Assuming I am manually warping and travelling 10, 20 or 30+ systems, what would be the best all-around combo for optimal speed? - Istabs have stacking penalties, so 3x istabs is probably slower all-around than 2x istabs + 1x WA. - The first Istab saves 7.2 secs every system. Thoughts?

The hard part is the istab will give you a fixed reduction in time, increased warp speed is going to be variable.

I was wondering if someone tested these and found out say... 3x WA are a better choice for speed 90% of the time or something. My gut feeling tells me it's either going to be 1x istab + 2x WA or 2x istab + 1x WA that is the best combo for all-around longer travel using Freighters.

That being said, when my jump freighter is moving around between my POSes in the same system, I fit 3 x Intertial Stab II on it to make intra-system movement as fast as possible.

If your freighter gets caught, it's very likely your not getting away. So a Slave set is pointless, that and your main HP is going to be in hull regardless.

I tend to see more Nomad implants on Freighters, though I don't all myself. But if you have a webber which you probably should have the ascendancy would probably be better. But again I only haul for myself and when I do, it's during the slower times.

You only need the web ship for a handful of systems really and in those you can make use of clever safe spots.

To repeat and clarify what others have said already, if you are using insta-webber, you don't need align time bonuses, meaning that you're better off with anything that isn't nomads or istabs. At least you won't need both and/or full rack of those.
