Anything you're willing to lose! There are people in everything from frigates to battleships and the occasional strategic cruiser. However, you should ensure that that your ship is ready for PVP. Ask about your fit if you want any suggestions.

The first time you come out to camp you can ask in the QRC Mumble channel, or in the QRC.E-Uni chat chennel, if anyone can scout the route in for you and check it for hostiles, or gate camps etc.

It's a good idea to bring a fast frigate for two reasons; one, a fast frigate is difficult to catch moving from gate to gate on your first trip in and two, you'll want to create some tactical bookmarks in the QRC and adjacent systems upon arrival. A frigate equipped with a microwarpdive is an excellent ship to do this in.

Once you've made your bookmarks feel free to take in any ships you want to fight in. You might want to hold off on taking your industrial anywhere near the QRC until you get the hang of things, and even then only if you're ready for it to be ripped apart by pirates.

The [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/route/xxxx fastest route] from xxxx is reasonably safe, only passing through one major trade hub (Hek) and staying in hi-sec until the last two jumps. When travelling down join the QRC.E-Uni channel and/or LoSec Campus Mumble Channel and ask the campers for eyes from [http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/xxxx], the last hi-sec system. Campers can then advise you whether it is safe to make the last two jumps to the QRC.

If you haven't set up your overview, you must do so before going out to QRC. If your overview is not properly set up, you might find yourself engaging inappropriate targets, taking fire from ships that don't even show up, or other equally disastrous situations. Pay special attention to the Pod Saver tab and learn how to use it. See the [[Overview Guide]] for information about how to configure your overview.

===Local Chat===
===Local Chat===


Local chat shows you all the pilots in your current system. It's a good idea to separate this window from your other chat windows and make it as tall as possible, so that you can see as many other pilots in local as possible. When you enter a system, you should check the names you see for anyone who you know causes trouble. You should also double-click their names and view their corp/alliance. Do several of them share a corp or alliance? If so, engaging them could mean an incoming gank for you. As you spend more time in the QRC you'll begin to recognize the names of players, corporations, and alliances and can roughly estimate how much trouble you might find in a given system.
