NO PLASTIC WRAPS! Don't carry on your hauler more than 1.5x times ISK needed for ships to gank you. Don't fly to low/null. Don't haul faction stuff. Don't fly if you are in militia. Don't fly if you are at WAR. Don't fly if you have active KR ( unless you making isk on this) Don't fly if you have 'new' people in your (non npc) corp :P
And now something you should have. All EHP skills armor/structure/shield Passive resistance skills ( hmm they don't require items ?) Passive tank implants (correct one, don't put shield implant if you fly orca) If you fly orca Reinforced bulkheads II and damage control in low is a must!
So simple :) And it applies - to all industrial / PVE ships :)
Your going to get allot of doublestandards on plastic wrapping stuff.
Plastic Wrap it all. Don't plastic wrap it all. I put it like this.
You have a 2 cars, each have $1,000 in it, cash. One car has the $1,000 in the passenger seat, the other has $1,000 in a suitcase, and the suitcase is covered by a sweater, also in the passenger front seat.
Are both susceptible, yep, both has $1,000 in it, yep. Which will more likely get robbed...
You get the idea.
If they want to kill you, they want to kill you.
If you are running red-frog stuff, its all going to be doublewrapped anyway, insure the freighter if you are that worried. If they see several plastic wrapped stuff, then yea they'll stumble, you may get shot.
You may get shot even if you have NOTHING in your hull.
Be particular with your stuff, plan your route, your stuff will get blown up eventually just by people being bored. It is literally random though, unless you are doing a massive haul of stuff.
If you are that worried, have a 2nd char, scan 1 jump ahead, check to see if your being followed, if you are, dock up, see if they leave, If they don't. Guess what, your probably being stalked (They will only do this if your carrying something valuable). Freighter ganks require a large commitment of resources, you won't get ganked by 5 guys. you'll get ganked by 25 guys.
if you have spare cash and can replace the freighter if ganked, you'll sleep easier. People gank freighters because they have Fat Lewts. if they don't know if they have fat lewts, they will generally wait. |
