Having just come into some ISK (A few hundred million), I bought a Rokh. Seeing a deal, I quickly bought the cheapest one despite it being 11 jumps away. My problem is, that I have to go through a few 0.1 sec areas in order to get to the thing.

Since the most powerful vessel I have is a single Cormorant, I thought I might be able to contract someone to haul the thing into safer space for me. Is it possible to shove a 50,000 m3 Rokh into someone else's ship, or should I abandon all hope of doing this in a contract? If possible, what's a good payout?

Also, first post here! If I got it wrong in posting into this section, please tell me politely.

Makes sense to me. Is it possible to have someone courier it though?

Unlikely to be worth it but here you go.

You might have stopped checking this thread but...

Warp stabs in low and fully insured might be less of a loss on death than getting the thing whole after paying 75mil.

Are you sure you can only get to the Rokh via lowsec?

With my autopilot settings, I get sent through lowsec going from Dodixie to Jita, however, there are all-highsec routes too.

Is it 0.1 or -0.1?
If it is sov null you most likely won't be able to dock. If it is npc null or low sec then you are fine.
travel there in a shuttle. It is very very very hard to catch a shuttle in low sec (this is not true in null due to bubbles.
then Buy max insurance. fit stabs and make a run for it.
worse that happens is you collect the insurance isk.
make sure you get your pod out if your ship starts going down :).
People make too much fuss over low and null. They aren't as bad as people make out. The PvP is fun and many of the pilots are even worse than i am at it. Also the corps tend to be better run and more interesting to hang out in.

I'm a relatively new player with very little experience. I've only played for about 38 days.




Thanks for the tips. I'll keep that in mind for next time. The problem with the shuttle in this situation, is that I can't pilot a Rokh yet, as I don't have the right skills yet.

I guess so. Although, having spent over a billion ISK on bounties in the last 3 days, maybe not.

Can you clarify the exact sec status of each system in the route?

Getting a ship through lowsec (positive sec status under 0.5) is considerably safer than busy sovereign null.

My advice would be to resell the ship at 125% of what you paid for it and expect it to take ages to sell.

There is one way that's maybe a little adventurous an definitely not worth the trouble but if I were to risk something that's pretty much my net worth I'd check any alternative.
Finding a wormhole in said system that's a direct connection to a hisec system (or lowsec with hisec exit).
If there is a C1 or C2 intermediary WH system that seems empty it could be a good choice too, if you're several WCS / couple nano fit.
This would require you to be able to actually have scan skills and have a ship (preferably covert ops) that can get there and look around relatively safely.
If I weren't so lazy I'd offer to help but my scanner alt has about 250m worth of implants I should get rid of first, she's not in hisec and she doesn't have a scanning ship in empire either so it would be time consuming, then if there's no WH in system the safest is to wait until there will be one AND local seems empty enough to try (who knows few people may be waiting at the WH).

It's complicated but if you do have a scanning character it could be cheapest way.
