fit, can fit nearly as much as an Orca, is way faster (especially a hull-rigged Orca), has a decent tank, warp stabs and MJD. In fact, if you are not moving (small) amounts of fitted ships, and you have even a rudimentary amount of intel within and on your wormholes, a DST is the prefferable choice to an Orca or a Blockade Runner.

If one of your chars can fly a DST, they can also fly cov hauler.
Buy one of each. Use whichever one is appropriate to the situation.
Entrance is in low/null or whatever? Cloaky. Occasionally the DST depending on what/who is outside.
Entrance is a static/random hisec? DST.

As always, cloaky eyes on entrance to scout, astero works.

I assume when you mean one person, you mean one person running two accounts at least.
Because wormholes with only one char useable at a time don't work so well.
Possibly a C1 PI hole would be ok, but otherwise, not so much.

If you're in a Nereus and whomever is in the whole your flying through is cautious they are going to suspect bait. Sometimes obvious bait is just deceptive transport...
