Are there any Ships inbetween specialized Haulers like the Epithal and larger ships like Freighters? my PI is about 105k m3, to much for my Epithal without having to make a second Trip.

The Orca would be a option, it provides 50k build in hangar and 40k Cargo(what can be increased by the ship skill and cargo extenders). Also it got a 50k m³ ore bay on top of it.

So the Hanger can hold PI as well? Hummmm.

Pulling your leg, Orca is the way to go, tank it and add MWD for 10 second align time.

As everyone said, get an Orca. Damage Control II and Reinforced Buldheads II in the lows, Invuls and a Microwarp Drive in the meds, highs are up to you. An ancillary current router and two field extender rigs and you're done ;)
Oh, and the Orca has 40k fleet hangar plus 30k cargo hold, plus 5% cargo hold for every skill level in Industrial Command Ships. So about 70k total plus the ore hold.

They should make "T3" hauler, where you could change the type of holds with rigs or modules and capacity somewhere at 250k range Attention

T3 haulers are desperately needed and much talked about. However, even for possibility of these being introduced We need to wait for the great ship balancing to finish.

There are the t2 transport ships. Honestly though man, just take more than one trip. Off you don't want to get ganked over PI then take it in 4 trips with a tanky badger

Plus you can put 1 fitted Epithal in ship maintenance - thats an additional 67.5k m3 of PI.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.

2 trips in a hauler will still be at least twice as quick as one trip in an orca.

Have you tried this? AFAIK, only ammo in fitted ships

Every now and than we have someone declaring they need a mini freighter or something along those lines. Saying industrials don't hold enough, freighters are too slow, etc.

Personally I think they should be happy right now the industrial got re-balanced this soon in the game and have specialized cargo's now.

Funny thing is the jump freighter fills the role most people want, but they just don't have the funds for it and thus are crying for the mini-freighter. As for the T3 hauler never heard of one even proposed before, but hearing about it now I want it just to see it suicide ganked.

There is ship between specialized haulers and freighter. That ship is a jump freighter. A bit pricy, but it's marginally more agile and has approx 100k more ehp.

Although using Orca would be probably more reasonable option.

Here, sanity... niiiice sanity, come to daddy... okay, that's a good sanity... THWONK! GOT the bastard.

An oldie, but a goodie:

EDIT: Shield rigs don't add that much EHP to an Orca (it's all in the hull assuming a DCII and a RBII), so if you put 2 x Tech 2 and 1 x Tech 1 cargo rigs on one with maximum skills you get a 62,100 m3 cargo hold along with the 40,000 m3 corporate hanger.
