Science & Industry

Gankigngof industrial ships (or any ship) is almost always about how much value could be picked up from the wreck. If you are only carrying Trit, it is unlikely anyone will bother ganking you for profit (maybe for tears, but not profit). I would personally make the trip, but I have been known to take a freighter 30J to pick up misc items.

Generally, T1 industrials full of highsec minerals are safe in highsec. The weight-value ratio is low, and it's just not worth blowing up.
Although if you can get hold of a frigate-size afterburner, stick that on to reduce align time. Activate it as you start to align, wait a second, then deactivate it. By the time it cuts out, you'll be going close to your normal max speed. And as the AB cuts out, your max speed cuts to normal again. Ideally, that should warp you out instantly.

Right now, you're probably best off selling the trit on a sell order. Tritanium is up, and you likely don't have the skills to be competitive in manufacturing yet.
Plus, you'd need more minerals than just trit.

Another idea is to move your mining operations completely to a lower-sec system, 0.5-.07. You get better ores there, that refine into rarer, more expensive minerals.

If its all highsec then 860k m³ is the limit

sheese, to those who say dont travel, dont pay attention to them.

Do what YOU think is your best interest.

If you have to travel 11 jumps, thats cakewalk. Market queues are regional, remember.

check out www.eve-central.com and maybe you will have to travel 30 jumps in order to make even more money.

Get out there and see more system, travel around. Have fun while u are at it, remember this game isnt always about isk/hour.

If you want to be strictly pragmatic:
1. figure out how long it takes you to go 11 jumps (and back);
2. figure out how much you could mine during that time;
3. Compare the value of the mined ore/minerals vs the value of the better prices; then
4. decide what to do with it.

Of course, I would afk haul on autopilot personally. The risk is just not there for that kind of cargo. In that case, you wouldn't be mining (you would be eating lunch, mowing the yard, whatever) and the value of step 2 would be zero.

Now, in the larger sense, the Wreathe is probably the most agile hauler out there, so for afk hauling you are doing pretty good :). OTOH, the Minmatar industrials are very easy on the skill training. A possible alternative:
1. Do a market search on the cheapest Hoarder you can find;
2. Do a market search on the best trit prices at or near the location of the Hoarder;
3. Set waypoints to location in step 2 and then step 1;
4. Set training queue to Minmatar industrial level 2 (if you aren't there already);
5. AutoP to sell trit, autoP to buy Hoarder
6. Package Wreathe and put into your Hoarder;
7. Fly back to noob system and put Wreathe up for sale.

Now you have a bigger ship, which makes longer hauling trips more economical (albeit a bit slower). The Mammoth at Minnie Industrial Lvl 4 is an excellent hauler for the amount of time you put into it.

Edit: Oh, and as kind of mentioned above....while hauling stuff around you tend to learn an area. I don't know if you are in Minnie space or not, but the market hubs are Rens and Hek, which are in two different regions. Eystur/Hek is a good system for straddling the two regions to check prices by jumping back and forth. Also, that Hek/Eystur/PAtor area generally has decent prices off and on due to the large amount of manufacturing in the area.

1) What are your refine rates? If you don't have your refining skills up - then you're losing a lot of the value from the ore by refining it. If you really want to know - when you go to do the refine - look in the upper right hand corner and see what your refine rates are. You can just cancel out if they're bad and go get your refining skills up. Don't use stations with a 30% base refine rate. Building your standings with the NPC Corporation owning the station can further reduce what you lose. Do some math and you can see how much you're getting in Trit, then compare that to how much you would get for the raw ore. The down side of hauling raw ore is - it takes up a lot more room than minerals.

2) If you're not getting good refine rates yet - look around locally for a good price on some raw ore - then fly over to that system and mine it and sell it there. No hauling involved - except from your mining site. If you're in a quiet system you might get away with jet can mining but you can also run missions and mine mission space. If you're in a quiet system you stand much less chance of being scanned down in mission space.

3) Before you go hauling a tiny bit of cargo 11 jumps there - AND BACK - get yourself in a Mammoth. Cargo Hold Expanders in the Lows - II's if you can. Fill the mids with one Invulnerability Module and the rest Shield Extenders. Remember to turn on the Inv. Field module each time you jump. What you're tanking for - is to be more trouble than you're worth. If you've got a good enough tank - they have to use more fire power to blow you up before (in Hi Sec) Concord blows them up - and it's not worth it - especially since they stopped getting insurance pay outs if they get popped by Concord.
