It's highly advisable that you use the [http://eve-gatecheck.space/eve/ GateCampCheck Website] input your intended route and look for any red systems, If you do see any dangerous systems add that to the avoid list and generate a new route. Once you have a route you are comfortable with mimic the route in-game and away you go. | It's highly advisable that you use the [http://eve-gatecheck.space/eve/ GateCampCheck Website] input your intended route and look for any red systems, If you do see any dangerous systems add that to the avoid list and generate a new route.

==What Ship Should I Bring?== | |||
Anything you're willing to lose! For a newbie, this is typically a tech 1 combat frigate. There are people in everything from frigates to battleships and the occasional strategic cruiser, although the current meta of the game favours cruiser fleets. Whatever you bring, you should ensure that that your ship is ready for PVP. | |||
===Your first visit=== | |||
The ideal ship for a first visit is a frigate, equipped with a MWD. The first time you come out to camp you can ask in the LSC Mumble channel, or in the "LSC (EVE Uni)" chat channel, if anyone can use their bookmarks to scout the route in for you and check it for hostiles, or gate camps etc. As well as this, they can evaluate and provide advice about your fit. Once you are in system, it is suggested to make a lot of tactical bookmarks upon arrival - just like any other PvP location. It is suggested that you make station dock/undock bookmarks in Eugales, but also the gates and asteroid belts you rat in. This also applies to any surrounding systems you frequent for ratting, PI, or the like. Once you've made your bookmarks feel free to take in any ships you want to fight in. You might want to hold off on taking your industrial anywhere near the LSC until you get the hang of things, and even then only if you're ready for it to be ripped apart by pirates. | |||
If you're looking for an explanation why a frigate is ideal, it is to do with the unique features of low-sec; as long as you are in a ship that can align quickly, you should largely be safe warping gate to gate without the use of tactical bookmarks on stargates, as there are no disruption bubbles and only ships with disruptor modules can stop you. It can align fast, and if you jump into something bad, the MWD will assist you in jumping back out of gatecamps, and travelling on-grid to positions to make tactical bookmarks. | |||

Newbro Guidance: When engaged in activities other than PvP, keep a close eye on local at all times. Pull local out of your chats and stretch it out top-to-bottom so you can see all the names (change the settings to show compact list). Before undocking, assess everyone in local, and I mean everyone. If you spot an unknown individual, look at the security status, look at the corp, and assume the worst. If you aren't sure, station spin, ask for advice in channel or consider PvP activities. If everyone in local is safe, undock. Press Ctrl-A to highlight everyone in local so that you can easily spot newcomers. Stay aligned to station as much as possible. Assess any newcomer to the system and if you aren't sure, warp out immediately. A newcomer may very well be scanning quickly through the plexes and belts looking for targets for their roaming fleet waiting in the system next door. If you want to better understand what is going on, participate in a few of our own roams and you will get an idea. | Newbro Guidance: When engaged in activities other than PvP, keep a close eye on local at all times.
