The high-stakes risk of moving cargo in Eve Online

6yo Skye Flying My Most Expensive Ship In Eve Online · 6:45 · Video: Scott Manley · Watch at the source

In short: Watch what happens when a beginner pilot takes the wheel of a multi-billion ISK jump freighter. This video explores the extreme vulnerability of high-value transport ships in a dangerous sandbox universe.

The Rhea jump freighter is a massive investment, valued at 6 billion ISK (roughly $250 in PLEX). While it is designed for long-distance travel, it lacks both offensive and defensive systems, making it a prime target in hostile territory.

Because of this vulnerability, moving cargo via jump freighter requires a coordinated effort where other pilots scout for threats. The video captures a real-time jump from high-security space to a remote low-security zone, highlighting the technical nuances of ship handling, such as using 'webs' to increase warp speed.
