How can I transport boosters without ccp pwning me?


Can I courier contract the boosters to my transporting alt, and ccp will leave me alone? Thanks

Why an Interceptor?

I've thought smuggling would be fun too. I'd gear up to give it a go.

Why fly a ceptor and run the risk of getting one shot by police when you can easily tank the police forever in a passive faction fit rattlesnake? Their neuts are the most damaging thing and with the rattler you don't care about it.

Your a 0.0 alliance why the hell are you making that stuff in empire? make it in 0.0 and you wont ever have to worry about concord or any of that crap....

To sell them in Jita?

Wondering about this, myself. I'm noticing there aren't nearly as many threads about this as there used to be, and my googlefu has failed me for anything more recent than 2008-ish.

Specifically, the customs agents don't seem to catch me at the warp-in gate at all, but they nail me as soon as I begin to jump through the out gate. In some cases, I've jumped through entirely and yet the session won't change, and THEN they get me.

Haven't lost any sec status, though I've been told I'm gonna be executed a few times and I lose .01 faction each time as well as isk. Out of 29 high sec jumps, I got fined 17 times. That seems like rather a high number when all the information I CAN find says, "As long as you're in an interceptor you're fine," or "I've never once been caught." I was in a fast ship, and yes I tried nanos and inertial stabs as well. So the info is out of date or there is something else I'm not picking up on somewhere.

Getting into warp doesn't seem to be the issue-- jumping through the next gate is.

Any guides or current information on this available anywhere?

Just got caught tonight carrying drugs. New experience for me. Just be in a ship that aligns fast and

F*** THA POLICE!

I really disagree with some of the suggestions here.

Don't fly an interceptor -- or any frig for that matter. One smartbombing rokh at a low-sec gate will ruin your day. Getting one-shotted at undock by a high-sec ganker will do the same.

Ideally you should use a T3 cloaky nullified ship or a blockade runner. (The nullification mod improves your align time so fit it even if you don't go to 0.0.) I favor a Loki as it has a mod that reduces your sig radius. A blockade runner has a nice big cargo bay, warps cloaked and has enough of a tank to survive a few smartbombs.

Also, instead of istabs, use nanofiber mods. You want your sig radius to be as low as possible. You want to be able to hit warp at station undock to your safe undock bookmark before gankers can target and kill you. A high sig radius makes it easier for people to lock you and hit you.

After jumping through a gate, hit the jump button and then cloak up. At the out gate, make sure you properly hit the gate and jump through. The jump button doesn't always work because you land outside the decloak range sometimes. At station undocks that are regularly camped by high-sec pirates (such as Jita) create instawarp undock bookmarks. All you have to do is undock and warp to your bookmark. No one should be able to target you and thus kill you.

I agree with this:



You should never die to customs officers, but you may lose standing and isk. Oh well.

How are low sec smartbomb camps relevant here? Once you are in low sec there is no issue. If you then lose a frig by warping on top of a battleship thats your own stupid problem, but an Interceptor is hands down the best option for moving illegal goods.

Cloaks do nothing to stop you getting scanned by customs.

You can't get 'one shotted' on undock if you use an insta, which you should be using at hubs anyway.

There is another way, told to me by someone who does it for a living. Unfortunatly I gave my word not to disclose the method employed by the pro's. I can say it is one of the best kept 'open secrets' in all of New Eden. Velocity Prime can steer you to people to contract to get them delivered to almost anywhere. Velocity is awesome player, very knowledgeable and not a con artist.
