 <html>Time for a lesson, !&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/group/177/id&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;EVE Online Ponies (eveponies)&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;eveponies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; . When you're taking a courier contract always take the safe route. I was a courier for a while, just trying some new stuff with my industrial ship (they're the basic cargo haulers), trying to make some change while I messed around. Ended up taking a contract with a high collateral amount, but decent pay and short distance...if I went through a few low security systems. Of course I decided to be stupid, figuring my cloaking module would save me. I jumped into the first low-sec system and there were a few pirates camping the gate. Feeling safe, I aligned to my gate and hit the cloaking module...unfortunately I didn't take into account the large signature of the industrial ship and they locked me instantly. Less than a minute later I was a few hundred million ISK (that's the currency) in the hole, down an industrial and somewhat annoyed. Lessons learned: Always take the safest route and cloaking doesn't equal safety. !&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/group/177/id&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;EVE Online Ponies (eveponies)&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;eveponies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</html>
