I've got a handfull of missions left at my current station. Its the first station after all the starter missions. I've accumulated about 6 ships other then the one i'm flying along with various items in the item hanger. What do you do with your stuff back at the station? Can you repackage ships and then put them in your cargo?

Yes, you can repackage ships and haul them in an Industrial ship, however if those ships have any rigs installed, those rigs will be destroyed. The best thing to do is take a shuttle in the Industrial ship along with all your other stuff and then just shuttle back to get your rigged ships.

After a while, you'll probably accumulate lot's of stuff in various stations so there's actually no need to pack everything up and haul to different stations.

What I do is just set up a station in various regions as a main 'Base Of Operations' and when the other stations nearby get a lot of assets in them, I just go around, collect up everything and then transport to the main 'Base' in that general area.

If you can fit them, sure. Honestly, I just move a couple ships and fittings to wherever I am moving to. If I am in the neighborhood later on, I grab a little more. I tend to wander back to the starter stations for skillbooks for instance, so I do it in a capsule or JC or something and bring things with me when I head back.

This took me back to being a "youth" in Eve!

As previous posters have stated, just take the ships you need and allow your assets list to develop. One of the weird things about this game is that you grow "attached" to a station. It is really odd but extremely human.

Eventually as you get into the game you will end up with stuff ALL OVER the place. There will be a "click" moment when you realise it is an advantage to have assets in different locations - it means you can't be trapped or penned in to one location without options.

I remember asking this same question. Best of luck o7

Well I'm sure you don't need all your ships to do missions. Just move your main missioning ship and get your other ships when you need them.

What I do when moving from station A to station B.

Buy an industrial ship in station A if you don't have one already.

Fly ship to station B.

Buy shuttles in station B (as many as you need return trips to collect more ships).

Fly shuttle to STation A.
Fly ship to B then shuttle back to A.

When all ships but the industrial are moved to B then..

Fly last shuttle to station A.
Repack all shuttles and drop them in the industrial.

Fly industrial to station B.

You've successfully moved your assets.

Every pilot needs an industrial ship, as you're discovering.

That said, the ships and the gear you got are probably very common. Right click them and view market details, see how many are sold everywhere. Because they're common, it's quite a bit of time savings for you to sell your stuff, travel with just one ship and the money in your wallet, and re-buy anything you need when you get to your destination.

It's also less risk as you don't transport quite a bit of value in a weak industrial. But, you lose some money because you're selling low and buying high, rather than the opposite.
