I skipped through this thread so im just gunna assume no one said this already but you can just get a corpy/alt to web ur freighter into warp in the low sec system... takes like 5 seconds to web it into warp...

much faster and safer

Pardesi, just a comment on how web-slinging or fling shotting works.
Lets say your top speed is 80 m/sec. You got to get to 60 m/sec before you can warp. A basic web drops you top speed in half to 40 m/sec and cuts your acceleration in half, bu it also drops the speed needed to warp in half to 30 m/sec. With the lower acceleration it seems like it would take the same amount of time to reach the lower warp speed. What you do is:

Select your destination and hit warp.
Wait for the speed to get to 30 m/sec
Then web the freighter, and as its warp speed just got dropped to 30 m/sec, it warps.

If you use two high quality webs that speed is alot lower, around 12 m/sec. Usually by the time the alt has targeted the freighter and gotten in range, the freighter is at speed.

Oh and its cubic meters, not square meters for cargo capacity. Many just say " M3 " (emm three).

Note that many of the suggestions here, scouting the system, using fling-shotting, assume you got two accounts so you can run two pilots at once. If you cannot, you may want to look for a corporation and get friends.

The posters who wrote genuinely helpful stuff, I have copy/pasted all that into a file which I can one day peruse at my leisure and add to my research. One day...when I have the necessary skills, time, patience and ISK required.

Big o/ for the decent posters.


I second this notion. Big props to those who actually tried to help/educate the OP without being your usual (and cliche) Eve asshat.

It took days to move the pieces. I have another account with a character I refer to as my all-pilot. My goal for her was to literally train her to fly everything. That's not realistic, but she can fly more than any of my other characters. Once she was trained to fly a transport, I bought a Viator. She had already trained for cloaking a long time ago.

I move the pieces from Chemilip to Raravath one by one, for the most part. Depending on the local activity, I sometimes used my Iteron V which could haul 3 at a time. One 90-piece Charon load helped a lot, but it was very fear-inspiring. The situation in Raravath changes quickly. Upon leaving the Amarr station there, the Charon took over a minute to get to warp. My all-pilot has maxxed out the Caldari freighter skills, so that's how slow that was...

Current plans call for buying a Rhea. My cyno-alt is training to do her bit, and I am halfway there financially. It will take the all-pilot about 22 days to reach Jump Drive Operation V, but no biggie. I have to earn a lot more iskies.

I think I will become a capital ship builder. Ravens are paying very well in Jita right now, but I'd like to diversify.

OP is EVE. OP is what most carebears don't dare to be. This thread should be part of the tutorials.

^^^^ This. OP overcame ignorance and developed into a real industrial.
