I find it funny that your last two videos (this one and the reaction farming) are exactly how ive been making my money on EVE for quite awhile now xD. I hope you dont encourage too many player to reaction farm. I like my profits :)

[@seannoyes4417]

Another thing that you can do when warping from a station is to align, and then warp when at full speed. This gets rid of having to ctrl+space when your drive is active, and allows for you to dock quicker.

[@agoodname3781]

I think you should have mentioned webbing alts aswell as it makes catching a jf much harder than you just aligning to the next gate. What I also like to do is stop ship as I undock and then align and web myself like 3sec afterwards and thats enough to get me into warp. While also staying close to the station.

[@jk7878]

Good thing they now have docking rings

[@macktruckergirl6049]

This is a great video (despite me finding it 4 years later...LOL!) but dang you talk fast. ;) XD

[@jwilham]

you need to do video's for every type of ship style... eve has shit video tutorials... they are usually like 40 mins long and leave out a lot of stuff... good video.

[@surf-travel-seek4147]

Thanks for the video and guide links.

[@demsocialism]

Oh man. They got me at 8:55 with #3.

[@cccristol]

Thanks for this

[@rogerswab2131]

I take it you can't jump into high sec? Can you jump out of high sec? Like if I undock from Jita, and have a cyno somewhere, can I jump from Jita or do I need to burn my way to low sec first?

[@dnlkeoriyi]

yes you can jump out of hs but not into hs

[@racecarjimmy732]

i remember watching this way back and is why i went with an ark first ha!

[@morrgash]

Can't thank you enough man :)

[@resurrectionx5952]

Did you say super carrier can one shot you ? I wondering how its possible I would expect jump freighter can survive some beating it have lots of HP.

[@brianminor4327]

I know this is an old video, but I wish someone somewhere that did a JF tutorial would bother telling newbies that you cannot light a cynosural field generator in High Sec. Meaning you can only jump from High Sec to Low Sec or Null Sec. If you want to get back into High Sec, you need to do the slow crawl back through how ever many gates are required to get back home. JFs are not really meant for High Sec transport other than transporting something OUT. They are more for transport between low sec branches or between null sec pockets.

[@rondo_lv8484]

Hi, i have searched all over a i-net. Can JF use Jump Bridge??

[@zdron07]

why do they require multiple characters?

[@TheBod76]

You need a cyno to jump to. So people usually have dedicated alts for lighting the cynos. You don´t need multiple chars, you could ask others to light a cyno, but that is taking a HUGE risk.

[@hailstorm7868]

Just go ahead and go ahead

[@mikeslayer21]

i have once had jup fatique for 32 daysXD

[@thbran7417]

jump freighaters cost 9.5 to 10 billion as i type this...

[@Fjsouth]

jump freighter should never be considered t2. they only have a jump drive.

[@AxelKuno]

that is like saying black ops shouldn´t be considered t2 because they have a jump drive

[@rRobertSmith]

wait wait 7b for the hull and 50m per trip for fuel....oh no! (back to the drawing board) and! two other very high trained chars??

[@grueti21]

why do you fly with your jumpffreighter to a highsec trade hub? I thought you are supposed to switch to a normal freighter in the first highsec system. Why do you not use save undock bookmarks on the lowsec station? So when you undock you instantly warp 5000 km or more away from the station and then you warp to the first highsec system.

[@pridit5061]

Well, the argument is what you're carrying might end up being more valuable or as valuable as the JF you're using to haul it in. Swapping to a normal Freighter doesn't give you the JF lifeline of being able to jump instantly should you spot an impending gank, so in a normal Freighter you're helpless and a juicy target carrying a JF haul unless you split it into several runs so it isn't worthwhile to gank you.

[@grueti21]

Well i wouldn't fly through highsec with a jumpfreighter. I would switch to a normal freighter in the first highsec system.

[@pridit5061]

Glücks Grüti well yeah and as I just said the argument for not doing that is you might be carrying more than a normal Freighter is worth making it an appealing gank target, or requiring multiple runs to complete. If you do the entire haul with a JF you're still just as big a target but if anything is amiss you can make use of the jump drive which a normal Freighter doesn't have, what's hard to understand?

[@Decanewolf]

@@pridit5061 gankers will shoot a freighter regardless of its contents these days, hs ganks have become a serious issue, i even get one shot in a shuttle that's fucking empty for christs sake :D

[@Mr1969SuperBee]

"Okay my dudes" :)

[@GIBROCKGAMES]

So dafuq downnn, yikes!

[@rebelwolves]

There are people that alpha JF's in lowsec? surely not.. *wonders if there is a way to remove all those JFs from nyx alt's KB* anyways. always go AFK when warping to the HS gate from Lowsec station and turn the volume off.. :) Sidenote: We call ourselves Darwinism for a reason
