So, right now I use a t3. its bubble proof, cloaks and warps, its very safe, but is it the safest?

Is a speedy speedy frig blowing out of a bubble at several km/s safer then a t3 that sits, cloaks, and then warps. Now the huge advantage to the t3, is mine fits 1700m3 cargo, so i can get a modest amount of equipment or valuables through.

However, if you absolutely positively have to have it delivered, whats safest?
If a speedy frig is in, what types, and what kind of fits?

I like to have my cake and eat it too

T3 is def the safest. Frigs in bubbles often get caught.

Ofc, you'd have to fit it somewhat differently then what you do today.

Well, T3s can fit oversized MWD, you can get like 4-5 km/s out of them then (with T2 MWD, that's it), that is on top of bubble immunity and cloak. This will generally allow some space for tank aswell (where frigs can die to smartbombing camps on occasion). You won't be able to do anything else with this fit though.

I wouldn't say though that said MWD will significantly improve T3s performance as travel boat though, it's generally not how they roll anyways.

It depends on what you haul actually. If it's just your clean clone (unless it's 100+ mil clone ofc), then maybe you'll be more effective to die in covops several times than risk half a bil ship.

The safest way would be blackops
