I can move my stuff by myself in several small trips, but I was wondering if there was some other cheap and efficient way to move several frigates and modules from one hi-sec space station to another? (In fact, a lot of the stuff I need to move is in the same system.)

First off sell what you dont need.
When you have done that you can also check if you can sell the ships at your current location, and just re-buy them where your moving.

You can also use haulers to cut it down a bit, but you should be prepared to do a couple of trips no matter what.

You have couple of options:

1. DIY - As you found out. This can be pack as much as you can in a single ship and haul it over (comes with a risk of being ganked and losing it) or fly it over 1 by 1 (takes more time).

2. As NC85 said, sell the unneeded and rebuy the needed in your new location.

3. Outsource it publically by using public courier contracts and hope someone wants to haul it (make sure you pay them enough to be worth the effort and DO NOT forget to set a proper collateral on the courier).

4. Outsource it to dedicated hauling entities like Red Frog or PushX and let them haul it for you.

Ship hulls often are the kicker. But in the case of tech1 hulls, sometimes its not a big deal if you reprocess it. Frigates and destroyers, maybe cruisers should likely yield you a mineral-worth that's very similar to what you originally paid. Though you wouldn't recoup the cost of any lost rigs.

Without those hulls, you can probably haul it handily in a Bestower or Iteron, and/or a Kryos mineral hauler.

The best way is dont. I have ships and stuff all over new eden. Even way out in NPC stations in 0.0. Every now and then you find yourself in a pod in these system and you can reships for lols!

Never really understood the whole "where is your home". When rent is free almost everywhere and unlimited space, why have just one home?

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.

I want to run FW missions out a particular hub which has all the services and agents that I regularly use. The place I'm currently at get camped too often by the enemy militia and makes it too hard to reliably run in and out in a hurry when I need to get a new ship out into the field quickly.

The problem is that the station where I want to my stuff to doesn't have a large or active market. So, even if I could buy everything there, it would probably be at a premium compared to the active hub nearby where I am currently situated with most of my stuff. And, unfortunately, I am not space rich enough to just buy anything at any price at any time while always being at risk of getting camped.

But I don't know what a fair price for moving my stuff is. I was hoping their might be a forumula. Like... volume of stuff x number of jumps x value of the stuff x a percentage depending on whether the systems needed to move through are high, low or null-sec.

If you have ships that are unrigged, strip them and repackage them. (DIY) You can fit quite a decent amount of ships in a T1 hauler.

A lot of corps have freighter/orca pilots... outside of that public contracts are servicable, but you'll pay more the quicker you want the items moved.

There are plenty of people who are willing to haul your stuff around for a fee. Here are a few of them, with nice webpages with calculators to tell you how much they will charge.

Black Frog

Note, Red Frog is High Security space only. Use Black Frog if your pickup/dropoff systems are low sec. PushX goes everywhere.

You can also use public courier contracts. If you do that, you may be able to get your stuff moved cheaper than one of the above, but it may (or may not) take longer.


So now you have an idea how much it will cost. Consider, is it worthwhile to use a courier, haul the stuff yourself, or buy new?

Red Frog just moved about 680,000m3 of ships into my new place. Within a day, about a mill per jump.
Easy, simple, reliable. I would have loved to see the big ship dock and deliver... sniff.... but... all of a sudden all my stuff was simply there 8). No stripping of ships... worked like a charm. I started flying back and forth myself. Got tired real quick. Letting red Frog move my stuff was a great thing.

Good luck!
