Learn to fit Cloak & MWD on your hauler if carrying valuables. You high sec carebears need to quit crying all the time and learn how to use a bit of common sense and tactics.

People use T1 haulers in low sec all the time by taking advantage of MWD+ cloak then warp.. Meanwhile people like you die in high sec because you "expect" it to be safe for you to be stupid. It's simple quit being so stupid.

Stupid...

I read this as:
"I was followed all the way home by a suspicious man with a knife, when I finally got home he ran up and stabbed me!"

I mean what the hell... if you can't think for yourself enough to KNOW you are being followed (stalked) and yet continue traveling to exactly where he knows you're going, I mean... Just get rid of this gene pool rubbish. Think intelligently, take a random turn and go off to a safe spot. Whatever... you KNEW you were being followed and still did exactly as you (and your attacker) were thinking.

On the flip side, if you are a new player and this has made you quit... It was time for you to quit. Real EVE is a lot harder and a lot more frusterating than 500 mil.

Protection?, in EVE?, the only one is stay docked in a station i think.

Well one of my other characters happily runs billions about through jita in a BR, its almost impossible to catch a BR in hi-sec unless they jump through the gate and land on a freightor or something else stupid like that, which is meant to be the risk.

If you can't handle the risk, don't play the game. Cya we won't miss ya.

And this is why Hi-Sec needs a nerf, the people that live in it have a false sense of safety and whenever they are presented with a risky situation they have no idea what to do, get blown up, cry on the forums, and ragequit.

OP, when you realized you were getting scanned you should of tried to enter Jita from another gate or waited until the coast was clear. Sitting there saying "HERP DERP Ima go jump through anyway" is just asking to get popped.

And you were carrying 500mil of stuff in an Iteron? You really should save up for a hauler or anything that wouldn't insta pop if you plan on going to Jita.

Plus warping to zero doesn't guarantee safety because anyone at Zero will be able to ruin your day, even in hi-sec. Yet another skill that is lost among the carebears. Whenever you warp to zero jump through as soon as you land. I really doubt that you jumped through right away if they had the time to scan your cargo, relay the info to a friend (or switch windows) and be ready to pop you on the other side.

maybe he was counting his loss from earlier this month? They add up to about 500m, but the other loss was in low sec, and it was in a cloak-fit viator...

Actually now that I think about it, I just posted a video a few days ago about how to MWD/Cloak safely.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrlUMiRL1jU

It shows the benefits and downsides of doing both MWD->Cloak and Cloak->MWD. Your mileage may vary. :p

Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it. Serving highsec, lowsec and nullsec - and we do it faster and more reliably than anyone else. Ingame channel: PUSHX

I noticed that not only was the ship you chose to haul those items woefully under qualified to defend them but you did not even take the time to fit a tank on said ship.

Perhaps if you had made 2 trips in a tanked ship or put in the time to train a better more defensible craft for use in hauling high value goods this unfortunate act of Piracy would not have happened.

But you put 170mil in Eggs into one 750 thou basket so we will never know. Straight

Did you guys know that if you fill all slots with officer modules and stay in 0.6 or higher system, concord will always have time to save you from any pirates, even you would fly in a frigate.

Obvious safe space is obvious!

You don't stick your **** into a random hole without protection (hopefully)

Same goes for sticking loot through the Jita gate.

Iteron to move 500mil? You were asking for it.

I lied :o
