This should be a quick one. I am looking to transport my goods to market, mainly T1 ships atm, and the the Itty V is slowing me down. Several trips to market after one day of production runs.

Next logical step for transport would be a freighter or an Ocra. But is there anything between that or anyway to ferry more goods until I fly one of those ships?

Thanks!

You can go for a DST, which is both safer and can carry 60k m3, but training for a freighter isn't that much worse, like a week or something past getting a DST. It really depends on what you're carrying, if you're operating on high m3, high margin stuff get the freighter, but if you need something to slip by gank squads without taking as many trips get the DST. Keep in mind though that they aren't a progression, training for the DST doesn't also train towards a freighter. It's one or the other unless you train a decent time for both.

This is a signature.

It has a 25m signature.

No it's not a cosmic signature.

Probably.

Btw my corp's recruiting.

I believe you will find out very soon, that T1 ships production outside FW region is not profitable at all. Bowhead is the right ship to ferry ships, but before you will get that I also suggest you try deep space transport as suggested.

That thing:
[Mastodon, fast wrap]
Damage Control II
Type-D Restrained Nanofiber Structure
Inertial Stabilizers II
Inertial Stabilizers II

50MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive
Large Ancillary Shield Booster, Cap Booster 150
Medium F-S9 Regolith Compact Shield Extender
Limited Adaptive Invulnerability Field I
Limited Adaptive Invulnerability Field I

Improved Cloaking Device II
[empty high slot]

Medium Ancillary Current Router II
Medium Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I

Giant Secure Container
Huge Secure Container

Should be able MWD/Cloak trick and tank pretty much damage if you will get catched, so you have chances to surviv till concord comes or burn back to gate.

Absolutely free head start for newcomers!. Just click the link and get extra 250 000 SP!

just curious, how can you get 60K m3 cargo space out of a DST? I must be missing something.

I thought Bowhead can only carry assembled ships?

50K fleet hanger + whatever cargo you can scrape out of it.

Freighter for packaged ships
Bowhead for Rigged ships.

Bowhead is a much better ship though, Its way faster to warp, fewer trade off when fitting it ect.
