At least one, but preferably two for anything you intend to warp to and another one for anything you want to undock from.



Another 2 month old thread lol.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

After noon all,

First, I’m going start with “I made some bad choices”. I feel I had made better choices after the fact but luck wasn’t on my side this last time.

Recently returned. Prior to leaving I didn’t have much trouble with these types of things before. Now been having all sorts of issues.

So spit it out already what’s the problem? Just Hauling stuff. I only manually fly, I do not use AP.

I logon for the first time in a year or two. Find myself in Jita. Decided before I fly out down to my assets I’d load up a frigate with something for a return (region trading). Undock, insta popped. I’ve been back a whole 5mins.

Ok, I really can’t blame anyone but myself on that one. I should of tanked it and choose a better hull if I was going to be moving something of decent value, plus had a insta undock bookmark set.

Next I jump in my freighter and I’m moving a bit of trit down a high sec pipeline, while aligning an attempt was made by a fleet to gank me. I managed to get out with 15% structure. Thankfully they didn’t have enough DPS before concord showed up. The next 30mins or so I spent repping the thing because it was 90m to repair it.

This point the freighter has no value to me anymore, I can’t move product. Quite a big hit to lose that. I’ll reframe from trading and moving stuff and just use it for my needs. Not worth the risk. Which is a real shame, that’s one of the things I enjoy doing and was looking forward too. So I sold it and decided to stick with just transport ships, which I have max skill for. Sure I’ll have to take a bunch of extra trips. But least survivalbity is greatly improved. Mean time perhaps I’ll another use for this guy.

Last night I was moving stuff one jump out in low sec for one of my other toons. Like I often did in the past. I never warp directly to station if I can’t D-scan the station first. In this case I could see the station from the gate. All clear, cool. After I warped (cloaked) , a ship undocked at the station. Not something I can really control. Least I do have a bit of a shield tank fitted,nice resists. I land, my ship decloak’s naturally. Insta popped before docking request completed.

Reflecting back, in the short time I’ve been back things haven’t been going so well for me. While hauling something in a frigate was a stupid on my part. The rest of my experience thus far was things out of my control. To the point I can’t even haul something in any configuration I can currently fly (Frig, hauler, Transport, Freighter).

Appreciate advice on the “how to” of EVE today to perform the following
Moving something from hisec to hisec
Moving something from hisec to low sec.
Ship types and or fits would be appreciated. I assume any type of hauler is out. My guess is T3 cruiser is the way to move things around now x 4000 trips?

Thanks Big smile



Sounds like bad timing.

If you are moving anyting of value, look at the day of the week/time of day. Weekends are bad. High population times are bad. Sometimes you have to be smarter than the game. Oh, and use Blockade runners. They are immune to cargo scans.

can you still make a contract to yourself and put it in a secure can and not autopilot ?
in 0.0 you got bubbles but - not autopilot is useful ?

You dragged up a thread from February to remove a post?

Do you not have faith in your fellow ISDs to have looked at this thread back then?

Its been a strange day in GD. Generally I find the work of the ISDs to be fairly consistent, but there must be something about Easter.

Also, I'm curious to know how often you get cargoes that will fit in a freighter, but not in an orca, but still be under 1bn isk.

Under 100 m3, use a Inty

Over a 100 m3 use a TP and instant cloak from gate to gate

Over 1500 m3 use scout if your worried

Avoid Jita or other hot spot 0.5 gates where wolf packs of gankers are.

Lastly, move your really expensive stuff during the lulls. (an hour before DT or right after DT is very good usually).

Web things works okay, but usually tells the ganker scout you are moving pricy stuff...Roll
