** Covetors are a ganker's target of choice due to its inadequate tank and advertises, "I have ''no'' tank, only yield"

** Fit enough tank (and train tanking skills) to survive the ganker's DPS long enough for CONCORD to destroy the ganker; as of Rubicon 1.2, this means surviving a Catalyst's 728.2 DPS for 20 seconds--14,564 Void damage--in a 0.6 system (No Covetor fit can tank long enough in 0.5, even with all level V skills)

** Use and keep launched ECM drones

*** This lets gankers know that you are expecting them and implies you are tanked for them; this is deterrence

*** This provides a chance to break the ganker's target lock for 20 seconds

*** Setting drones to aggressive lets them engage your aggressor without having to target-lock first [https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Controlling_drones_(Guide)#Aggressive CCP Drone Guide]

** Fitting expensive meta modules may compel a duo gank due to their high-value loot chance

** Trade hubs (especially Hek) and ice belt systems are popular hunting grounds for gankers

* Mine aligned to a celestial/station for faster warp-out

** Warping out when a non-mining ship enters your belt/anomaly is prudent

** Other mining ships may be scouts for gankers; it is good to know who your neighbours are and put known gankers on your contact list with terrible standing

* Mining in a fleet--even just two miners--provides boosts with [https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Leadership Leadership skill] and [https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Mining_Foreman Mining Foreman]

* It is impolite (and diminishes yield) to mine a rock someone else is already mining: when the rock runs out of ore, the first laser to cycle will get the last ore but the other lasers will continue to cycle (up to 3 minutes) and get nothing
