Not really a question more advice I guess.

I regularly hear people mentioning that the Orca makes a great hauler for ore and minerals (and other stuff), which is true.

However it requires a lot of skills and a lot of cash. I recently discovered that the Miasmos has a pretty decent 42,000m3 capacity Ore hold and 550m3 hold that can be expanded. Also the Kryos has a similiar size Mineral hold of 43,000m3 along with a 550m3 hold that could be expanded.

They both have very low skill requirements and can be bought for just over 1million ISK

I have been playing eve for almost a year and never realised this, so hopefully this may help miner/manufacturers in transporting supplies.

NB: The Miasmos can also hold gas vapor and ice blocks in its "ore" hold as well, which is very useful considering the size of the product.

"I considered a career in griefing, but then realized that I would never achieve the level of tear generation that CCP manages to do each and every expansion."

The specialized haulers, particularly the Gallente ones, are fabulous for industrialists/miners. I don't bother with expanding the regular cargoholds and instead fit a Damage Control and agility mods in the lows with a shield buffer tank in the mids.

The problem that the Kryos has is its pretty weak tank. It's very easy to stuff enough minerals in to make it a profitable gank target. Miasmos not as much, since ores are lower ISK/m3
