trying to decide if taking JF to Lv 5 is worth it as i cant see any benefits from the 1 month skill, Is there any benefits to doing it ?

Name: Anshar
Hull: Obelisk
Role: Jump Freighter

Creodron surprised many by their quick conception of the Anshar, a stark diversification from their usual drone centric ship designs. The Anshar's specially-developed cargo-manipulation drones allowed Creodron to optimize their loading algorithms and fully utilize every nook and cranny of the ship's spacious interior, ensuring it more than holds its own amongst its peers.

Developer : CreoDron

As the largest drone developer and manufacturer in space, CreoDron has a vested interest in drone carriers but has recently began to expand their design focus and employ drone techniques on whole other levels which has lead some to question where this leap in technology came from.

As the man above said: The benefits are negligible.

1) If 10% reduction in fuel is crucial for your alliance, you're poor and don't deserve to have JF logistics.
2) If you get your JF into a situation where it needs more HP, you're doing something awfully wrong and don't deserve to fly a JF.

Going from IV to V is actually a 1/6th reduction in the amount of fuel used. This increases the effective range of your JF between refuelling points (or allows you to carry more cargo).

It's a nice, but minor benefit. If you're looking to maximise your profit margin and you're making frequent trips with it, then you might feel it's worthwhile on a dedicated JF/Capital pilot.

With JF 4 you can do 6 maximum-range jumps with the fuel in fuel bay. I guess some people MIGHT do longer round-trips but the typical use of JF is 1-2 jumps in, 1-2 jumps back.

As said above, you save on fuel. That is really the only reason to train JF 5. So you need to ask yourself how much are you really going to use it? Are you doing a 4-6 jump round trip from null to high sec just once a week? Well then it prob isnt worth it. Are you doing that same run every other day or more? Then you might want to start considering it.
