Unless you make it a point of skipping every EVE Online story on this site, you know that recently a player had the great misfortune of losing over $1200 worth of PLEX during a rather ill-advised market run, solo, in a Kestrel. Well, today's One Shots contributor, Xeron Rich, didn't tell us what was in his cargo holds, but he does note that he's "just making a highsec market run through the Lonetrek region." We're going to hope that he's not carrying an obscene amount of PLEX around, lest another potential round of spaceship schadenfreude ensue!
From large to small, we love MMOs! If we didn't, we wouldn't be here. Part of that love is looking at all manner of things players are doing here on One Shots every day. However, without player-submitted screenshots, all we can do is stare longingly into our mailbox and hope to hear from you. If you'd like to share your love of MMOs, then send a screenshot to us here at oneshots@massively.com. Be sure to include your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here and let everyone know you sent it in!

On a side not about that obscenely large amount of Plex. A friend pointed out to me, that to him it sounded like a set up.
That no one could be that stupid (tho I think they could) but it could have been a plan to rip off the corp for the plex, that just went awry when the plex got kerploded. Its not like EvE hasn't seen its share of people gunning for corp loot, could have just seen an opportunity called some people they knew and laid out a simple plan.

E-Volumes have been written about this in the forums from both perspectives.
Here's the general breakdown on cargoes:
Low Value, Low Volume: Any ship is fine.
High Value, Low Volume: CovOps
High Volume, Low Value: Industrial or Freighter
High Volume, Hight Value: Orca or Transport w/Cloak
Never use Autopilot when transporting cargoes that are valuable to YOU.
Try to make runs right before or after daily downtime - makes it hard to organize gate camps at those times.
Carrying a high value, high volume cargo in a Kestrel in one of the most heavily used trade routes is insanely, jaw-droppingly stupid, and proof that EVE is definitely NOT a "Pay to Win" MMO.
