I am looking to get a jump clone all pimped out for doing freighter runs into dangerous areas of space for me and I am hoping someone knows of a good list of implants that would make this a little less dangerous

As you didn't post your skills or ship it is hard to say.

Cybernetics 5 so no road blocks there, and it will be an obelisk initially and then most likely upgrading to a charon for the additional capacity.

The Low-Grade Nomad set improves your agility, as does the Evasive Maneuvering implant that goes in Slot 7.

My Charon (alt), with almost perfect Navigation skills (the ones that matter), takes 50 or so seconds to align. Even with implants, you aren't going to do more than shave a few seconds off that time. Going to "dangerous places" in one is probably not a good idea, regardless of the implants you choose.

You are better off to take a shuttle and and spend a day making insta-warp bookmarks. No implant will get you into warp faster than having a nice spot in space right in front of your undock that you can warp too.

doesn't that still leave the freighter with 40 - 50 seconds of vulnerability? ( if you don't have anyone webbing you that is)

WRT to instant undocks, no, it doesn't. A proper instant undock should put you into warp within a second of clicking the button (if not "instantly).

However, this will not help when you jump gates.

That is my primary concern is being caught on a gate, I am trying to determine the best possible way to minimize the time of a freighter being on a gate

The only way that you are ever going to make a freighter get into warp even remotely fast is have a friend web you on a gate. However, this is still far from a good idea if there are hostiles on the gate.

Do not use a freighter in places where you are likely to be shot at. They are giant, expensive, defenseless bricks. If you need to haul something into dangerous space or during wartime, look into blockade runners.

I understand that, just what I have in mind a blockade runner would be impractical. I won't be flying blindly, I am just concerned about minimizing that time inbetween jumping into the system and getting off the gate. everything else I am covered with . that one window of vulnerability though scares the hell out of me.

It's a VERY big window, too.

I suppose you could make the jump (no pun intended) to jump freighters if something like a blockade runner won't work, but those open a whole different world of risks, as well as being quite a bit more expensive than a regular freighter.

Wrap your cargo in cans then contract over to someone else to haul for you.

...where else do you think freighters get killed?

No one is going to kill you on station (You can just redock unless they bump you), and no one is going to kill you on an inbound gate. That "one window of vulnerability" is exactly why people are telling you not to.

Honestly, if you think there's a risk of getting ganked, a better option might be to use a MWD-fitted Orca. It doesn't have nearly as much cargo capacity, true, but even if you rig it with two cargohold optimizations and an ancillary current router (to power the MWD), you can use a damage control/reinforced bulkhead combo to give you more EHP than any of the freighters, you can get to warp in ten seconds from a standstill by cycling the MWD, and you can carry drones to jam out any gankers.

Quick noob question: Isn't webbing a hostile action? How come a friendly can web freighters and not get concorded?

Or the freighter and the webber initiate a duel, and CONCORD lets them do their thing.
