Smuggling Tips 101

3) Reach for the stars! In other words, go up, or down, your choice. By this I mean, when crossing a system to the next Jumphole fly above or below the usual flight plane by AT LEAST 15km. This puts you out of detection range of just about everything. My method is to dive straight down upon entry to a system, using the Jumphole to guage my depth (or height if I go up). Once at between 16 and 20km I target my exit point, keeping it in the top part of my screen so I don't inadvertently start to climb. A good smuggler crosses space like a phantom, nobody should see you pass.

Oh, if you are suggesting smugglers going off-plane to avoid interactions, you should definitely add something like: "Login at 5 a.m. GMT there will be less people to break your profit runs"; and "Always check the chat window, it will show you who is in system you going to". No seriously, casting my sarcasm away, you've wrote a great guide, except this point IMO. Players are already atomized enough with all empty systems we have. Yes, going off-plane grants you about 100% success, but what's the point of doing such thing like avoiding interaction on RP server?
