OK so I'm still a noob, but I just bought a Bestower for Courier contracts and I am wondering what the best way to fit it is. Any advice would be very helpful.
Thanks -Zee

High slots: Anything really, usually a tractor beam and/or salvager Med slots: Medium shield extenders, resistance amplifiers for EM and therm and/or invulnerability fields Low slots: Expanded cargoholds and inertia stabs,as few expanders as needed to fit the courier package, the rest agility. If you autopilot, use nanofibers instead of inertia stabs.
But IMHO, for courier missions, a Sigil would be better, more agility and still enough cargo space to fit the packages. -------- Ideas for: Mining

L1-L2 couriers- run a Magnate or Sigil L3-L4 couriers- run a Sigil
[Sigil, Cheap T1] Local Hull Conversion Inertial Stabilizers I / Expanded Cargohold II Local Hull Conversion Inertial Stabilizers I / Expanded Cargohold II Local Hull Conversion Nanofiber Structure I / Expanded Cargohold II Local Hull Conversion Nanofiber Structure I / Expanded Cargohold II Local Hull Conversion Nanofiber Structure I / Expanded Cargohold II
Medium Azeotropic Ward Salubrity I / Y-S8 Hydrocarbon I Afterburners Medium Azeotropic Ward Salubrity I Heat Dissipation Amplifier I / Any shield hardeners
Small Tractor Beam I [empty high slot] / Small Tractor Beam I
[Shields Rigs / Cargo Optimization Rig]
Carry 5x Expanded Cargohold II in your cargobay at all times. Swap out the nano & istabs as you need the capacity, else leave them as default. This ensures you get optimal align time and speed when moving without cargo.
Don't waste you isk on T2 istabs. Look and compare the stats. T2 nanofibers are ok, but the above gives you the best bang for your isk at an almost negligible loss ... it also saves you a wee bit of armor.
Mids are typically shield buffer fitted against Gallante hybrid. Who knows, you might get lucky surviving a gank. A slim chance is better than none You can also fit an optional Y-S8 AB for extra mobility. Surprisingly effective on the Sigil.
A Bestower is also fitted similarly, but they're a bit slower than Sigils. However, they work best if you run multiple L4 couriers out of the same station/system as sum of cargo may exceed > 12,000m3.

Here's what I use 95% of the time:
[Sigil, Sigil] Inertia Stabilizers II Inertia Stabilizers II Inertia Stabilizers II Expanded Cargohold II Expanded Cargohold II
Medium Shield Extender II Medium Shield Extender II Medium Shield Extender II
[empty high slot] [empty high slot]
Warps in 6.6 seconds and a decent cargohold. Not going to warp a bestower that quick and if you are hauling a high dollar load of stuff, that could mean loosing a ship!
