This means that if your ship has 8k EHP, you should not be carrying more then 24M ISK worth of cargo in it per trip. The more that you exceed that ISK/EHP value, the more likely you are to get ganked. However, you can often get away with 4M-6M ISK per 1k EHP if you know your route, do not auto-pilot, and know the key risk factors. | This means that if your ship has 8k EHP, you should not be carrying more then 24M ISK worth of cargo in it per trip.

For freighters, which have about 180-200k EHP, the benchmark value is 1B ISK (one billion). As your cargo value exceeds 1B ISK, combined with traveling through systems with a security status in the 0.5-0.6 range, it becomes more and more likely that someone will gank you for your cargo value. This is a bit of a fuzzy rule of thumb and in the quieter portions of the galaxy with routes that take you only through 0.8 and above systems, you can get away with hauling higher value cargo loads for a very long time. | For freighters, which have about 180-200k EHP, the benchmark value is 1B ISK (one billion).
