If you get bored, get an industrial, put in a ship (or anything) BP Copy and send it 30-40 jumps autopilot through Empire and come back later and see if you got free killrights on someone. I don't think cargo scanners can distinguish between copys and originals. Used to be anyway.

It's been said before but I just have to say it again.

You could hide a completely worthless ship fit just as well as you could hide a loot pinata behind a scanner jammer. The would be ganker's chance of getting a worthwhile haul going in blind is so so so much less than if he could scan you.


Wrong. They will simply blow you up anyway.

I would enjoy making this a pass-time. Fitting an empty bestower with with a scanner jammer and watch the tears ensue.

A bestower is really easy to gank on the cheap and you would need to keep cycling through alts to keep this going. High sec gankers do their homework. That's why they can make it profitable to be worth doing.

Of course its easy to gank, but its incredibly cheap and they will lose at least 4 times as much money once I get insurance back (still not much, but wasting their time is the biggest part of it).

And your right, eventually will learn to ignore me and I will be able to move my goods around with near impunity which is another advantage. Its a win-win scenario.
