Negative Security Status

Starwalker realised after the Executed in Egghelende and Hit in Hadozoko that the negative security status had dropped to -4.1. That was much faster than expected and primarily down to killing the two pods. The consequence of this new status was that only 0.5 high security space systems were open and entering 0.6 – 1.0 hisec would result in being chased by the faction police. It was time to relocate to low security space.

This eventuality had already been planned for with the Hauler Alt and Selecting Base for Operations. The move to Essence had been smooth and uneventful. What had not been planned was the desire to have two bases for operations: a primary location for the majority of time and a secondary location to go and hideout or to be somewhere different. The choices were still the same though:

1. Heimatar and Metropolis, in Minmatar space

2. Essence and Placid, in Gallente space

So, the Essence relocation to lowsec was easy as it had already been planned and less was being moved. The relocation to Metropolis would be more painful just because it was further and would involve multiple shuttle trips to move almost everything.

Starwalker had not been unable to travel in hisec before and was curious what would happen if he moved through hisec in a frigate, battlecruiser and industrial. Of course, this happened to coincide with some of the ships that needed to be moved and because they were already rigged they would not be repackaged, as that would simply destroy the rigs.

·         Frigates (Probes and Rifters) seemed to be easy as they simply passed through each system despite warnings

·         Battlecruiser (Drake) was lucky as no faction police seemed to be there at the right time

·         Industrial (Badger) was even luckier as it was webbed twice and hit once by rank 1 security, which hit for 893 and took the badger deep into armour immediately. Fortunately, the rank 3 security missed, otherwise that might have been an embarrassing loss of two frigates and an industrial ship

Whilst this is not a recommended way, the Hauler Alt simply took a low peak time, checked Dotlan EveMaps for jumps and kills and then simply shuttled ships and equipment directly into lowsec without scouting it first.

Net result, Starwalker has relocated to lowsec leaving four salvager ships in hisec. Starwalker is looking forward to the future and life in lowsec.
