Crime & Punishment

you have a few options
1) orca corp bays are unscannable
2) put your small loots like bpos in small secure cans and lock it holds true for any small loots with low voulme even if your killed in a small fast ship as orca is a turtle looters cant get into a secure can u locked
3)if going through low/null use a cloaky transport otherwise you = fail and lose your valuable loots
4) if moving high voulme low cost gear get a freighter contract ( i have a buddy that runs these sorta contracts in hs drop me a message if this is what you need can work a deal with ya)

5) never ever ever afk autopilot with said loots that should be an obvious one

6) if you meet a gate camp be calm and give your self the 15 seconds to sort out a functional thought (cloaky transport)

cheers mate this is all i can think of

Contract your valuables via courier contract to an expierienced hauler and make sure that the collateral value is sufficient to cover the loss. Then allow the carrier to take the risk. That way you are covered no matter what. Black Frog offers great courier contract services for low-sec/null-sec and high collateral value items.

Thanks for the input!

Last I heard with unsecured containers all they need to do is repackage and the items will come out if it is looted. Haven't tried it personally though.

There are a few ways to go about transporting high value, low volume items in HI SEC. Low/Null refer to someone else, not my specialty.

1) First is contracts, let someone else take the risk and just put up a good collateral so they don't take it.

2) Second, fast cov ops ship with cloak. If they can't see you they can't kill you, generally. Just a smart idea to have warp bookmark so you can insta warp outside hubs like jita or use high ehp ship while undocking than switch to fast ship the next system or different uncrowded station.

3) Orca, can't scan corp hanger bay and loot doesn't drop from it and high EHP. Makes it one of the most prefered choices.

4) Than there is the high EHP club in which you have so much EHP it take a lot of effort to suicide gank, so you keep your cargo value under what its worth to try, and the logistics involved in getting something together to suicide gank it is difficult as well. Freighters and Jump Freighters belong in this club.

But so do other ships, my prefered ships for this are Ammar ships with bounus to either resist or more armor. Things such as the maller, augoror navy issue, prophecy, damnation, and abbaddon come to mind for this. My preference for armor tanked ships are because of the ability to use slave implants to increase the amount of armor you have, weither or not you have it does not matter as there is no way of your enimey of knowing unless you told them, or till they pod you.

So if they want to gank you it's a smart idea to prepare for worse case scenerio which can get quite pricey real quick. A few of my builds had the maller with 90k ehp, augoror navy issue with 120-130k ehp, prophecy with over 140k, damnation 300K+, abbandon easily over 200k. This is with standard t2 fit and t1 rigs, with something like a set of slave implants you will easily reach the freighter ehp on all ships minus the maller while still having less sig and be faster to warp and while warping. You can achieve higher or lower numbers as all those fits were with "passive" modules so I don't have to activate anything and I was going off memory, and I have used a few of these personally to great effect.

5) Than there are just the cloaky ships, cov ops, transport ships, t3. Align hit cloak, warp while cloak it's hard to kill what you can't lock.

6) T3 cloaky ship, you can eaisly get one of these wit high EHP and a cloak. Basic idea of to not be seen while traveling and if you do get caught have enough EHP to live through the gank.

7) You can also store make your items unscanable. If I remember you either had to "double wrap" it basically courier contract to alt, than courier back to yourself, or it had to be in a container and than courier contracted. Forgot the exact process, it's something to look into. As most people won't bother taking a risk of suicide ganking a ship (unless it's a easy to kill ship, and because it looks suspicious taking the time to do that) if they don't know what they will be getting in terms of profit.

Well if their ship scanning you I can guarantee their cargo scanning you as well, so going with one of the fits for highest EHP would be the best. And from what I have seen, there is a lot of smaller gangs of suicide gankers than larger ones, so having the higher EHP will hopefully put you past their limit of what their capable of taking down.

But yeah I see what your saying a PVP/normal ship probably won't be priority on the ship/cargo scanning list compared to the industrial ships. One of the other smaller reasons why I fly the high ehp ships I mentioned, but that only really matters at the station hubs and to the jump gates leading to that system usually from what I've seen, which has a lot of traffic. As there is a decent chunk of smaller gangs along the trade routes which are not as busy, but they are usually not capable as much as well. Seeing multple sets of t3 bc/dessies along jump gates not moving, makes you think their not there for sight seeing. Especially after seeing them multiple times while traveling back and forth.

T3 cruiser with nullifier and a small group to guard it ? But the best thing to remember is :

Stay Calm Don't Panic !

Set up a courier contract with collateral that covers goods, perfectly safe because if the mark... courier, gets ganked you lose nothing

Black Frog has worked well for me in the past.

I would use an inty myself for low / null. Would prefer to have guns and tank so your not an easy target, and just race through as fast as possible. I would also fit an AB for smaller sig radius. If you get caught overheat start shooting, launch ECM drones, scram and try to run.

In Hisec, probably a HAC as a comprimise on speed and EHP. Also fill the cargo hold with boring junk such as ammo, paste, drones, low spec mission / npc loot so that high value item isn't so obvious.

Give them to me I'll ship them for you, although you are not getting them back
