So I got this storyline mission, 8000 cargo delivery (80 units), two jumps into low sec. I thought about refusing but now I'm interested in doing it.

I have gallente indy 4, thinking of getting a iteron III with a cloak and some inertias. Any tips?

edit: I've been doing some fits and I can't get bellow 8.5 secs align time with 8000 cargo space in a iteron IV.

Well I went with two warp stabilizers and a expanded cargo with 8k ehp of tank. Was able to do it, only had 4-5 at local in each jump.

I have cloaking IV but how is that mwd trick? You get out of "gate" cloak hit mwd and cloak after it?

Worth the risk to finally get jump clones. -_-"

Can you afford to lose the ship and the mission? If not, don't do it. Are the 2 lowsec systems gate camped? If so, don't do it. There are a lot of variables to take into account, but if you really want to try it you need to first go to youtube and do a search on MWD/cloak trick. Watch it, learn it, practice it, then do it.

It would be more if there was actually people in the gates. Big smile

Are you saying not all lowsec gates are camped? LIES!

There are corps who allready have the staning that you can join and make a clone for free.
Also some people you can pay to use their Rorqual to make a clon, you can even stay in your current corp and do that.

For future reference, your best tool for gathering intel onlowsec systems is the 'ships destroyed in last hour' and 'pods destroyed in last hour' options hidden on the starmap.

3 or more player ships popped should make you nervous. Ten or more means a gatecamp.

I use this method as well, just remember that someone has to be the first person killed in a gatecamp. It could be you.

I would have suggested checking out the route in a shuttle just prior to running your hauler. If you'd already accepted the storyline and wanted to avoid standings loss, I would have also considered setting a short courier contract with a high reward and high collateral and spammed it in a few local systems, you might find a bored blockade runner pilot.

Best option may have been to take a cargo expanded covert ops frigate, and moved a few at a time. covops frigs warp really fast and are pretty safe in lowsec, you could have moved 8000m3 in a decent amount of time. Or any frigate and used the mwd cloak trick.

Only works if you can fit a 10mn mwd onto a t1 hauler (8000 m3), which I'm pretty sure you can't.

Lost a hoarder doing one of those missions. Got popped at the gate on the way back to high sec. Was my last courier mission to low sec. That was probably two years ago.
