My trade alt will be able to fly the Amarr transport ships in a couple of days but never having used these before I was wondering if anyone can suggest what hardwires would be useful?

I was thinking more along the lines of tank although I'm not planning on transporting anything particularly valueable, just don't want to make it easy for someone to volley them. I realise there is a warp speed hardwire, not sure if there are more than one but I can have a look and see how that fits with what else is available.

Thanks in advance

If you're getting locked in a blockade runner you're doing something terribly wrong.

I'd skip the Impel, deep space transports are really meh for what they do at their pricetag. Even when tanked out the arse you will draw attention due to your unscannable cargo hold, because gankers will think you're transporting something valuable even if you aren't.

What are you using them for? Highsec? Low? Null? Ship agility implants benefit transports greatly.

Hey, thanks for the replies both of you. I guess I'll have a look at agility and evasive maneuvering :)

Usage, mostly high sec initially but I lived in low sec for most of last year so I can get around in low if I need to or have a reason to.

I'll have a look at the Nomad set as well, I forgot about that (never really had any call to use them before).

The % tank hardwires give you is so low (excluding slaves) that I doubt they are worth while. As mentioned agility is great, the sooner you leave the less damage you take not to mention just generally good when travelling.

One of the first few skills I get to 5 is evasive manoeuvres.
