Ships & Modules

So when it was announced that Freighters were losing some of their Cargo and the EHP being re-allocated to different areas on each I felt inspired to design a fit that could carry the MAX amount of cargo Possible with the most amount of tank, within a decent price range. Now of course the more you have to spend the better this gets.

I have designed this at the moment for the Providence / Obelisk ( as they are more armor tanked than their shield counterparts ) but i am 100% sure it will work on the Charon and Fenrir, just maybe with a bit less tank.

Behold! A providence with over 500,000 EHP! And all you need are the following:

1) Freighter
2) 3x Centii A-Type Adaptive Nano Membrane ( about 340m for all 3)
3) Perfect Tanking Skills ( takes a while but worth it! )
4) Full High Grade Slave Pod ( About 2 Billion ISK ) (( Lower and Mid-grade slaves work well too, but high grades give you the most bang for your buch by far ))
5) ( optional ) An Astarte or Damnation with an armored warfare mindlink and T2 links following you around wherever you go
( Without this you drop to just under 500K, Still more tank than bulkheads! )

Now of course not all of us have these wonderful things. But if you have the ISK, the Cargo and the Need ( For Speed ) this means you are much harder to gank than a freighter with just RF Bulkheads in the lows. And you wont sacrifice cargo space!

Now some people will argue the 330m in mods will make you more of a gank target, well your not wrong it certainly adds sugar coating to it, especially if there is a nice haul inside. Especially with the addition of a very expensive pod to the equation. Well that choice is up to you, more risk = More cargo and tank = More ISK

Or you can fly Vanilla - Cookie Cutter Freighters that will have less tank and cargo
The Choice is Yours, after all this is just advice

Running T2 vs the deadspace you top out at 415K Roughly, which is quite a drop given how much everything else adds, from what ive seen its still better than bulkheads but for the extra 300m you get almost 100,000 More EHP

Also that is still with HG Slaves and links, my bad

Like I said in the beginning though the more you spend the better it gets, Kinda like a good bottle of wine. Even the B-Types offer improved total EHP at less cost, but to the freighter pilot who needs every ounce of tank to survive a possible gank they have to "weigh what they are willing to pay" to protect a 1.2B Base Investment

Plus the A-types offer the ability to break Half a million EHP for just a bit more ISK where the C-Type fall embarrassingly short at 470,000 compared to a whopping 521,000. Again part of my goal doing this was effective price range, where you have me beat by near 200,000,000 ISK but also max tank without venturing into the Insanely priced officer Adaptives out there that just serve to make you bigger gank bait.

Also 10% is alot of EHP and can mean the difference between life and death. And i wouldn't want my 1.3-1.4b investment to die where a 1.5 would have lived to tell the tale and i knew it. ( And completed the courier run, by a mile! )

Like i said its advice, the choice is up to the pilots
