This is an old revision of the document!
This article is intended as a resource for pilots seeking to break into the business of hauling freight in nullsec. Jump freighters are the most expensive non-supercapital hulls in the game, and as such, learning proper risk mitigation techniques is highly recommended before embarking on your first journey.
Jump freighters come in 4 flavors, and all have varying characteristics. Luckily, proper use of this guide will boil all those choices down to the following spectrum: cargo size and fuel burn. Luckily this is an inverse relationship. A listing is given below.
Rhea (Caldari): largest cargo/highest fuel burn Anshar (Gallente) Ark (Amarr) Nomad (Minmatar): smallest cargo/lowest fuel burn
At the writing of this article, Caldari fuel is also the most expensive per unit, however fuel cost calculations are left as an exercise for the reader since they change with market conditions (sometimes rapidly). The same can be said for the cost hulls themselves.
No, not really. The assumption is made that if you're shot at, you're already dead. Agility is effectively negated with the use of webbing alts in highsec (which is the only time your JF should ever be taking a gate).
