When flying through [[high-sec]], it's very difficult to destroy your ship, as your quick align time gives potential [[Suicide Ganking 101|suicide gankers]] very little time to lock on to you and do enough damage to destroy your ship. This presumes, of course, that you don't use the autopilot to fly your ship (as it lands you 10km away from stargates). Nonetheless, it's a good idea to cloak while warping to make your ship even more stealthy. Keep in mind that blockade runners are immune to cargo scans (so there is no way for others to tell what you are hauling) - this can be both a blessing and a curse, as even though suicide gankers don't know for sure that you're carrying something valuable, they may assume that since you're flying an unscannable ship you've obviously got ''something'' to hide, and will attack you anyway.
