dude, blockade runners. if you see someone landing on grid, just align and cloak. then taunt in local to improve blueball saturation.



Too close to the POCO to cloak in time. Doesn't work.

Actually if you are between 2000 and 2500 from the office you can cloak and still be close enough to open it.
I warp in cloaked at 5-10,000 and then set keep at range of 2200m. it takes a little longer but is fairly safe.

All of this is great information! Looks like I will take the suggestion from several of you and run 4 planets in lowsec and then have a manufacturing planet for some of the P3 components I was hoping to create (Robotics was actually one of them).

Thank you all!



Just make sure that Factory Planet is in High Sec as sometimes you will have to loiter at its POCO for awhile switching stuff out. Low Sec is for the grab and run.


So all your production is in low, which you scoop and run then make the finished products in high?

If someone catches BR while loading at poco, he had to be waiting there.
It takes like 5sec to land, align to safe, unload/load and warp away.

Yes, my factory planets are in a neighboring hi-sec system. I also scout out my low-sec system with my main in his covops ship and pick an off-hours time to go and scoop up all my finished p2 products.

just happened upon this thread, I haven't really ever looked at the forums since playing eve...
I was looking at training upto a blockade runner anyway, so moving my PI into low sec makes sense. I don't what the big issue is with loading/unloading near the POCO
you can easily warp into anywhere in the system cloak->do all PI management - (this includes moving mats to the POCO)

then you can just warp to the POCO and collect everything - or drop it off and warp awak
you only ever need to be within the 2500m range of the POCO for as long as it takes to do 3-4 mouse clicks!
keep your ship cargo window open, warp to poco, drag products from 1 window to another, warp away

or am I missing something major here?
