Any tips to avoid highsec ganking?

[Usernamehere]

I'm just a little concerned about it, because I've been saving up for a few ships I want, and I don't want to complete my goal and get them, just to get ganked on the way to the station where I want to store them. Any advice on how to prevent this or avoid it?

Stay docked up. If you fear death or can't replace what you're flying out there then just keep it in storage. if people want to kill you they will do so at their hearts content and there's little to nothing you can do about it.

Welcome to eve where the entire culture is based on grabbing a roll of tape and stretching your a**hole wide open.

After I buy this ship I'm probably going to take it back to the starter station and never take it out again. The main discussion here is flying it back to said station after buying it from probably Jita.

Hey man, kudos to you. But like i said, if they wanna kill you it will happen no matter how much preparation H you slather on your ship.

Just tank the ♥♥♥♥ out of it and hope their alpha isnt enough to crack it.

On that note - what are some good fits for tanking an Orthrus and Garmur?

Edit: I'm definitely going to be scouting Uedama for a gatecamp/gank squad before I bring the Orthrus and Garmur through, but aside from that, is it a viable option to just not worry about the low chance of ganking and fly normally?

Here's one: How about an Angel Cartel Machariel, currently worth around 400 million? What are the chances that I'd get ganked in that?

Again, I'm a ship collector - and the Machariel is, in my opinion, one of the coolest looking battleships in the game.

Nope, high sec ganking is part of the game as CCP suggested. Good luck.

Do what incursion runners do when moving their battleships, equip it with a "travel fit". The idea is to have enough health/shields to survive long enough for CONCORD to come to your aid. Also have a damage control and agility mod in the lows to align faster so you spend less time sitting around a gate.

What modules do you recommend?

[battlecattle]

Large shield extenders + shield hardeners (prioritize extenders), damage control unit, inertial stabilizers and/or warp core stabilizers.

The MWD/cloak trick may also be of interest, as it enables one to align while cloaked:

Thank you.

The gankers who gank for killmails like to target shiny ships, but folks in CODE do it for the laughs and will take a loss for their Lord James.

The gankers who gank for income will usually want 1.5 to 2x the value of their ship (or group of ships) to offset the cost and risk of having nothing valuable drop.

In short: If killing you instantly takes a single shot, and you're carrying more than 60 mil, then anticipate someone trying for you. The easier target you make, the more likely you are to get hit.
So -never- autopilot.

They are looking at your fit and loot, right before they fire. Good luck

My best advice to avoid gankers is to leave HS as your home. Go to low or null sec. i know it sounds the exact opposite, but I personally find null far safer than HS. Even if pvp isnt your thing, PVE content only gets better the farther you are out there.

This guy has it. In a good null alliance, yes, you are at war with tons of folks, however, you have intel channels and a local chat to avoid being ganked. If it isn't blue, cloak up. They get bored and move on.

This game cheats, if you have expensive ships you will always mysteriously get ganked, designers say they don't interfer, I call ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. When I am in a little expensive ship Ill get killed by someone who has just a little bit better ship, When I am in a big expensive ship I get ganked, doesn't really matter where you are in space, Then those people who have been here for years and years and have 20m skill points tell you that your fity is ♥♥♥♥...pretty standard, you can get a fit from one expert to only have another expert tell you that that other experts fit is ♥♥♥♥, not even your fits....this game is not worth. I won't be renewing my sub and won't be recommending it to anyone, as a matter of fact I will be writing a steam report thingy on the one sidedness to this game, your better off playing Star citizen or something, seriously this game is awefull.

You can have 100mil SP and fly the best ship in the game, but if you don't know how to fly it then someone with 1mil SP and a much worse ship (that they know how to fly) will easily kill you. Learn the game, you will die a lot, but if you give up like this and blame the game instead of yourself then pack your backs and leave because this game is absolutely not for you.

This is an example of the learning cliff taking affect. If you are getting ganked, avoid that area. If your told your fit is bad theres probably a reason. Leave hi sec and the game gets much better. Stay in hi sec and quit because you fail to learn the systems that make this game special.
