EVE New Citizens Q&A

I can move this stuff for you later tonight. I enjoy hauling. We'll make a contract with collateral to ease any concerns of me running off with your goods. Contact me in game around 0100 Eve time, or just shoot me an eve mail.

Corp hangers are created by people with Corp roles (rent office, I think)

As for moving it all, you'll need an industrial. Transport everything you can repackage over. Then use shuttles or newbie ships (leave your active ship to be in your pod. undock. Dock somewhere else in system. bamm, new ship.) Fly back. Transfer into a ship that you can't carry in your indy. fly back. repeat. trash the newbie ships, or take your indy to get the shuttles.

Or hire someone else to do it. If you have the money, Red Frog freight have a good rep.

All depends on skills, my mammoth will do 35,000m3 with a few cargo expanders. If you are dedicated to freighting services you could get a freighter (my fenrir will do over 700,000m3 if memory serves). Failing that you're stuck with making several trips or making a courier contract. Make a rough estimate of the value of all the goods and set that as the collateral.

If you're nearby and go with the contract idea send me an eve-mail, if we're close i'll do it for free with some extra freight cargo room.

Fit a tank, fill the middle slots with the best medium shield extenders allowed by your skills and isk.

When I first started playing I had this idea that I had to take all my stuff with me whenever I relocated my home. But this really isn't necessary. I assume at this stage that you are based in high sec and you are mainly carebearing, not PvP.

All that junk that you have been collecting from your missions - reprocess it, certainly everything from Meta 3 down. Don't worry about the fact that you haven't got perfect refine skills, just make sure the base reprocessing yield of the NPC station is 50% (some are as low as 30%). Sell the minerals on the markets at the same station using sell orders. Sell or reprocess the T1 ships you leave behind, certainly cruiser down and the basic haulers you get from the tutorials. There are exceptions, but most of the time you will get more for the minerals than the ships and modules, but the big plus is that you only need 8 sell orders for the minerals.

So all you need to do is make about 3 trips. Take your main missioning ship, then come back for the salvaging ship, then the biggest hauler. Shoving the gear that you want to keep into the holds. Buy whatever else you need in the new local market. For the two trips going back, there isn't really much danger for your pod (in high sec), just undock it, go to the nearest station where you don't have a ship, accept the free noob ship and make the trip back on that, trashing it at the end of the trip. If your new corporation is at war, don't do any of this. Leave your gear where it is until the war is over or accept the offer of help from the neutral hauler above.

That will probably leave a few ships and items left over that you are too attached to sell or reprocess and think might be useful in the future. It doesn't hurt to leave them behind and occassions will arise where you will be passing close in a pod and they will be a lifesaver. Leave them fitted, for that reason.

The Eve UI isn't particularly friendly for viewing your assets remotely. If you use containers to sort your gear, unload those containers, repackage everything and stack them. Assembled ships:- empty the cargoholds and dronebays, rename the ships with an underscore prefix and then the shiptype eg _Rifter, _Stabber, so they are all grouped together at the top. In a few months time you will be bound to be searching for a specific item or ship and cursing if you don't do this.

I actually enjoyed my first move. It gave me a chance to practice flying and gave me a real mind map of the area. I learned about unfitting, repackageing, shuttles, cargo capacities, among other things. Thanks for the pod idea, old news to you guys, but a revelation to me.
