They are looking to make hundreds of millions, if not billions in profit from ganking, keep in mind that about half of all cargo doesn't drop. If you HAVE to fly what you really can't afford to lose, have a backup plan in case things go south.Ģ0 million isk really isn't a lot, and most gankers won't even look at you for that little potential profit. Golden rule of Eve, don't fly what you can't afford to lose. The tank skills are key, followed by nav skills to get you aligning faster (specifically evasive maneuvering).Ģ0+ million? i haul much much more than that through highsec without blinking. Eventually freighters, which can tank a tonne with bulkheads and you can carry up to several billion without being too concerned about being ganked.Īlong with better ships, get better skills. Blockade runners are harder to catch because they can cloak, meanwhile Deep Space Transports (DSTs) tank really hard. Never haul through low sec until you know what you're doing, check your route isn't a hisec island and accept any hauler contracts on an alt so they don't know the name of your hauler toon.Įventually, get into ship better suited to the purpose. Don't autopilot, don't do stupid stuff on your hauler (blingy pvp losses and the like), not get killrights on you, stay in an NPC corp that can't be decced. If you fit for tank, they need more gankers to kill you before concord show up, which means more cost, more people, and more organisation.ĭon't do anything to make you a more attractive target. Eventually that become not an option, so: The most basic mitigation strategy is to do lots of small runs so your ship never has much value in it. Sometimes gankers are bored and will suicide gank an empty frigate for the lols with 50 catalysts, it just happens that way, your day to die, it’s the occasional cost of doing business. And you mark yourself for future entertainment value. Never buy permits, promises of protection or discuss or worse pay bounties, they are going to kill you regardless, and it just makes the “customer” rage more, for them that’s a win win. Never respond to a ganker, you will make your character a permanent target, and a never ending source of “entertainment” for them.
INSTA UNDOCK EVE FREE
Never haul near a trade hub when wardecced, you are simply a free killboard entry. Don’t forget, etc etc.ĭeep space transports, these can have a crazy tank, and cost them a fortune to TRY to kill you. The more they need to use, the more you can carry before it becomes worth while to gank you.Īlways assume you have been cargo scanned and fit scanned, they always see that Plex/injector.įor high value low volume cargo, a fast align ship with some tank is a good idea, (dramiel etc) don’t forget your insta bookmarks or you’ll get popped on station.īlockade runners pop easy, but can still be fit so it costs them to shoot you, they have a cloak for a reason, use it.

Set up instadock and Insta undock bookmarks, for the trade hubs and stations you regularly visit and use them, always. Keep the cargo value less than twice the cost of what is needed to kill you. they take some time to copy but save days of travel time.There is no guarantee of safety when hauling, as you have said, the best way is to get inside the gankers head, and demotivate them. Or look at the other insta bm thread in the exploits section and pick up some bm's off the market. Stations are even easier depending on the station as they have a large radius anyways not like the 5km radius the gates have.įor a station just undock and place a bm as soon as you can, this should let you instantly dock when you jump to it. You can create instas for anything this way, roid belts can get tricky. If you set the bm at 15km you will build a 20km bm. Because the gate itself has allmost a 5km radius you need to factor for this. The goal is to overshoot the gate by 15 kms. when you pop out of warp hit max speed, you might bump the gate, this is fine as you will go back to your prev direction after you bump, keep going 10 km past the gate and set a bm, you should have the set bm window open and waiting to click ok.

Jump to the gate you want to set an insta for, bring a mwd and an inty or a frig for this.
