How to move stuff in EVE Online

• never move PLEX, Skill Injectors/Extractors, or and SKIN licenses! they can be remotely activated. find a buyer in a trade Discord or forum and sell them via contracts
  • beware scammers & con artists. price checkers like Janice exist, but all are vulnerable to manipulation, especially for rare items and those with low trade volumes
• if it's anything else, consider paying your corp/alliance pros if you have those. if you don't, use GHSOL or PushX or RedFrog and always use appropriate collateral!
  • alternatively, buybacks pay 60-90% of Jita buy for most items. I've used touble man's since HSBB died and he's never done me wrong

Alts and Cloaks

• Covert Ops are great cheap scouts. Fleet Interceptors also work but I prefer CovOps because their cloaks minimize their visibility. I offer fits for all 8

• here's a quick video tutorial on how to use pyfa to determine if a fit can do the trick. it can if its cloaked speed after 10 full seconds of MWDing ≥ 75% of its base speed
  • the Occator fit in the clip is only just able to do it; an extra Inertial Stabilizer would give some insurance against poor execution
• WARNING: no cloak of any type is immune from gatecampers who place dozens or hundreds of objects in a sphere around a gate to prevent cloaking
  • this is a cheesy tactic from my PoV but it is not against the ToS unless a GM decides the number of objects was high enough that it seemed to be lag-inducing
    • instead of debauching GMs with hateful rants about your lost goodies, just use a scout or pay somebody else to assume the risk of hauling your stuff

Preamble & 2 Rules

• note that moving lots of ISK around newly-created characters looks suspicious to corp/alliance leaders. either have your ESIs linked or talk to them ahead of time
• why do this? because everything you buy which doesn't come from an NPC came from another human being, and they'll necessarily be notified of your purchase
  • that other person is possibly a PvPer, and they're definitely playing in the same single-shard universe as you, and you're not immune from PvP if you're undocked
    • if you can't fathom the risk here, read about Locator agents and use your imagination. if you can't see the problem, close this guide and do something else

1. if docking in LS/NS or jumping between LS/NS and HS, always warp first to an off-grid perch and then to the gate/station
   • if you're non-covert, just pay attention as you land at your perch. if a cyno appears on your outgate or you notice a Lancer on dscan, dock up and leave some other time
   • if you're covert, you still need to use use an on-grid perch to juke lancers
     • lancers regularly kill Blockade Runners who cloak properly simply by timing their lance and firing it at the landing zone of the gate. cloaks don't grant lance immunity!
       • check that "regularly used" link just above if you're doubtful; all the BRs caught are a few KM from a stargate

Traversing J-Spaceany system accessible only via wormholes or Pochven

1. two procedures depending on whether your hauler has a covert or non-covert cloak:
   • covert:
     1. get your scout alt ~2,000-500 km from the outhole or the triangle gate. on-grid probes make this quick & easy, but be fast (others can BM them too)
        • 150 km is the minimum warp distance, but with a saved on-grid probe formation, there's no good reason to be overly close
          • if you wanna be super-cautious, pick a probe that's as out-of-line with other objects in the system as possible (check on the Solar System Map)
     2. activate nulli on the hauler then warp it at range to the alt and cloak immediately after decloaking
   • non-covert:
     1. two minutes in advance of your hauler, use your alt to make a safe BM in every system of your chain. make it in dscan range of the hole
        • you can't just make them on the fly in front of your hauler because there's a two-minute delay between a BM's creation and its Shared Folder availability
        • you use BMs because you can't reliably manually align to off-grid alts, e.g. in small systems or when both holes are close together. however, you can align to BMs!
          • you can align to the outhole planet if it's far from the inhole planet and in a non-tiny system, but don't risk guesstimating aligns otherwise
     2. move the scout to your hauler's outhole and cloak it in jump range (2,501-5,000 m)
     3. align your hauler to the safe BM & initiate the cloak trick procedure
     4. wait a few seconds, activate the nulli while cloaked, then warp at range to the safe BM on decloak
2. wait out the nullifier's cooldown cloaked while aligning to the hole, or to its BM if you're offgrid
3. if the hole's clear, jump the scout through, then jump the hauler through
   • if you're off-grid in your hauler & want to re-check the BM grid before warping, change the dscan angle to 5° then hold the dscan shortcut and left-click the hole BM
4. go back to step 1 and repeat on every hole until you reach K-Spaceany High Security, Low Security, or Null Security system, i.e. any system connected to the main startgate network, i.e. not Pochven or J-Space
   • yes, you use the nullifier prior to every warp off an inhole. repeart after me: "There is always a cloaked dictor on every hole!"
   • note: non-covert cloaks have a 30-second reactivation delay which is not reset by jumping holes. don't skedaddle off an inhole unless you can cloak!

Traversing Low or Null Security space

1. if moving to Jita, use a covert or cloak-trick-capable ship with a nullifier along with a scanning alt to enter Pochven with a filament then scan yourself out
   • use JS-style "nullifier-everywhere" caution and don't hang around in space. there are decloak mechanisms in Pochven and lots of players happy to probe & kill AFKers
2. use a ship with a Jump Drive to jump there. if you're going to HS, jump nextdoor to it
   • the cheapest option is jumping a BLOPs to an industrial cyno lit by a Venture, but the cyno can be warped to by anyone and thus likely results in the loss of the Venture
     • it's less conspicuous but pricier to jump to a covert cyno lit by a Covert Ops, a Stealth Bomber or a Force Recon. the first 2 are vulnerable for 60 s, FRs for only 30
       • covert cynos can be combat probed, but they don't appear on the overview of everyone in the system like normal and industrial cynos
       • it's even less conspicuous to light the covert cyno at a deep safe which is off d-scan (tutorial on how to make deep safes at that link)
3. spend some time scanning to find a wormhole route

Traversing purely High Security space

1. if possible, split up the valuables such that
   • it wouldn't be ruinous for you if you lost any given load
   • gankers won't be salivating over you, i.e. you have ~1,000 or more EHP for every ~3 million ISK worth of stuff
     • note: all Haulers are at a generally increased risk of being ganked compared to other ship classes just because they're Haulers
       • haulers are usually only ganked if they stand to be profitable, i.e. you disregarded the above EHP-to-ISK ratio, but don't bank on this
       • gankers disregard their profit calculus for:
         • plastic wraps which are the result of a courier contract within a courier contract, aka a double-wrap
           • they can't see the contents of the plastic wrap with a cargo scanner, so if they see one, they'll gank whatever's carrying it if they can
         • Blockade Runners are always gank targets because they cannot be cargo scanned (evidence of this fact)
         • Bowheads are also always gank targets if they're carrying any hull because gankers can see the hulls carried but not what those hulls contain or have fitted
2. move it in the smallest possible hull from this list that can carry it and use instadock and insta-undock bookmarks
   1. 0 to 950 m3 - a subsecond Jackdaw like the one at the bottom of this page
   2. 950 m3 to 13,430 - this specific Viator fit, flown as I suggest. any other Blockade Runner will do if competently fit & piloted
      • the Deluge may be a better choice if you're moving stuff which can go into its 45,000 m3 Infrastructure Hold
      • always cloak on the first tick after you warp off a gate or you'll find out about ganking priorities really soon
   3. 13,430 m3 to 62,500 - any Deep Space Transport fit to cloak trick with the rest of the fit dedicated to tank (the Torrent has a 90,000 m3 Infrastructure Hold)
      • some people recommend Warp Core Stabilizers, some don't.
      • you do not compromise tank for cargo expanders on DSTs unless you were repeatedly dropped on your head in your infancy, in which case, do as you like
   4. over 62,500 m3 - a Jump Freighter with e-cyno on standby or a regular freighter with webber alt (the Avalanche has a 3,000,000 m3 Infrastructure Hold)
      • there are various in-depth guides on freighter use just a search away; they're out of scope for this page
      • if you don't know what implants, ganking pipes, webber alts, or e-cynos are, learn or you will soon be appearing on zKillboard and enriching some strangers

Hubris and its Malcontents

• pull your lip over your head & swallow
