EVE General Discussion

I never knew this, Thanks for telling me. You've saved me a lot of time with my bookmarks scheme. I may stick to the Iteron V scenario. I can never find this system empty. There are always people there, red and with bounties on them.

Pick a different system.

That is only IF they get a shot in before you manage to hit Ctrl-Q, if not, it's 30s.



The return needed to make it worth suicide ganking a freighter in hisec is x, the return needed to make it worth killing a neut freighter that shows up on your lowsec gate? Hey, lets shoot the freighter! Holy crap, that's really a freighter! Quick, kill it before it makes it back to gate! Get BUMPS!

+1

Don't mess around trying to jump this stuff yourself into lowsec, unless you are prepared to lose everything. Don't compound your first mistake by getting impatient now.

Bite the bullet, and contract it to Black Frog.

Well, what you can do (And it's pretty simple) is to park a tanked Huginn for exemple, on the highsec gate.

Now get your freighter in scanning range of the lowsec gate in the highsec system.

Now, check what's in local in the lowsec system.

If there is like 5/6 guys, go check where those guys are. Dock in every station, so you can check who's docked and who's not.

When you feel comfortable, check again the Dscan on the lowsec gate in highsec, just so you can check if someone's going to follow you. Then warp to the gate with your freighter.

Jump.

Web your freighter with your Huginn when your freighter reach 20% speed. The freighter should instawarp, if done properly. Try it in highsec first (With your toons both in the same corp, or else Concord will kill you etc).

And don't forget to make an "undock bookmark" on the station you're going to dock in. I mean, when you warp to a station, sometimes you end up at 3km away from docking range. Which isn't that bad when you're flying a Vagabond. It's much worse when you're flying a slow Caldari Freighter (Notice how I said slow three times ?).

So dock in this station with your pod or a random ship. Then go to Peoples & Places, Save Location, call it "Undock".

Then do what I told you to do, but warp to the bookmark "Undock" instead of warping to the station.

And it should be fine.

I mean, that's how I would do it, and I'm pretty sure it will work.

Also, the sentries on the gates, they will shoot at everything that did an aggression in the system. So don't fear cloacky bombers or regular cloacky ships. No cloacky ship (Except Cloacky T3s) will attack you on a gate. A bomber will instapop, any frigate will instapop, most recons will most likely die within seconds (Especially Falcons)...

So, heh. Good luck ;)

I would suggest another system then. There are two types of LS systems. Graveyards (you die) Ghost towns (nobody around)

Once you get comfortable (which doesn't take long) LS becomes an annoyance not a deal breaker. B-runners are your best best or cloaky scouts. IMO. B-runners are great becuase unless you're incredibly stupid you can move with impunity in LS in one. Given what you're trying to do just set one of your Alts up in a cloaked Frig 100km off gate to watch it.

But, find another systems. If the red hats are there, you don't want to be.

Definately the friend in a rapier suggestion works great. There are plenty of dead-end lowsec pockets people build capitals in that work great. Just avoid places like Jan, Tama, OldManStar, and Aunenen (Though nothing is off limitis if you have a Jump freighter and the station isn't a kick-out)

If you're successful and make some good proffit and want to do it again, I suggest mineral compression and a Jump Freighter. You can que up enough minerals to build 4+ dreads in a single compressed load.

Things that work well to compress are T1 Lg guns (Tachions, 425 rails) and Various Citadel torps to get the mineral ratio right for your build.

Hope that helps, I did supercapital building for a while on an alt, and intially got into it doing regular cap building in lowsec.

Its a vicious cycle, but ultimatley a fun one.

I am assuming this is a troll, OP sounds so dumb (dumber sounding the question while the more skilled they are..aka being able to build the ship but not where it can be built just sets the Bat Phone and Spidey Senses off) as to not relize where a ship can be manufactured before building it while manufacturing the parts, and then stresses how long it takes to get into warp, and needs to make a post on asking how to go about building a cap ship.

But I will bite the hook.

FFS, Google is the wise sage that lives on the mountain and you don't need to bring a gift nor have to learn enlightenment by starving yourself to death. 3 words minimum (probably 1 with in a decade, damn Skynet ) and you have a pretty narrow search without needing more then 5 if necessary and if the results are crap...redefine it.

As for dealing with the issue...sell off the parts. Be a cap part builder, not a cap ship builder. Lowsec is a shithole and should be removed from game on to its own server (I know, I know...harsh sounding but I just hate dealing with the hassle of lowsec). It isn't worth the hassle of dealing with other players crapping on your game, to build 1 cap ship, which will take time to sell, by yourself with 3 accounts. If you were part of an alliance, you can split the cost/work of the ship instead of assuming the entire loss should you get popped transporting the parts where as its easier to build the parts of the ship which can fit into a smaller vessel and moved closed to highsec where someone else can deal with transporting it out for final construction.

your best bet is to use both your alts. have one with the webbing ship waiting for you in the low sec system to see whose in. have the other in the high sec system to see who MIGHT be jumping to your gate. have a safe spot for the webbing ship to warp to to wait out the timer.

its not as bad as it may seem, its always good to be careful but not everyone in low sec is just out to blow you up.

when i first started eve years ago, i was new and stupid and made 23 low sec jumps with no scout or escort, in an obelisk. ran into serveral people on the gates along the way. obviously, now i know better.

take the webbing/scout advice and just do it. if not, you will just be the kid who psycs himself up so much before the rollar coaster and never gets on.

Thank again for all the good advice. I'd like to answer each post separately if I could.

To the one who thought I was too stupid to be real, no, I am just that dumb. I should probably not tell you some of the other worse things I've done. If you notice, i don't post here too often considering how long I've been playing. I should start coming here for advice and reading more on matters of concern.

To the one who said I believed hi-sec was safe, I do not. I know it is safer for me, but not safe. I sell most of my ships in Jita, and see what goes on there. I also shop at Amarr Royal Family station and that gets rowdy too. I never auto-pilot when carrying valuables, such as expensive blue prints. I current have an implant sitting in Amarr, while I wait for my Orca pilot to train cybernetcis level V. I won't carry a half billion chip with me.

So, I take necesary precautions in safe space.

I know mentioning this in a forum was not too bright, so I do plan to wait until people forget about this. I may still smuggle parts 3 at a time in my Iteron V.

All in all, it's been fun both producing those parts and now trying to get them to a lo-sec factory. I got startred when someone from a very large corp offered to buy all the capital ships I couild build. That's what gave me the idea. I turned them down because they wanted to low-ball me and there is plenty of market for these ships. But it piqued my interest and so I bought a Moros BPC (because it was the cheapest) and got started.

Ok, thanks again for the advice. I will do some more experiementing and RESEARCH. yes, Google is definately smarter than me.
