Blockade Runners & Deep Space Transports || EVE Online

[@militarymoose87]

Space trucking....more than meets the eye.

[@captainbenzie]

Yup!!

[@Mic_Glow]

10:16 the way warping/bubbles work, you don't need the nullification to last for whole align time. If you can warp or not, and where you will land if there is a bubble at destination is calculated the moment you press warp. Exception is if you press warp (without nullifier on) and during aligning a new bubble pops up on top of you, then your ship will stop

[@maksymshkopas8686]

Yeah, exactly! Your align time can be 300 seconds and it will still work

[@donaldmonroe8503]

About the 8 minute mark I was like ‘No way!’ I learned something today which I will use. Thank you, thank you, thank you for teaching this old dog new tricks!

[@captainbenzie]

[@RifterBlade]

I use my prowler all the time to pick up my PI from lowsec. I have a lot to relearn about travel in such areas, however my bookmarks and the stealthy capabilities and cargo capacity have made the runs easy so far, as long as I keep my attention on what I'm doing! ;) Good video man, thanks for taking the time!

[@captainbenzie]

Glad you're enjoying the video and the ship!!

[@TroubledTurnip]

I ended up with Gallente haulers just because if you want to do any sort of PI the Planetary Commodity hold in the Epithal is pretty essential. Since you already have to train into Galente haulers to get it, I just kept it going. I only do the most basic PI and it's a fairly reliable 100 million a week. Definitely worth doing if you have 5 minutes to click Extract on your 3 characters each morning, and maybe 30 minutes to haul finished products around once a week.

[@Mika-ph6ku]

Primae

[@Arthion]

It kinda annoys me honestly that after all this time they still have left most of these basic specialty haulers as Gallente-only

[@Shorrey]

Same here.

[@AndyKauffman-ml3og]

Same here, but I started with a Miasmos & Kryos for mining ore & ice. Kept going with Gallente.

[@Shorrey]

@@Arthion yeah, but ammar dst can be significantly more tanky. So there is still a reason to SP other nations if you bother...

[@WillAtterson]

At 17:10 you mention that you can use the MWD+Cloak trick with the Blockade Runner. But surely if you're using a covert ops cloak you don't need to; you just click warp (breaking your temporary gate cloak), cloak up with the covert ops cloak, and then about 3 or 4 seconds later you'll warp whilst cloaked.

[@shilohwelch9626]

Won’t you show up on grid for a second though? Someone can try to get in range and de cloak?

[@WillAtterson]

@@shilohwelch9626 Yes you will, but I don't know of any way to avoid that. Using the MWD+Cloak trick would be the same, only you'd be in space, cloaked, for the 10-second MWD cycle before warping off.

[@captainbenzie]

Correct, merely a slip of the tongue 😅

[@ephilihp]

10:08 The align time isn't important for the nullifier. Typically you align first, get up to speed, then hit the nullifier right before you warp. The align time is mostly just important for when you find you've jumped into a gate camp bubble. You need to get into warp before tackle can burn over to you and a pair of scrams on you.

[@Burbun]

This man talking about the cloak/MWD warp trick in reference to a cov ops cloak ship, and you nitpick about the nullifier thing? (That trick is for ships that can't cloak and warp at the same time, simply cloaking and warping with no MWD is purely better on this ship. Nevermind it was equipped with an AB >.>)

[@diamondmx3076]

You can and should activate the nullifier while gate cloaked. The nullifier can expire while you're aligning and you'll still warp. It only checks when you click the warp button. This is different than the WCS which checks both on Warp button and after aligning when you actually enter warp.

[@shawnp6653]

Hauling was my favorite profession in Eve. Thanks for this video and featuring 2 of my favorites.

[@captainbenzie]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@bobydigital7632]

The Prowler, a great ship! She was the basis for a successful & self-sufficient life in the Shattered Wormholes, she was my citadel & a wolf in sheep's clothing with the Combat Scanners!

[@captainbenzie]

One of my favourite industrial ships!!

[@goldeneagle256]

good reason to skill into gallente over the other faction when it comes to hauling ship, are the higher selection of specialized t1 transport ships, like you can get the t1 kryos that can carry up to 70k m3 minerals. allso find the blockade runner to be alot safer ship then the deep sport transport. blockade runners are really hard to catch by themselvs, and if you run a scout 2 jumps ahead of it, to make sure you dont land it in a gatecamp, they near impossible to catch, and i feel so safe in them with that setup i have no issues flying around with 10-12 bill + in the cargo on regular basis if i need to

[@captainbenzie]

Excellent and glad you're doing well!

[@comcastjohn]

Love your videos, they have helped me so much as a returning player.

[@captainbenzie]

Glad to help!!

[@TheCynysterMind]

Great video! I would love to see an example of surviving warping into a gate camp. Every time I get ganked I drop into a bubble with a 'gang of three' where my cloak drops. (some array of three ships... One to do damage One that drains my capacitor and one that scrambles me)

[@captainbenzie]

I did try to, but couldn't find a decent gatecamp to even run 😅 typical really. Couldn't find one when you try to, get caught when you don't want to

[@ByronLowry]

It's not easy to escape once you're caught. It takes practice developing the reaction time and muscle memory to notice you've been interdicted, engage your nullifier, and warp out before being pointed. If you have a corp, you can always do some "safe" practice runs with them to help build those skills. When you're successful, it feels really good escaping a gate camp and subsequent chase. Don't ask how it felt losing a Viator carrying a Tengu, fittings, and loot totaling 1.3B in the 2 minutes before downtime on the last jump out of null tho.....

[@vladpetrescu89]

Regarding high sec hauling, you should try moving from incursion to incursion with your bling fits worth upwards of 5-10 bil / ship when every ganker knows you're an incursion pilot. That'll give you a similar feel to traveling through wormholes. :) Otherwise nice video, keep it up.

[@captainbenzie]

Haha thank you ☺️

[@ApoTroll]

Give your name and usual route, and I will make sure you have blue standings!!11

[@countcampula]

I know I'm late but cargo containers are great for storage, it adds a very small amount of room to cargo. I use it on my apoc navy issue to hall my energy caps and scripts and other thingamajigs

[@captainbenzie]

Never too late to give great tips! ☺️

[@ArsenicShooter]

Using the prowler in all security spaces and never got caught in years and years, still the first one I bought. As long as you know what you’re doing, it’s like the Stiletto, even if it doesn’t have the covert ops device 🎉

[@captainbenzie]

Exactly this!

[@schizofennec]

just so you know, you're better off keeping the align time above 14 seconds, because a MWD lasts 10 seconds, meaning if you cloaky mwd (or just pulse mwd) when it ends, you will always warp in 10 seconds. this allows you to be 10s align but fit stuff like damage control or power diagnostic, heck even cargo if you want. run triple prop instead of shield extender: MWD for cloaky mwd or just going fast AB for when scrammed (MWD doesnt work when scrammed) MJD for escaping sticky situations with cloaky+MJD trick, pretty much uncatchable with this. It sounds silly but give it some thought. If you are caught by a significant gatecamp, you're already dead. escaping is more important than having EHP thatll make you still pop, just a minute or two slower.

[@captainbenzie]

Absolutely agree with this!

[@user-dz2wi5uo4g]

Great video! I'm loving my time in Grimskull!!

[@captainbenzie]

Great to hear!

[@simply4est]

Same, I've loved my Crane since starting to use it!

[@captainbenzie]

Awesome ship!

[@thecrimsonwhisker]

Ill often use my prowler to scout on my alt toon while i hunt or camp. Covops cloak is always useful and can haul loot home after!

[@captainbenzie]

Great usage!

[@toddpatton1750]

I have slowly got into PI as a side hussle to fund my ship purchasing habits (just need one more... or three... maybe those seven over there...) and all those nice modules. Wormholes seem to be pretty profitable so I may have to jump in some for a test run.

[@captainbenzie]

Best of luck!

[@madyooper8231]

I must admit, the blockade runner is a cool looking vessel.

[@captainbenzie]

The Prowler looks awesome! Not a fan of the Gallente or Amarr ones, but I do like Caldari Haulers too!

[@xasanth6318]

I like the looks of the "space trains" aka Bustard and Crane

[@captainbenzie]

Haha yeah! I feel the Prowler fits the Space Train aesthetic too!

[@Shorrey]

Could you, please, elaborate why you need cloak+mwd trick for covert cloak ship with sub 10 sec warp time? You mention this when you are talking about deep space transport... In your example, cloak+warp = 4 seconds, cloak+mwd+warp = 10 seconds. What's the point to involve mwd? It makes sence on the ships without covert ops cloak possibilities only? Or I am missing something?

[@captainbenzie]

DST can't warp cloaked so you should use it there. Didn't mean to mention Blockade Runners 😅

[@casparweeda1645]

Dear Capt, I also enjoy the hauling cat n mouse game. Also prefer the minmatar vessels. Tho some of the reasons are different. To transport goods safely in null/wh it pays to be out of the gate quickly, hence minmatar. Totally agree that the cloack/MWD, when preformed well, improves your hauling rate without losses. Have fun Hauling, II surely do :)

[@captainbenzie]

Thank you! 😂

[@casparweeda1645]

Btw, for a DST off the gate should not exceed the 10sec.

[@casparweeda1645]

The trick is to never get caught, else you receive a kill mail! Going with your daring fits (no modules) - why put a tank in a DST? Prefer to haul a shuttle with me, to scout out systems ahead (LS/Null/more challeging in WH's though)

[@ameisee4]

low align time doesn't help you not getting popped at stations where you don't have a instadock, which is where most blockade runners are killed imho. i'd get more tank on that blockade runner

[@captainbenzie]

...or set up an instadock

Awck-ah-tor i like mine. Reminds me of a work van. Also the nerus from echoes. I agree that the minmatar have the best names for the tech 2 haulers.

[@captainbenzie]

Prowler and Mastodon just sound so badass 😅

[@ChromaSoul]

The Minmatar haulers are in DIRE need for a visual update. Aside from some texture improvements over the years, it's literally been the same haulers since I started in 2007. Like the Wreathe/Prowler is sooo dated looking..

[@captainbenzie]

Honestly, the Prowler is probably my favourite hauler visually 😅

[@ChromaSoul]

@@captainbenzie It does look nice all things considered, but CCP is pretty good about updating ships while staying true to the original design. I think they could give it a good facelift

[@captainbenzie]

Good luck and have fun!!

[@WardDorrity]

I've been a big fan of the hypered and stabed Bustard. Never been caught in it.

[@BrunoMoozika]

Have you considered an afterburner instead of a jump drive? The afterburner allows you to align in 8s flat, without having to fit for agility. They are also useful to burn to the gate, if you are scrambled and your MWD is turned off. I don't see the usefulness of the micro jump drive since they are also disabled when you are scrambled, regardless of your warp core strength.

[@captainbenzie]

I'd never use an AB over a MWD as you can't do the MWD/Cloak trick with it, and in a real pinch, you can also do the cloak/MJD trick too if I'm in a bubble. It helps you get out of dangerous situations quickly.

[@captainbenzie]

The MJD also gets you out of bubbles even when disrupted. Sure, worthless when SCRAMMED but that doesn't always happen.

[@BrunoMoozika]

@@captainbenzie why I use dual prop, MWD and AB. You can do a cloak/MDJ trick? Didn't know that.

[@captainbenzie]

@@BrunoMoozika dual prop is also now eating into tank. Having an AB active increases your mass, ergo your inertia.

[@BrunoMoozika]

@@captainbenzie if I'm just being disrupted I can just warp out, don't need a MJD. In 99% of the cases if anyone is gonna bother with a DST they are packing with scramblers, multiple.

man i always wanted deep space transport fleet hangar to be able to hold the bigger structures in its cargo hold. Now ccp is bringing out new haulers :D

[@XKS99]

You can go to warp while cloaked with a BR, why do you need the the cloak/mwd trick?

[@captainbenzie]

You don't. The MWD/Cloak trick is mainly for things like Haulers and DSTs

[@chuckyxii10]

Why need MWD trick on Blockade runner just warp cloaked no?

[@captainbenzie]

Yeah, MWD/Cloak trick is more for DSTs.

[@toddgilbert8719]

Where do you haul to in wormhole space? There are no stations.

[@captainbenzie]

I'm in a wormhole corp. We have stations.

[@nullx8]

45kehp isn't that a bit low? my Occator has 82k and that is still low because i'm lacking some skills. also the align time doesn;t really matter that much as it always is the cycle time of the MWD anyway, so i would not worry too much about it or put reccources into it, which will free up them for Defense. one more thing, why do the MWD trick on a BR? you just hit warp and cloak, doing the MWD trick will add make your going away atually take longer.

[@captainbenzie]

EHP only matters if you're caught

[@epos79]

[@hanoifilms503]

I skilled into interceptors this weekend and spent yesterday moving high value items around low/nullsec. With 100m3 cargo space I can fit about 1.5billion isk worth of the 0.01m3 rig components in a single haul. Do you plan on doing a video on interceptors and hauling anytime soon?

[@RobertBreckenridge13]

Just be careful with smartbomb campers. It is possible to get hit with carefully timed smartbombs while you are still decelerating from warp. I was in an interceptor full of similar loot and got insta-popped and podded in lowsec before I even landed on the gate.

[@schizofennec]

Interceptors are easy: Warp to ping above gate, dscan, jump if clear. if nullsec, the same, but when you jump use nullifier, or if you are bubbled on the other side. They're the easiest ships to get around with. make good use of sub 2s align with mods and a cloak, mwd and nullifier.

[@Mr_Fission]

Im confused. You are talking about the MWD trick on a ahip you put an afterburner on (which is the right fitting call since it is anti gatecamp). And it also has a covops cloak, so you can warp cloaked. There is zero need to MWD trick on a blockade runner, ever.

[@CptGooch]

Let's about about align time and interdiction. I think you are over thinking things. Lets say you have 20s align time from stop and you have 10s of interdiction activation. You just got though the gate and there is a bubble. Just align to target, count to 10+, activate your interdiction nullifier, warp.
