I'm looking for a jump freighter setup

This is what i'm thinking in the first instance..

Highs - Mars Bar, Twix, Kitkat
Meds - Squash, coke type of thing
lows - cat on lap to keep me calm

Then a bunch of implants

snake alpha
snake beta
snake gamma
snake delta
snake epsilon

Then these or something similar (cheaper)

Inherent Implants 'Squire' energy systems operation EO-606 (6% cap recharge)
Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Evasive Maneuvering EM-706 (6% agility)
Inherent implants 'squire energy management EM-806 (6% cap)
Skirmish warfare mindlink (25% agility) - only works whilst you are in system with your cyno buddy

Why snakes though?

With all those candy bars in the slots, your alignment time is going to suck. I recommend the agility ones.... w/e they're called.

I would say upgrade the Mars Bar, Twix, and KitKats to the trader-friendly PayDay.

You might have to put a Peanutty Booster in the lows to accommodate it, though.

I recommended Mexican jumping beans, you'll save on the isotopes.

Cat on lap is glitchy at best. These kinds of fittings have a history of problems too lengthy to post here.

I prefer Pepsi (Officer) over Squash (Storyline) , but that might be personal preferance and nothing more.


Decent fit overall. +1

What are you insane? Coke on a jump freighter? You know they where designed with Mr. Pib in mind.....

Ahh... the classic "Dr Pepper" vs "Mr Pibb" debate.

Personally, I vote for Mr Pibb.

It takes just as good, and didn't waste years of college.

Your implant selection suggests you don't understand the core principle of safe jump freighter usage. A jump freightor should never jump to a cyno outside dock range of a friendly station, so what are the cap implants for?

As snakes don't help your align time, I can only presume you plan to AFK autopilot your JF through highsec... as there should never be another time where the max velocity would be of use. Snakes for that? Also, risky behavior with such a valuable ship.

Indeed I admit I don't, actually not having the skills yet to pilot a JF I am planning ahead, however your mail suggests some further reading is needed on my part and probable testing too.
