Our overview is our eyes in EvE, aka Everyone versus Everyone. As you should have done by now, you have set up a few overview tabs. http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Overview if not. For this class and practical, we'll be using PvP Travel and Pod saver. | Our overview is our eyes in EvE, aka Everyone versus Everyone.

The overview quickly tells us what ships are on grid with us | The overview quickly tells us what ships are on grid with us, their distance, who they're yellowboxing/redboxing, their speed and velocity in regards to us, names, corps and alliance. An interceptor at 120km burning away isn't a threat for some seconds, one at 40km burning towards is. | ||
D-scan can give you information on anything within 14.4 AU. 1 AU = 150 000 000 km = 150Million km. The exception is cloaked ships. | D-scan can give you information on anything within 14.4 AU. 1 AU = 150 000 000 km = 150Million km. The exception is cloaked ships. | ||
Grid is the local arena of space, roughly 300km in diameter. It is possible to burn away and be offgrid, at roughly 350-450 km and not show up on the overview of people at the gate. It's an involved subject. http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Grid_Manipulation goes into it in more detail, but ongrid = overview. offgird = d-scan and probes is enough detail for this class. | |||

An unaligned requires a little more work. First, you need an unaligned spot in space. Now, you could turn and burn with a mwd fit capstable frig. At say, 4k / second * 60 second * 60 minutes = 14400 km / 150 000 000 (1 AU) = 0.000096th of an AU/hour = 0.002304 AU/24 hours = 1 AU/434 days. Not really viable. So, our alternative is using a scanned anomaly (the okay). Warp to it (being careful not to be shot by the rats or pilots who may be there), then to either a celestial, or another anomaly, and drop more bookmarks. This is acceptable, but still has a degree of underwear sharing, as other pilots may have done the same. Leaving the bookmark for several weeks or months, will filter out a lot of sharing, but three's an even better method that works in most Empire space. | An unaligned requires a little more work.

Mission spots! Generated randomly, out of line with the planets. Check the agent finder, dock where there's a security agent that you can access (level 1s and 2s are the best, as they'll mostly be in the same system). You don't even need to accept, just keep the conversation open, warp to the bookmark and boom! There's step 1. Grab another, step 2. Warp, bookmark, and you're moxious. Of course, check the starmap. Still d-scannable | Mission spots! Generated randomly, out of line with the planets.

In systems without agents or stations, | In systems without agents or stations, another method is to warp between 2 aligned safe spots and bookmark. A little more time and effort intensive, but quite safe. | ||
Undocks require a bit more time and preparation, but vital to avoid station camps, especially when carrying something expensive out of a trade hub (although why you're doing that, is entirely upon you). Simply undock in a fast frigate, turn on the mwd and put your feet on the desk. When you've gotten a few hundred, thousand k's away, bookmark, warp to the station, dock, undock and warp to the bookmark. Congrats! Your plex hauler is safe from that station camp! | Undocks require a bit more time and preparation, but vital to avoid station camps, especially when carrying something expensive out of a trade hub (although why you're doing that, is entirely upon you).

Offgrid bookmarks are possibly the quickest to set up. Simply warp to the celestial (again, gate for example) and as you get close to it (under an AU, maybe under 10 000 km) bookmark. Voila, next time you can warp to it and check the gate without being on grid via d-scan. | Offgrid bookmarks are possibly the quickest to set up.

Deep safes are more then 14 AU away from any celestial, which makes it more difficult to find on D-scan. Still findable with probes, especially Deep Space probe (hence the name) | |||

Anytime you're predictable, you're stuffing your head in a noose, hand in a dark crevice ****** need a third. And one day, it'll get lopped off, by anything from a gank fleet, to a smartbombing battleship or *scare chord* a warp bubble. Warping between gates is the epitome of predictable. If they could justify it fictionwise, there'd be space highways with billboards in the rancer system. | Anytime you're predictable, you're stuffing your head in a noose, hand in a dark crevice ****** need a third.
