| The cheapest and simplest method of moving is to simply refit your ship for travel, set destination and then travel there. Provided you don't move when gank fleets are active and use MWD+Cloak trick on potentially dangerous gates you will generally be safe. | The cheapest and simplest method of moving is to simply refit your ship for travel, set destination and then travel there.

| That said, this is still a high risk method of travel, if you do run into some gankers who want to kill you, they will kill you. They will attempt to instalock you to prevent cloak, bump you out of alignment, and form a fleet to come gank you. Tank is irrelevant on ganks, if gankers want to, they will kill you. | That said, this is still a high risk method of travel, if you do run into some gankers who want to kill you, they will kill you.

| By far the safest and most effective method of travel for someone with one ship and expensive fitting modules is to move the main ship fitted with all T2 mods attached to it, and then separately move the expensive deadspace/faction mods in a ship specifically chosen and fit for safely moving low volume goods. | By far the safest and most effective method of travel for someone with one ship and expensive fitting modules is to move the main ship fitted with all T2 mods attached to it, and then separately move the expensive deadspace/faction mods in a ship specifically chosen and fit for safely moving low volume goods. | ||
| By far the best choice is a Blockade Runner, correctly flown they are pretty much uncatchable, unscannable and have a reasonably large amount of cargo for all the mods and ammo you could possibly need to bring. | By far the best choice is a Blockade Runner, correctly flown they are pretty much uncatchable, unscannable and have a reasonably large amount of cargo for all the mods and ammo you could possibly need to bring. | ||
| - | Other good options for the module moving ship include cloaky, low align time T3 Cruisers, specifically fit "Insta-Warp Hecates" which have a less than one second align time. Interceptors are also usable but are uncatchable. | + | Other good options for the module moving ship include cloaky, low align time T3 Cruisers, specifically fit "Insta-Warp Hecates" which have a less than one second align time.

| + | You should always take a look at Dotlan prior to travelling. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Start by using [[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route|Dotlan's route planner]]. Put in your starting system and your destination, choose "Prefer HighSec" and then press Go. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Take a look at the route, check if Uedama/Niarja are on your travel path (these are ganking hotspots due to the fact that they have 0.5 security and are difficult to avoid for travelling. | ||
| + | Look for any systems with high numbers in the Kills column (kills in the last hour). If you think something looks suspicious, look at it closer. Click on the system name in Dotlan and go to the "Kills" tab which is powered by zKillboard. | ||
| + | Look for freighters or other expensive ships dying, if even one has died recently it may indicate an active gank fleet. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If we have just changed focus there will be a lot of people moving and you may get some good intel if you ask in our in-game channel whether there are gankers active/is it safe to travel. Trust FC intel over others. Always do your own checks regardless of what anyone says. | ||
