*As long as you don’t have any implants in your clone traveling to Solitude by “Pod Express” may be the simplest route. Change your medical clone location to [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/ | *As long as you don’t have any implants in your clone traveling to Solitude by “Pod Express” may be the simplest route. [[Clone#Locations|Change your medical clone location]] to [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Vecodie_II_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Testing_Facilities Station - Vecodie II - Federal Intelligence Office Testing Facilities] if you still have your annual remote relocation available, and then self-destruct your pod. It is highly recommended that you first set up a jump clone in Empire so that you can jump in and out of Solitude at your leisure. Once you arrive in Solitude you can use a station in the neighboring system [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Yvaeroure_XI_-_Moon_7_-_Poteque_Pharmaceuticals_Biotech_Production Yvaeroure XI - Moon 7 - Poteque Pharmaceuticals Biotech Production] for any pod bay services. | ||

*The ‘Solitude Co-ordinated Scanning Endeavour’ finds hisec-to-hisec wormholes on average two to three times a week. This makes it a lot easier for those wanting to move assets into the region without having to go through the dangerous low-sec or null-sec pipes. Entry and exit points for active WH’s can usually be found in the Project Solitude bookmarks folder. Notifications are being sent out via a mailing list that has been created specifically for this purpose. Please check the forum or ask in Solitude.E-Uni for further details. | *The ‘Solitude Co-ordinated Scanning Endeavour’ finds hisec-to-hisec wormholes on average two to three times a week.

==== Use the uni sponsored jump ship service ==== | |||
*Thanks to the NullSec Campus a free jump ship service is provided between [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Boystin_V_-_Moon_6_-_Federal_Intelligence_Office_Assembly_Plant Boystin V - Moon 6 - Federal Intelligence Office Assembly Plant] and [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/PC9-AY_III_-_Intaki_Commerce_Trading_Post PC9-AY III - Intaki Commerce Trading Post] from there it is possible to utilize a second jump ship service to send items between [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/PC9-AY_III_-_Intaki_Commerce_Trading_Post PC9-AY III - Intaki Commerce Trading Post] and [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/station/Jita_IV_-_Moon_4_-_Caldari_Navy_Assembly_Plant Jita IV - Moon 4 - Caldari Navy Assembly Plant]. | |||
More information about how to use the service can be found on the forums under the NSC [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=212&t=94053#p802266 Jump Freighter program]. | |||
'''Important notes''' | |||
* The service is FREE; funded by the corporation taxes on PvE; missioning; using POCOs etc. But feel free to put a tip on; around 1 million isk per 10,000 m<sup>3</sup> is a perfect amount to cover fuel costs. | |||
* No collateral can be put on these contracts. If the service is destroyed and your items lost they will not be replaced by the Uni. | |||
* The service runs once a week to Boystin and every couple of days between PC9 and Jita so it can take up to a week to move items from Jita to Boystin or Vice Versa. | |||
* It is possible to create remote contracts so don't fly (or Jump Clone) to PC9 to create the second contract; just do it from Solitude once the items arrive in PC9. | |||
* Obviously the service can only move items. You'll still need to either fly or clone jump yourself to Solitude. Sorry no bus services exist in EVE yet. | |||
==== Making use of courier services ==== | ==== Making use of courier services ==== | ||
*Wormholes have a limited time and mass. As such, it might not always be possible for members to make good use of them. An alternative is to use a courier to move assets into the region. Although there are many courier services around, [http://black-frog.red-frog.org/jumps.php Black Frog] is probably the best known. Note though that using courier services can be a quite costly exercise. Black Frog for example, charges {{gaps|100|000|000}} ISK to move up to {{gaps|320|000}} {{m3}} from Slays to Boystin. | *Wormholes have a limited time and mass.

*Several E-UNI members routinely move materials into Solitude and may be willing to accept courier contracts. Pricing is typically negotiable. Ask in Soli chat or offers and requests if you are looking to move large volumes of items in or out of the area. | *Several E-UNI members routinely move materials into Solitude and may be willing to accept courier contracts.
