The solution is crap and too much work! It must be replaced by
1) either the HIGHSEC INVULNERABILITY AND SAFE AFK-FLYING BUTTON 2) or CONCORD police with infinite warp-in speed and infinite destructive power (faster than a smartbomb button can be pressed)
Ah, forget (2) we don't like CONCORD. (1) should be implemented quickly (before all T2 Titans or something like that).

- warp to zero - use scout - use fast ship - dont move more stuff then you can afford to loose - move all valuable items in few runs - think ;)
what else?
Now you can add something new. - hide your valuable items
Those are all enough even without the last one. The most important one, however, although implied, is missing in your post.
I will give it to you in code.
Dear Mother,
Now that I have aquired a good job with a high salary, and freed myself of the shackles of your matronal oppression, I feel it apt to write to you to tell you that you will be spending your last years in a retirement home in the Utah badlands. I will not visit you in said facility, as old people smell, and you will die alone. My wife and I will celebrate your eventual passing on our newly acuired yacht, sipping drinks. I hope this letter finds you in good health, so that you may enjoy your solitude.
Best regards,
Your son.

Yep, but still, use an alt.
Hi sec gankers are cowards. They will not risk ships and money on something that does not have any chance of dropping anything valuable. If more people will start hiding their cargo, then hisec gankers will have hard time choosing target.
If highsec gankers were cowards they would be in the corner sucking their thumbs and wondering when their missions would end. |

I don't think that the OP is correct actually... The last time I tried to set up a courier contract with a GSC full of crap, when the thing was wrapped up the items were all removed from the GSC, thus making a package with a GSC and a bunch of other crap.
I'm going to have to test this again and see if I am just remembering things wrong, as I am not 100% on this. But off the top of my head, I do not believe that the trick described by the OP actually works as indicated. |

if it's just one gsc, you should be using a blockade runner. they are pretty tough to gank before being concorded |

Edited by: Radioactive Babe on 03/05/2008 10:14:28 I didnt want to take some guy on the internets word for it so i tested it myself, and it does exactly what it says on the tin ... you cannot see the contents of a GSC when it is inside a freight container (i.e. the courier package)
One thing that did surprise me was that the guy doing the couriering (yeah its probably not a real word) can see the contents just by double clicking on it .... or maybe because it was a corp contract??
anyway -> http://dl.eve-files.com/media/0805/cant-see-me---neener.JPG <-- what the scanner see and what the scanee sees |

It would be enough if we are allowed to kill any negativ secure players and players with bounty on them without beeing attackt by CONCORD.
If this highsec gangers must fear to be ganged most of them will stop.
Atm they don't have to bother about other players, just about concord (wich is far to slow!!). Let anti-Pirates or headhunters do the job that CONCORD can't do! |

High-sec ganking is not a problem therefore your 'solution' is moot.

It is and suizid ganging is (even if not declared by CCP) an exploid itselve as they "exploid the game mechanic from CONCORD".
So: anti-exploid an exploid ... it would be a pure joke if CCP would punish it in ANY way. |

Uhmmm... no it's not. CCP has explicitly said that it's not an exploit.

Pretty sure warp to zero and using a scout explicitly require rather than merely 'imply' that you shouldn't haul AFK. You'd have to macro to WTZ AFK, and I'm yet to work out how you scout AFK. |

Also, I've seen plenty of people ganked on the outbound warp rather than the inbound, which means that being at the keyboard wouldn't have helped them. It's the harsh reality that even with WTZ you still have to fit your haulers etc for speedy warps, and minimise the value of the cargo, I've seen ganks for 20mil, because the ganker only loses a little on such soft targets. |

Blockaderunners typically are paper-thin. The key is the 2-3 second aligntime, so nobody can lock you before you go in warp. |

To the OP: What is the point of using a courier?
The GSC shields your cargo from scanners, that's the only thing good about it.
It does not make you immune top jihading players, but they will be forced to gamble on wither or not sacrificing their ship is worth it or not.
They have no way of telling what is even in the cans, and they have no way of telling if there is anything in them in the first place.
If you have several cans, it may be more likely that you will be jihaded because they may presume if you do have something, it's probably a lot of stuff (which could be worth a lot) - so it could be worth it. Not always, but your more likely to see someone jihad you if you have more then one GSC.
The most simple solution against jihad's are to just be careful and not AFK all the time. Transports are also good, they are not that easy to pop before they get concordokken.
At best I think its 20 seconds response time in 0.5 space. I tested on Sisi and thats what I found - unless it varies from place to place. Theres no way a single Jihad pilot is going to kill a tanked out transport in that timeframe in a cheap ship. They would need a really high DPS (and expensive) ship to kill a transport in that time frame - which is not worth losing over a gamble with a transport with GSC's.
Not everyone uses Caldari Transports, but they are my favorites for auto-piloting in since they shield tank - they don't need to sacrifice their lows.
The Bustard for example full cargo fit with t1 rigs can hold 30,635m3. A Occator fitted this way can hold 35,509m3, and a Impel could hold 36,219m3. The thing is that the Bustard at best has almost 1k more shield HP then the Occator, and almost 1500 more shield HP then the Impel - that means more effective hitpoints, which means more time.
The Bustard also has 3 mid slots that can be used in whatever way you want to tank. The Occator and Impel are designed to armor tank - so you would have to drop 3 expanders on them to match the tank of the Bustard, and that would put their cargo below the Bustard. If you decided to shield tank with them, good luck because they only have 1-2 mid slots.
The Mastodon is also good - it auto-pilots faster than the Bustard, however it has a few hundred less shield HP and holds just a bit less. You can get the resistances up more easily though, so that compensates for less HP. |

This, that, etc.
There is no way to be safe from suicide ganking, or to even make yourself a "non-valuable" target, unfortunately. 100% risk free for the attacker and since their T1 gank ship cost them practically nothing after insurance they have nothing to lose and everything to gain. It's a sad state of affairs, really.
Oh, there is one way, maybe you should add it to the list. -Don't undock. |
