I have only played around in my crane to test how to use cloak, and it only takes about 3 seconds to warp.

1) Click Warp
2) 0.1s later, click cloak
3) 2.9sec later, already at warp while cloaked.

Not to mention about 11AU/s

I use a similar fit on my Viator, tho I do have cargo expanders.

I use it for the occasional low-sec courier run, and only once was I ganked. And it took 2 pilots, one in a Tornado, I forget the other ship that was in on it , and I almost even made it out then.

But yes, try it out, and follow the tips. Tho its not a guarantee you'll make it all the time, it's deff worth the investment.
I replaced my Viator right away w/out any 2nd thoughts......Shocked

I posted in the Ships / Module forum to get fittings for an occator / viator but i would like to ask you guys regardless of fittings specifically about your tactics to avoid HighSec Gankers.

I got killed yesterday in HighSec (0.5) in an Iteron V... from a sniping Tornado with 1400mm's while jumping manually from gate to gate and it was over very quick, resulting in me losing 50% of my wallet worth in assets :( although i even had intertias fitted so i can align faster, it didnt help i was obviously to stupid to do it right.

However, as i already mentioned in the other thread i'm very unfamiliar with how a suicider operates in HighSec in the first place and how i should counter it. Some people say even a Blockade Runner wont protect me, someone else suggested to contract the stuff so it can't be scanned.

How do you go on about this stuff in HighSec ? Whats the weakness of such gankers ? What can i do ?


My question is what was the value of the cargo you were transporting? In my experience if tou keep the value as low as possible that removes the major incentive to pop you.
