Hauling: Difference between revisions

Line 277:

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.

When you have expensive cargo above 1B to be moved in a freighter, consider double-wrapping it (create courier contract for some other alt of yours and then create another courier contract from this alt to actual freighter pilot). It will hide the contents of this packe (assembled containers offer same functionality) but still increases the risk, as some gankers tend to gank double wrapped transports, without knowing what's inside.

*Personal opinion, and debated. Check the discussion page for further info. This rule can vary between 3-5M depending on current prices of the ships typically used to gank industrial haulers.
