*Use bubbles to catch anyone warping from gates. You can place catch bubbles at 100km off the belt by simply warping to the belt from a gate at 100km. This will catch anyone not in an interceptor from trying to land a quick tackle on you. They might choose to warp to a celestial or station first, however that added time is all you need to warp off from the belt.

*Pay attention! Mining in NullSec is not an AFK activity. If you do not pay attention, you will die. If not by players, it will be by the belt rats.

*Never warp direct to an asteroid/ice belt. Create a couple of tactical bookmarks and warp to them first. If a neutral or hostile pilot suddenly appears in local while you are in mid warp to the belt it may give you a chance to warp away from the belt again, especially as the other pilot will probably be in grid before you get there.

The second threat is from the belt rats. Due to the much lower security status of NullSec systems, the belts rats are much tougher than those occupying the belts in HiSec and often include multiple battleship spawns. Capital ships can also spawn in NullSec belts which, when not paying attention, will end very badly for the miner. The belt rats and the required tank needed to survive them heavily affect the ships and fittings we use to mine, however they are not a problem 99% of the time. If anyone does find a capital ship occupying a belt, be sure to mention it in mumble and fleet chat. You are in mumble and the standing fleet, right?
