== LiveIntel ==

LiveIntel can and will save your life (or someone else's). Make sure this channel is always open during a war - and make sure to check it every time it blinks. Remember - this is not a place to have a discussion or ask questions, but a place to get Intel. When a report pops up, click on the system, and check the "Route" tab to see how far away the WT is. If the WT is within 5-10 jumps, assume that they can (and will) pop into your system at any time. BE PREPARED. When you report, do not get creative, just give as much of the following information as possible (with links if possible as well):

*1. WT Name(s)

*2. WT System

*3. Eyes (you see them on grid or in a station), or No Eyes (You just see them in local)

*4. The ship the WT is flying

= General Survival Tips =

Hi-Sec ~~wars are some of the most~~ dangerous ~~to those caught unaware, as there is the~~ illusion ~~of security in~~ Hi-Sec.

Safety in Hi-Sec is a dangerous illusion - made even more dangerous during Hi-Sec Wars. The following precautions will help mitigate some of that danger and are good habits to be in for even more dangerous space.

~~== LiveIntel ==~~

The general rules of thumb that need to be drilled into EVERYONE'S head are simple:

*1. DO NOT FLY WHAT YOU AREN'T WILLING TO LOSE. Before you undock, ask yourself this question - if I get blapped and podded with what I am flying right now, will I want to quit EVE? Will I want to complain or throw something expensive across the room? If the answer is YES, DO NOT UNDOCK. Fit a cheaper ship :).

~~Make sure~~ to ~~have LiveIntel open~~

*2. IF SOMETHING SEEMS FISHY OR STRANGE; TRUST YOUR GUT. It's better to align out/dock up/cloak up over nothing than it is to ignore your spider sense and get burned for it. You'll feel like a champion if you're right, and if you're wrong, all you've done is lost a couple minutes of time (instead of a couple hours worth of isk grinding).

== D-Scan ==

Have this open and be spamming it as often as you can when in space. This sounds like over-kill, but WTs often use OOC eyes. If you see combat scanner probes in space at any time ASSUME they are a WTs, and that they are soon to jump in on you. Just because the probes disappear doesn't mean the danger is over - they may have a cloaky warp-in on grid with you. D-Scan use is an essential skill and this can help you be in good habits for even more dangerous space.

More info: [[Directional_Scanner_Guide]]

== Saving Your Pod ==

By now you should have set up your overview to Uni specifications, and should have a Pod Saver tab open. If used properly, this will save you from being Podded in almost every situation*.

When you are tackled, and there is no apparent hope (i.e. you are about to go into structure), switch over to your Pod Saver tab and spam the warp hot key (typically 's')+click on one of the celestials. Keep doing this! There is no negative to doing this, and it may register the warp for your pod even before your client recognizes that your ship is no more. This should allow you to warp out before they even have the chance to target you.

One thing that can impact your ability to do this is lag created by the loss mail being sent to you. In order to minimize this impact, go into your mail settings, and turn off all blink/pop up notifications.

*Situations this won't work as well: when bubbled and when being SmartBombed... neither of which are really large problems in Hi-sec wars.
