Use courier contracts to haul stuff within highsec. Zero risk for you, no effort required, minimal costs (much less than what you could earn in the time it takes you to haul stuff yourself.) Train your char for pewpew ships.

Thanks for the help

My last question is this. If i had a fully fit and rigged Bestower in my orca ship bay. Could i fill it with missiles and they remain unscanned as they are in the bestower hold inside the Orca.


Also could i fit expensive mods on on that bestower and they remain un scanned.



Thanks

4. I left Jita yesterday and i was locked up by scouts before the screen had even loaded. Has this only happened since they changed the undock/ gate jump mechanics.

The Orca's standard cargohold and its Fleet Hangar can both be scanned by would-be gankers to ascertain whether or not you've got stuff worth taking you out for. That said, it takes at least twenty Nados to gank a properly fitted Orca - that's a lot of isk investment and gangs that size aren't hanging about every day. And when they do, they're usually along the Jita <-> Amarr run (Niarja is infamous), or Jita <-> Rens.
A scout is invaluable, or even another corp member in fleet with you, who can web your Orca as it aligns which can reduce time-to-warp by several long seconds. So start recruiting :)

Blockade Runners are unusual in that their cargoholds cannot be scanned. The non-cloaky versions have the biggest cargoholds and more low slots for expanders or tank. I think the Occator can reach about 39,000m3 but it has *no* tank and relying simply on +2 warp strength isn't a good idea.

If you really want a (relatively) safe ship, as well as some giggles, I'd suggest an Impel. It has 7 lows. With T2 and a couple of cheap faction hardeners, plus T2 Trimarks, you can fit an Impel with over 110,000 ehp and a sig radius of 160m which means even a gang of thirty Nados will die in a Concord fire before you pop. It'll only haul 5,000 m3 but if your "forays" are as frequent as you say, how much space are you really going to need?

You cannot haul a ship with cargo inside its bays.

Just remember that speed is as good a tank as raw EHP.

If you are manually piloting a fairly fast ship there is very little time for a Gank to be setup ect. The 10km3 you can get from speedy/tanky Indys will carry a fairly large amount of Ammo and with a good fit you can warp pretty quickly and with a MWD/cloak they are pretty hard to catch.

I would personally only use Orca if I was moving a large volume or AFK APing, they are pretty slow and its a waste of your time. If you keep the cargo under 1 BiI you should be fine, even 2 Bill most likely.

Otherwise stick with something fast and cloaky.

if u have to fly that ship into low/null, choose a BR. orca hauling is straightly HS only.....

orca can't do the cloak/MWD trick..

yes it can

yes, indeed it can

For the Orca to do the MWD/cloak trick does it need to have a certain fit or maxed skilled or can it be done straight out the box if you know what you are doing?

You can get 2 volleys off in a .5 or .6 system at about 13k a volley. So 9 or 10 Nado's tops.

Sure, if all your Nado pilots are max skilled with 2 x 5% damage implants..

(and the boats are T2-fitted at around 100m isk each)

(and the target is absolutely stationary with respect to all aggressors)

(and everyone remembers to overheat)

Etc etc..

Then you can achieve just under 13k alpha. Hopefully.

Doesn't leave a lot of room for error
