What kind of containers will hauling missions use, and how can I see that? Will I have to load 101 one-SCU boxes, or what?

TL;DRHauling missions won't require loading many one-SCU boxes; their cargo amount and box size are based on an ideal ship for the grade, though smaller ships can still do them more slowly.

No, you won't have to load 101 one SCU boxes. You might have to load six one SCU boxes. But the missions are designed so that the amount of SCU and the size of the box is based on the ideal ship for the grade of the mission. So you can do the mission in one run if you have the appropriately sized ship.

So the ideal ship for the grade of the mission. So you're saying that each of these missions are designed with a certain size or scope of ship in mind?

When we go over them and we're planning out the grades and the difficulties, we will look to go, right, this one is one that we class for, say, a Caterpillar. Now, it doesn't mean that you have to have a Caterpillar to do it. It's just kind of the grading that we do. So we'll go Caterpillar, that means this much SCU. You could do it in a Pisces if you want. It's just going to take quite a bit longer and you might have to leave the back door of your Pisces open with a 32 SCU stuck out of it. But that's how you want to play the game.
