Preamble & TLDR

1. in HS and some LS, cargo under 1790.79 m3 can be moved in a Sunesis fitlink should highlight the fit for you
   
   if not, it's toward the bottom of the page:
   
   "Max Cargo Instawarp Sunesis (1790.79 m3)" designed to instawarp. instawarp ships bypass the majority of tacklers
   • some LS systems can be temporarily corrupted, and interdiction may then work in them. never haul through corrupted LS in a non-nullifiable ship
2. up to ~13,000 m3 can be moved through any space in a Blockade Runner assuming you always cloak on the first tick after decloaking and nullify as appropriate
   • don't linger uncloaked anywhere in a BR. they cannot be cargo scanned so they're immediate high-priority gank targets in HS and are juicy treats elsewhere
3. tiny cargo can be moved through any space in an instawarping Fleet Interceptor. outside HS, always nullify appropriately and warp to perches instead of gate-to-gate

Scouts, Cloaks and Interdiction Nullifiers

• a covops/ceptor alt is very easy to make, equip and maintain. this isn't an ISK-making guide. if you're trusting somebody else as a scout, be sure they're competent

• here's my small dedicated guide for nullifiers. learn how they work and practice with them before moving valuables through interdictable space

Warnings

• crafty cloaked campers delay bubble. they wait until you decloak then they decloak & bubble you
  • if you initiate warp without a nullifier active and your ship gets bubbled before getting up to speed, the warp procedure is terminated & your ship slows to a halt

• if you go directly between, you can be forced to jump. oops! your jump cloak on the other side will expire before your nulli cooldown ends and you will die

• mid-warp smartbombers (8 minute explanation, 36 minute rambly one) and gate-grid smartbombers operate in all space, including HS
• if you must shuttle valuables around, never warp gate-to-gate outside HS! use perches! inside HS, perch if you suspect smartbombing (e.g. at common ganking spots)
• Leopards are bad to use in any situation. they're so valuable that they're always gank targets in all space. on average, every day sees several Leopards smartbombed in HS

• if docking in LS/NS or jumping between LS/NS and HS, always warp first to a perch and then to the gate/station (note: this is not a Freighter/JF guide)
  • if you're non-covert, off-grid perches are less conspicuous. if you notice a Lancer on dscan at the gate, you can cloak & align for ~25 s then decloak and warp to the gate
    • lances take 15 seconds to spool up then they fire for a further 15. lancers time the lance to hit the area you would have landed at if you'd warped gate-to-gate
      • if you're worried: no, they can't just fire when they see you appear on-grid having warped from your off-grid perch to the gate
        • the slowest haulers warp at 3.5 AU/s, so you'll be on grid for ~9 seconds at most. you'll scoot on through. you need to go gate-to-gate for them to snag you
  • if you're covert, perching is still smart, but on-grid works. lancers kill cloaked Blockade Runners by timing their lances. cloaks don't grant immunity to AoE weapons!
    • if you land at a perch and notice an active lance (it's hard to miss), you can just wait a bit then scoot on by (the lance will fire for 15 s)
• the vast majority of lancer-on-hauler JS violence is goofy killmail padding, not actual combat, but the latter does very rarely occur. just throwing it in to be comprehensive

• this is only really an issue for very valuable stuff, but everything you buy which doesn't come from an NPC came from a person who will be notified of your purchase
  • after you buy, they can easily locate you with an agent and kill you. then they'll have your ISK, your killmail, and maybe a chance at reclaiming whatever you bought
• if you're in a corp/alliance, moving lots of ISK around newly-created characters looks suspicious. either have your ESIs linked or talk to leadership ahead of time

• this (very obvious) advice is offered because of a constant stream of sob stories like this: "I'm quitting EVE cause I died moving my entire net worth through Uedama!"

Traversing J-SpaceAKA JS. space accessible only via wormholes

some goobers call this WS or W-Space for
Wormhole Space but that's a silly use of language or Pochven

1. two different procedures depending on whether your hauler has a covert or non-covert cloak:
   • covert:
     1. get your scout on the outhole/outgate grid 800 or more km away from it. on-grid probes make this quick & easy, but recall them ASAP (others can BM them too)
        • 150 km is the minimum warp distance, but there's no good reason to be overly close. why 800+ km away, you ask?
          click to show/hide rationale

          • bubbles can catch or drag up to 500 km away from their location. drags/stops are relatively rare in JS, but
            • why risk it
            • probing a BM is extremely fast
            • you can warp at up to 100 km from things. if you keep your perches 800 or more away, you've always got at least 200 km of non-bubbled aligning runway
              • worst case scenario: 800 km (scout distance) - 100 (worst possible alignment) - 500 (nearest viable stop bubble)
            • habitually creating & using perches will serve you well in more than just hauling situations
        • if you wanna be super-cautious, use a probe that's as out-of-line with other warpables as possible
     2. activate nulli on the hauler then warp it at range to the scout and cloak immediately after decloaking
   • non-covert:
     1. two minutes in advance of your hauler, use your scout to make a safe BM in every system of your chain in dscan range of the outhole (≤ 14.3 AU) but not on its grid
        • 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!
     2. cloak trick with nullification and warp at range to the safe BM
     3. get your scout on the grid of the hauler's outhole/outgate
2. wait out the nullifier's cooldown cloaked while aligning to the hole, or to its BM if you're offgrid
3. if you see with your eyeballs that the hole is 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. repeat steps 1-4 until you reach K-SpaceAKA KS. any 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 then check whichever sections below are appropriate
   • yes, you use the nullifier prior to every warp off an inhole. there is always a cloaked dictor on every hole!

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 players are happy to probe & kill AFKaway from keyboarders there
2. use a ship with a Jump Drive to jump there. if you're going to HS, jump next-door to it then swap to an appropriate hauling ship from the section below
   • the cheapest option is jumping a BLOPs to an industrial cyno lit by a Venture, but the cyno can be warped to by anyone so this 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 don't appear on the overviews of everyone in the system like normal & industrial cynos, but ships lighting them can be combat probed and warped to
         • here's how to make ships harder to combat probe if you care to
       • it's even less conspicuous to light the covert cyno at a deepsafe which is off d-scan (tutorial on how to make deep safes at that link)
3. if you're in a corp/alliance, people may run bridging services with Titans, Rorquals, Carriers and/or Black Ops. they'll be cheap as chips
   • use your noggin, though. not everyone is trustworthy and competent, especially in enormous alliances
4. spend some time scanning to find a wormhole route

• scouts, unaligned deep-tether docking BMs, and/or nullifiers are advisable if warping between structures, skyhooks, POCOs, etc. smart habits = fewer unnecessary deaths

Traversing purely High Security space

1. avoid ganking systems/pipes altogether if you have time to scan for a HS→HS wormhole
   • A641s are relatively rare, but if you're spending lots of time in HS anyway, you may just happen across them
   • if you can, move when EVE's playercount is lowest, which is ~04:30-07:30 EVE time Monday-Thursday
2. if possible, ensure gankers won't be salivating over you by having ~1,000 or more EHP per every ~3 million ISK worth of stuff fitted & in any hold
   • note: all Haulers are at a somewhat 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. if you disregarded the above EHP-to-ISK ratio, but don't bank on this assumption
     • gankers disregard their profit calculus for:
       • plastic wraps which are the result of a courier contract within a courier contract, AKA a double-wrap
         • gankers 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
3. move in the smallest possible hull from this list that can carry your cargo and use insta-undock and instadock bookmarks
   1. 0 to 950 m3 - a subsecond Jackdaw like the one at the bottom of this page
      • you can get a subsecond Yak to 1053.4 m3 with QZGA, but drug-dependant fits add an extra element of risk (what if you forget to take it or it runs out mid-move)
   2. 950 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 to 62,500 - any Deep Space Transport fit to cloak trick with the rest of the fit in tank (the Torrent has a 90,000 m3 Infrastructure Hold)
      • I don't bother with Warp Core Stabilizers for HS since gankers use enough points of tackle to make them irrelevant
      • do not compromise tank for cargo expanders on DSTs. hyperspatial instead of tank rigs may be situationally appropriate, but they alter your EHP-per-ISK calculus
   4. over 62,500 - several DSTs or perhaps Freighters/JFs as the situation dictates (the Avalanche has a 3,000,000 m3 Infrastructure Hold)
      • get a mentor if using Freighters/JFs. if you don't know what implants, ganking pipes, webber alts, or e-cynos are, learn or you will soon be appearing on zKillboard

Closing Remarks

• you won't find corner-cutting suggestions here because I wouldn't cut any
  • if I care enough about something to want the satisfaction of schlepping it around myself, I do my damnedest to ensure success
    • for everything else, there's Mastercard proper collateral + the services linked up top
