Ships & Modules

If you're mainly worried about the Jita undock, make an insta with a frig and warp to that every time you undock. Set up a tab on your overview for just Jita with only stations and gates on it, brackets turned off, etc etc. Undock, warp to your insta then warp to your out gate.

open 'people and places' window before undocking and scroll to undock bookmark (should be highlighted). The second you undock rightclick and warp, no bumping. Anyways, when you undock, you are invulnerable.. you can't bump into anything.

No, I think the point was that you use the T1 frig (an empty one) to make your bookmarks (and it's a good idea to make several, not just one, because gankers have been known to camp at points in line with the Jita undock), at which point you've got warp-out targets you can use later for your hauler. (My technique is to open the People and Places to my personal bookmarks page, and use the bookmark there to warp off the station.) You've got ... was it thirty seconds? Sixty? ... of invulnerability when you undock, so if you're afraid you'll get bumped off true by the outgoing traffic, you can dock up and try again in a minute or two.

A back-of-the-envelope calculation tells me that an average suicide gank Tornado will cost roughly 100 million ISK and do about 10,000 alpha (and get Concorded after one shot), so figure every 10,000 EHP you have as buffer is 100 million ISK's worth you can carry before a gank becomes profitable. With two T1 Trimarks, a T2 damage control, one T2 800mm plate, T2 active explosive hardener, two T2 EANM's and one T2 energized layering membrane (which actually does a bit better than a third EANM), you can get well over 70,000 EHP of armor buffer alone

ETA: from an Occator, I should have said. Post must have been cut off. Stupid me.

My understanding is that the 30 seconds of invulnerability switches off the moment you try to warp anywhere or activate any modules...so you are technically vulnerable when you begin to align. If your angle is a little off and you have to align even a little, there is a chance you'll bump another ship and have your warp greatly delayed. If that happens, just dock up and try again.

EHP before implants and gang bonus:
97,5k vs. omni damage
93,8k vs. RF EMP
84,8k vs. Void
80,4k vs. Scorch

And if you've got enough spare powergrid, you can swap that layered membrane for a 400mm T2 plate, which will outdo the 15% bonus of the membrane.

Impel still has better resists profile against projectiles...

A quick warp and cloaky hauler is almost un-killable.

Second choice would be a real freighter.
Takes many ships and lots of organization to kill it.
Cargo has to be worth more than the gang loss
Hauls more
Holds its value

Volune of goods is also a factor. If it's very small, a covops frig with nanos/inert stabs/cloak may serve you better. IMHO, Deep Space Transports are just not worth it, but blockade runners can be teh sex when fitted well.

if the stuff is small, use a cloaky tengu, will give the ganker hard time
