I've bought PLEX in one region and moved them to another to sell at a profit.

I moved them in a tanked-up battleship inside a contract wrapper. Running around with a PLEX in a noob ship is just insanity.

Please do it more often!

OK here goes short and sweet...

the kill mail

the PLEX in question was earned through the buddy program and had been in my possession for under 3 hours
I would like to point out that if the PLEX was dropped it would not be an issue. If I had bought the PLEX I would be very sad but still not an issue. If I had bought the PLEX with ISK. I would be fine although aggravated. Specifically the reason I am upset is that I turned someone on to the game and NO ONE gets the reward.

I've moved PLEX. I don't do it in some tanked crap or a newbie ship.

Get the fastest aligning/warping ship you can fly. Slap some inertia stabs/warp core stabs on it.

Don't enter Jita via Perimeter, don't fly on AP, don't go through Rancer or Amamake as they're the likely smartbomb spots.

If you want to be totally safe but a bit slower then put them in a cloaky ship - covops.

The OP obviously flew on AP and got ganked. Happens.

Since a PLEX can be redeemed from anywhere in EVE, why in the hell would you undock with it in your hold?

To transport it to another location, possibly to sell for a higher price.



Except that you don't need to. Right click, last option -> return to redeem items. Then fly whatever ship you want to the destination you want your plex to be in and then redeem it there.

Flying anywhere with a plex is a guarantee to be blown up ... unless you're in an overtanked orca with like 300k ehp and with the plex in your corp cargo bay.



This doesn't actually work, if it did. I tested it myself just last week and items sent back to the redeem system can only be redeemed at the original station.

If you want to sell it elsewhere simply don't redeem it at all until you get there.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

thats why....
you GO TO Jita (or wherever youre gonna sell it) THEN when YOU ARE IN THE STATION
Redeem it and sell it.

There would be a whole lot less qq threads about plex if they made it so you CANT put it in a ship just to save you from your own Intercranial infarctions

thats why you do your research BEFORE you redeem it
Find the correct place to sell it THEN redeem it. no the other way around.

Its up to YOU to not have to move it once you get it. That just boggles the mind.

QQ someone killed my PLEX cause I didnt do good enough research and redeemed it at the wrong station fix it CCP

PLEX is nothing special, just a small item worth 500 mil ISK like many other items. I see no reason to allways repeat "never undock with PLEX".

You can transport it if you really want, but you can also outsource any risk by just using courier contracts.

e.g. Push Industries would move that PLEX anywhere in highsec for just 300,000 ISK per jump.

(This advice is for case where you already have PLEX ingame. If it is still in redeeming system, then of course best thing to do is to travel to right station first and only then to redeem it.)

lol yes, that event alone pretty much made everyone's day (except for the guy who got blown up I suspect)
It also proved the decision to allow plexes to be transported was an excellent one, bringing a few extra giggles a week.

One of the 5 Laws of Learning is the Law of Intensity.

The more intense (read painful) the experience is, the better it is retained.

I am pretty sure you will never forget this loss.

And thanks to your post on the fourms... neither will we... Cool

Imo if youre stupid enough to put plex into a ship thats not tanked well enough then find the need to qq to the GMs (or worse here) you should be banned.

are the plexes award fromfrom the redeem item page? if so, i beleive you best course of action next time would be to fly to a safe spot with out any significant high value item, and then redeem, remember redemption of items places said items in whatever hanger you rre docked in.

do believe you HAVE to be in a station TO redeem them. Hence the dumb move of even HAVING to move them -.-
