=== High Security space doesn't mean "Safe space" ===

The best thing you can do for yourself is get the idea, or assume, that "High Security" space means you should be safe, out of your head. It's the wrong assumption. The moment you undock your ship you are consenting to PvP. The only thing High Security space provides you as a potential target is that your attacker has more challenges to account for should they decide to attack you (unless you're already a legitimate target to them, in other words you're [[~~:Category:Eve_Lexicon~~#Flashy | "flashy"]] to them). CONCORD exists to punish the attacker in High Sec, not to provide you protection. Your protection is completely up to you, in your fit, where and when you do certain activities, and what precautions you take, or don't take. Many losses that occur happen simply due to the lack of taking some basic precautions or exercising some basic practices to minimize the risk. Learn these things, put them into practice. If you take a gamble to forego a precaution or practice you're only increasing the odds that you'll suffer an unwanted loss.
