None of these tradeoffs is insurmountable, as explored in a [[later section]]. Even a casual approach to PI in Nullsec is sufficient to fund or supplement day-to-day activities. | None of these tradeoffs is insurmountable, as explored in a [[later section]].

* '''Any racial shuttle'''. [[Shuttles]] are passively immune to [[Interdictors|bubbles]] and have a rapid time-to-warp. As some PI activities (importing or exporting from POCOs, for example) involve being present in space and in the same system, a shuttle is a viable option for moving between systems with minimal risk. | * '''Any racial shuttle'''.

==Maintaining an Operation== | |||
There are additional considerations and guidelines pilots should heed when conducting PI in dangerous space. | |||
* Cheap ship for initial command centers | |||
* Tethered in space, or sitting on a station for in-space activity | |||
* For station > poco > station, this won't be a problem, but chunky epithal can bump the poco if you make more than one stop and the poco is in the alignment path as warp speed is attained | |||
* Make sure to actually turn on shield hardeners | |||
* You can launch materials while in-warp to poco, if necessary - don't linger | |||
* Use expedited shipping for intraplanet transportation to gather resources in as few launchpads as possible; then, launching while in space takes fewer steps | |||
* If running with multiple alts, stagger their activity to avoid multiple epithals sitting idle; one can scoop from poco while another warps, etc. | |||
* Use bookmarks on pocos, rather than warping to them; bonus points if the bookmark is situated such that you can start aligning as soon as you land, conduct your import or export, then be several seconds closer to warp | |||
* You only need to be at the poco to remove or input material to the poco itself; you can undock in something cheap or tether at a Citadel to conduct the actual import to the planet's surface, if necessary | |||
* Splitting stacks of inputs can make certain operations easier, particularly if running a more advanced factory setup | |||
* Try to have eyes in each system if operating in multiple systems, or at least eyes on the ingate to a pocket | |||
* If operating on a alt, be sure to have the alt join the local standing fleet asap, or apply for the alt to be 'blue' - else you will spook the locals every time they log in | |||
* Some groups will log out or appear out of a wormhole; be warned | |||
* Comms, intel channels, recent kills | |||
* D-Scan and V key | |||
* If you are going down, call it out - and link your killmail | |||
