Your boosters are not welcome in Jita.

There's a pretty active market with both buy and sell orders in Jita for the boosters, so I'm not worried about that -people obviously just jump freighter them out etc.

Thanks, I'll check out interceptors, but presumably covops work just as well.

I But throwaway alt is even more easy.

You can sell in Jita if you want, but it's a pretty massive hassle on both you and your prospective clients.

Here's a tip I can offer you though if you're at all interested: if you're not 100% set on selling the actual finished product, you should consider selling the pure chemical booster form (step 9/10) and not the actual finished combat booster. The pure chemical forms are completely legal to haul, and there is barely any competition.

Savvy traders/explorers bottleneck the gas supply, so you can make your own cash by bottlenecking the pure chemical forms if you want.

Let someone else take the risk transporting the final product.

Just my 2 cents (it's what I do.)

I think blockade runners are immune to npc scans nowadays, try it.

People actually buy those? You need the POS to finish them anyway...

Awhile back I was very into booster production. I was making about 50 standard pills a day selling on the lowsec market of FW players. The reason I quit was I was outproducing what I was selling. Any bulk stash I had to get rid of quicker then the market in low I took to jita.

There is no way to escape the NPC customs scans. It will happen cloaked or not. The easiest way to not have it confiscated is a quick alligning frigate (Inertia stabs help) and just manually warp gate to gate.

Disregard the popup until you are able to get through the other gate to the side There are no way to avoid the fines so take that into account with planning profits. But atleast you can not get it taken away being quick enough on the warp.

Oh and you lose a little sec status

...or having a fleet actually kill the customs ships...

I went onto SiSi to do some tests for runing boosters through Hisec. I took the fastest aligning ship I could fly, rigged it and fitted it for fastest alignment, stuck a booster in the hold and went for a drive. What I found was that I didn't get scanned on the incoming gate once, but I got the pop-up on the outgate roughly 50% of the time that Customs were on the gate.

I selected the Jump option on warping so went straight to zero on the gate and jumped automatically, but still got caught. I am of the opinion that there is nothing to do to prevent a fine if you get scanned, and the scan will happen on a random chance no matter what you do. I will run more tests to further test my theory prior to actually moving any boosters through hisec on the real server.

This, I think is something which could use a new skill to train:

Smuggling - 15% per level to avoid fines from Customs

You would never be 100% safe, but the better skilled you are the less likely to be caught, just like in real life. hehe. In fact, I think I will head over to the Ideas forum and stick it in.
