There are situations where a small fast craft is better than a big lumbering beast. These include moving blueprints or other small volume, high value cargo. The best options at this size are nullified travel-fit Interceptors (so-called [[Travel_fits#Fleet_Interceptors|travel-ceptors]]), [[Frigates#Covert Ops|Covert Ops Frigates]], and (for highsec/lowsec) the Hecate with a [[Travel_fits#Hecate|sub-1s align time fit]]. These can provide near-perfect safety if handled correctly. | There are situations where a small fast craft is better than a big lumbering beast.

As an alternative, a shuttle (all areas of space) or a fast T1 frigate (in highsec and lowsec) will work as well, but they are more susceptible to smartbombing gatecamps. Tactical bookmarks on-grid with gates ("perches") and insta-dock/insta-undock bookmarks can mitigate this risk considerably.

The {{sh|Sunesis}} is a special edition destroyer that is given out to all Omega pilots once a year. Various fitting options exist, with a sub-2s fit able to hold 1200 {{m3}} without any expensive faction modules. It is an easily accessible and cheap option for highsec and lowsec and can be used by Alpha players as well. | The {{sh|Sunesis}} is a special edition destroyer that is given out to all Omega pilots once a year.

A good bookmark will get you off the station undock and out to a safe-spot before anyone has time to lock you, scan you and gank you. They are a must-have for Blockade Runners and rather important for the slower-aligning ships like Orcas and Freighters. | A good bookmark will get you off the station undock and out to a safe-spot before anyone has time to lock you, scan you and gank you.

Another type of scam contract that appears less suspicious at a first glance involves a valuable package and overpriced collateral. These contracts are designed to make the hauler a tempting target for random gankers so the contractor can cash in on the overpriced collateral. They can be spotted by a contract history of sending the same package (same size) back and forth between two systems along a dangerous route. It could for example be between Amarr and Dodixie, which will take the hauler through both Niarja and Uedama which are both infamous for the amount of high-sec ganking going on there.
