Warfare & Tactics

I bought some stuff in a System without recognizing, it is a 0.4 System.
Then I made a courier contract so someone would bring it to me (I can't even fly a Mammoth, so I would Need to fly seevral times).
No-one accepted the courier contract, after some talk it seems, that ppl think, it's a trap.

Questions:

1) It's only one jump from 0.4.station to a high sec System. The whole route is 6 or 7 jumps. How much would I Need to offer that someone with Mammoth Comes and does it?

2) even if it's only one jump... is it really that risky in a 0.4 System?

3) I think about doing the take out myself in several attempts (I will Need 3 flights with my Hoarder). Would you think, it's enough if I make the route once with a cheap ship or should I hire an escorte?

These guys will do it for you reliably, for a fee of course.

HTFU Thats how.

It depends on the system - some systems, like Aunenen, Jan, Tama, are known as pirate hotbeds where any unknown transport is liable to be slagged if it can be caught. Blockade runners might be able to get in and out, but if the load's larger than about 10,000 cubic meters, a blockade runner won't be able to haul the courier package. And low-sec couriers will demand steep fees because of the risks to the expensive ships they'll need to risk to get the job done.

1) Do you mean the system is right next door to a hisec system, or you'd have to go though another lowsec system to get to hisec? Because if it's right next to hisec then it's reasonably safe to just warp to the hisec gate once you've picked up the stuff.

2) Yes. A hauler in a lowsec system is extremely vulnerable. Anything dessie and up will have a go at you, even under gate guns.

3) It all depends on location. If you tell ius the name of the system we could probably advise better.

Depending on what they are, another option might be to sell the goods in the 0.4 system. The problems you're having getting stuff out of lowsec apply equally to getting stuff into lowsec, and consequently the prices can be higher.

I can tell you: in the next 4 hours... but I don't even remember the Name of the System... and if I would, I learned so much, that I wouldn't tell 4 hours before going there, lol :).




The value of the items is 60-90 Million, that's a lot for a noob :).



Yes, it's right next to high sec.


Thanks at all for your Input. Ofc me noobish fool has more questions now:

What's HTFU?




What's MWD?



@all:
I will take it as an adventure and try to do it myself tonight.. if I loose one item, I get mad but learned something. If not, I am happy and feel sooo cool... maybe not, but you get my Point :). I Keep you posted.

Horribly easy 2-man operation if you are not inclined to do it solo:

Get a hold of a friend/corpie/hired tug/whoever you trust. Now...

1. Your companion enters the 0.4 system and scouts the gate in a frigate or other cheap ship.
2. If gate is clear, you jump in and go to station, docking once you arrive.
3. Friend goes to station while you dock and scouts it.
4. If station is clear you undock and instantly warp to the gate and jump.
5. WHILE YOU LEAVE YOUR CARGO IN A STATION IN THE FIRST HIGH-SEC SYSTEM, your friend goes back to gate.
6. Repeat steps 1-6 until all your stuff is in the first hig-sec system.

Congratulations, it's now just a few jumps in high-sec and all you got to worry about are suicide gankers.

Have fun o/

Do what Antares 04 suggests. You'll get a great feel for the game as well as learn some valuable lessons on flying with a scout.

If you hate hauling, do the black and red frog thing.

Listen to that man, he has a confidence-inspiring face...

Your best bet is to use warp stabilizers. Course, these would take the place of cargo expanders, but that is how it goes.

There is one rule to low sec: never take into low sec that which you are unwilling to lose.

Here is how it works. Your ship has a base warp strength of 1. A warp disrupter has a strength of 1. Someone with a warp disrupter will stop your warp then BOOM you are popped. A warp stabilizer adds 1 warp strength to your ship. A warp disputer will not stop you. However, a warp scrambler has strength of 2. So, BOOM you are popped. Also, a warp scrambler will deactivate a MWD (which you might use to burn back to the gate). So, BOOM you are popped.

If I fit stabs then I fit them in two’s. Two warp stabs give you a total strength of 3 and one warp scrambler will not stop your warp. Course, there are faction warp scramblers with strength 3 …

But your best bet is 2 warp stabs. Then just jump in and warp to station. The trickier part might be getting from the station back to the gate … there are ways around that, but that requires more advance work on your part and why should I tell you everything?!?

If you do get popped then don’t wait around. Warp away immediately, to the station (if you are at the gate) and to the gate (if you are at the station). You don’t want to lose your pod, too.

Good Luck.
