some old school freighter tricks can help you carry large loads that are very expensive.

Most common one, which you may or may not like, is to fly off hours. Taking the freighter with 5 billion in items to/from jita prime time UStz may not be a good idea. YOu and the whole east cost coast and the middle states and some West side peeps are all on. Chance of gank higher. Fly that freighter during an off off hour, like say an hour before dt and except for night owls or early morning peeps east coast and its much clearer skies. You get your oceanics to deal with but we by and large are not massive numbers on the server imo. I play oceanic tz and have hauled billions and bliions of stuff no issues.


Or to work your tz, spend a few hours over a few nights and find more clean route(s) to your usual destination(s). Hitting a commonly camped system like niarja...yes you may have problems. As you will with damn near any route automap plots out for you. take them little country roads off the mian highway as it were and generally the gates look a bit less conjested. basically take a fast frigatge and explore the off gates on a route to say jita. gate campers are creatures of habit, they like a few gates. take the time to find gates they don't like basically.


Worst case if an indy making your own stuff....after you do step 2, you may want to move your indy base to a system on that cleaner route. I did this. 5/6 jumps to jita when I ran the ovens alot, all clear as crystal even when I hopped on USTZ if I caught it on a weekend morning. Only saw heavy traffice at 4-4 undock.

Yeah this is what I was thinking.

This here is pretty important. Double wrapper usually mean you are hiding something worth more than you should carry to be safe while all is visible. It's definately not a perfect emthod to carry more than 1 bill.
