===How to get to Aldrat, aka Space is like, big===

So, we're beginning with the bare bones basics - how to get to our cradle, our home, our mothership, our refuge in times of a single docked war target in local who is probably asleep and afk (SDWTILWIPAAA). Alt E, open people and place. Search Type by Solar System, tap in Aldrat. Right click aldrat, set destination. Time to start chugging, space pilot capsuleer dude person. But wait, there's more then one station in Aldrat? Oh no Bernard! Crisis! Click info on Aldrat, tab to orbital bodies, scroll down to Planet IX, click info on Aldrat IX - Pator Tech school, set destination. As you can see, the autoroute has changed from a + to a square. This means that it's no longer a system destination, but a station in a system destination. The other way is to fly to Aldrat, right click in space and dock at the desired station. Huzzah, you've taken your first step into a larger world. Have you typing GF after ganking some plexhauler in no time.

Our overview is our eyes in EvE, aka Everyone versus Everyone. As you should have done by now, you have set up a few overview tabs. http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Overview if not. For this class and practical, we'll be using PvP Travel and Pod saver.

Grid is the local arena of space, roughly 300km in diameter. It is possible to burn away and be offgrid, at roughly 350-450 km and not show up on the overview of people at the gate. It's an involved subject. http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Grid_Manipulation goes into it in more detail, but ongrid = overview. offgird = d-scan and probes is enough detail for this class.

*Best place for observation is outside transit routes

*Or just get within 100km of gate at 'look at' the gate

===Why not to stay aligned===

There are obviously things to do in a wormhole, but beyond this class's scope. Suffice to say, that the rules are very different (warp bubbles, for one) and there is a very real danger of being podded.

===Gate camps, or How I learned to stop worrying and love being bombed===

If you do get popped, congrats! Now it gets serious. Thanks to the 30 second timer, you're unlikely to be able to jump before they pop you. Warp to a bookmark, or a celestial. Just warp, and dock if there's a few stations. Get that rookie ship (or check the market for a shuttle at non-exorbitant price). Just because they caught you once, won't stop them catching you again. Comment on your loss, pass the info on, and log off. Boredom tank is very effective, and gives you a chance to evaluate and plan. Only crash the gate if youre confident and have nothing to lose

===The Eve map ===

As a combat scout, ideally you want to check the beacons and belts for activity. Either by combat probing, or warping to or near the beacon and using D-scan. Docking at stations to find out if they're docked is another use.

===Travelling the scariest place of all - High Sec!===

Some slight differences between the ships. The Amarr magnate has more lows, but tighter cpu, necessitating using one of those lows for a fitting mod. The Minmatar probe and gallente imicus has one less low, but *just* enough cpu to squeak through, plus enough mids for cap mods. The Caldari Heron has one less low, more mids for the cap, and yet not enough CPU to fit a shield tank - a definite master of none. So, balancing align times it's the probe, imicus, then magnate and last the heron.

===From the forge to your door - Couriers===

Simple courier contracts is another good option. 100K/jump near trade hubs, 2-300k/jump out in the boonies gets it moved. Set the collateral above the cost of the items (20% minimum, 150% might take longer to get picked up), and cross your fingers for a ganking. Profit!
