Obviously HICs are really good for infinite point, but that is the only use i can see so far.

Honestly, that's pretty much it. However, this isn't quite as terrible as everyone makes it out to be - they're mission-critical for lowsec super hunting because of it. They have a very small niche, but they're essential within said niche.

E: actually IIRC lowsec gatecampers use them a lot as well because they can tank the poo poo out of gate guns and with enough sebos you're not getting past them in anything short of an interceptor or cloaky

I learned about infinipoint when I learned why you shouldn't haul your own stuff on your mainchar. :shobon:
I had two gates through highsec to go to the wormhole entrance where I wanted to bring my stuff. Easy enough.

Multiple warpcorestabs. What could happen? They won't get multiple tacklers on you before you warp off. A single wartarget at the gate. You are stab'd, nothing can happen. Why can't I warp?

Well... Don't haul stuff through highsec on a wardecked character. HICs don't care about warpcorestabs.

We talking things we learned? How about don't pack a third of the stuff you just ripped off of a pubbie corp and try to make that "one last jump" through low sec space, even when all the people are docked up. Because they can undock and get on gate faster than you can align to the gate...

You can always try solo pvp, small gang pvp, miner ganking in high sec, ratting (or better yet, afk ratting). CTA/Strat ops are pretty much the only things you can't properly do in under an hour. The form up alone is often 30+ minutes.

I proposed much better activities first, then moved on to the ratting because, believe it or not, some people are into that sort of thing. :shrug:
At least i'm not advocating for mining.

Hictors are also pretty scary as combat shops these days and pressing the button drops their mass by a ton so you see them a lot in wormholes. I've also heard of wolf-rayet lml victors that can for into frigate holes and put out 1k DPs.

A improperly, or even decently tanked industrial with a full rack of warp core stabs will die to vexors before it hits warp.

The moral of the story is, never haul on any war dec'd character, never haul in a T1 industrial, and if you haul in a BR, do the cloak+mwd trick at every gate.

The real moral of the story is that there's High-Sec schmucks who will cart your poo poo around for pennies. If you're feeling unattached to this poo poo, they'll also collect a contract with a stupid high collateral, so feel free to blow them up instead of selling your wares in the marketplace.

T2 bubble Hictors are helpful for catching fast stuff on gates not just in lowsec because the bubble is 24KM radius compared to a dictor's 20KM radius bubbles.

I still say dragging a bubble around with you has way more potential for problems, plus it's not like a dictor can't drop two more bubbles while mwding towards its target.

Always collateral for more than you paid, so that if your package gets ganked you get paid for the inconvenience as well. In fact, collateral for the maximum they'll accept without charging more.

A max buffer passive tanked broadsword has 120k ehp and can passive tank 700 dps. No bling, just t2 fit. If you have nanos instead of SPRs in the lows the thing goes like 2.5k overheated but only passive tanks 300

yeah, a ship with 120k ehp that goes 2.5km/s and has a 24km infinipoint. oh, it can also go into frigate wormholes. Yours today for only 250m

You can dps fit it to to get upwards of like 500 dps which is loving ridiculous, too
