As far as I can tell... Caldari has the most cargo and gallente has most hp so what's so good about minmatar or amarr freighters? Does it even really matter that much? And yes before you ask I did compare them but I couldn't find any big differences.

Some of them look cooler than others.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Fenrir has speed and agility, Providence has balanced characteristics. The differences aren't large.

Since they made the changes that allow you to do some fitting, I don't really see much of a difference. You are can a square pinata or a rounded pinata. I prefer the square one and yell, "oo-Tee-Dee" as i enter warp each time.

Providence looks awesome and has the most skins available. Considering how long you're going to have to stare at it that actually matters.

In all seriousness, Obelisk is the tanky one, followed by the Providence, Charon, and Fenrir.

Charon has the largest cargo, followed by Obelisk, Providence, and Fenrir.

Fenrir aligns fastest, followed by Providence, Obelisk, and Charon. Same order holds for sub-light speed, god forbid you ever use it.

Providence really is the middle-of-the-road choice. Charon can haul the most, which I suppose is what the damn things are for. Obelisk is the other middle man, but does well with tank should it ever become an issue. Fenrir can shave a few seconds per gate if you're not webbing, which can make a long trip slightly shorter.

Overall? I like my Providence. I can fly an Obelisk but haven't really done so much. Fenrir and Charon aren't worth their tradeoffs to me.

The Fenrir looks like a Jawa sandcrawler. That is all you need to consider.
