Well, I'm sitting at 18700m3 in my Badger 2 and my Bustard will be about 30000m3 or thereabouts. Looking at the forums, they're saying the best alternative is the Mammoth if you don't want to go through training GI5 for the Iteron V. I'll look around some more tonight. My Badger 2 can keep up fairly easily with my 4 retrievers if I'm in the same system and not too far from jump points, and that's with <19km3. The 30km3 in the Bustard should be plenty for what I'm usually going to be doing. I'm not planning to train for hulks anytime soon as I'm working on the skills for L3/L4 missions.

Most of what I'll be doing is high-sec mission-pocket mining, not the usual belt stuff.
