Don't be afraid of losing ships, but at the same time try not to make too many stupidly expensive mistakes. EVE Online has a simple rule: "Don't fly what you can't afford to lose". EVE Online is not a safe place, even in Hig Security systems, players can blow up your ship and your capsule. [[CONCORD]] is not there to protect you, it's there to provide consequences in the event of criminal actions.

EVE Online is not a safe place, even in [[System_security#High_security|High Security]] systems, players can blow up your ship and your capsule. [[CONCORD]] is not there to protect you, it's there to provide consequences in the event of criminal actions. Here are a couple of links to some [[Tips_for_New_Players|tips]] and [[Tips_and_Tricks|tricks]] that will help you survive.


EVE University is often at war and there are some ships that are best flown on an [[Alternate_characters|alt]] to avoid the unnecessary risk. The same goes for visiting [[Trade Hubs]], these are often camped by both [http://www.eveuniversity.org/audio_classes/Disco%20Uncertainty%20-%20The%20Dark%20Side%20of%20Eve.mp3 gankers] and [[Corporation_diplomacy#Wars|war targets]], using an [[Moving_your_items|OOC Hauler]] and reading the advice for [[Hauling|Haulers]] can remove a lot that risk for just a little effort. Another thing that can help considerably is most campuses have access to the [[Hauling_Department|Hauling Service]] and also have a [[Buyback_Program|Buy-Back Program]], both of these things can make your life a lot simpler and avoid painfully expensive losses while trying to haul things to or from the market.
