====Smartbombing====

Smartbombs are a high slot module, often fitted to Battleships, that deal an area of effect damage. The benefit that smartbombs provide to Gate Campers is that they do not need to lock a target to damage their target. A Gate Camper will often sit with their Battleship aligned between two Gates and use D-Scan to tell when a weaker target is in warp to them, such as a Shuttle or a Frigate. They are one of the main reasons why we do not recommend using a Shuttle to travel to the NSC as you can be killed instantly. Another benefit for Gate Campers is that Smartbombs will also kill the targets pod before they can warp out. The two main ways to avoid Smartbombing is to use tactical [[bookmarks]] so that you do not land in the area of effect, and to ensure that you have at least a little tank fitted to your ship to survive should you somehow still find yourself inside the damage area.

====Travel Advisory====

*[[Gatecamps|Gatecamps with Bubbles]] exist '''everywhere''' in Null Sec!! Do not fly directly from one gate to another, always use [[Bookmark#Tactical_Bookmarks|Tactical Bookmarks]] or bounce off a celestial to avoid them.

Please do not attempt to move to the campus unless you are already accepted into Eve University, blue to the Ivy League alliance or you understand the risk of losing your ship and your pod to pilots from the Ivy League and/or other threats in the area, as we are a Not Blue Shoot It community. It is highly recommended that you come to the campus with an [[Introduction to the NullSec Campus|Intro to the NSC]] fleet if you find one being run, although everyone is free to travel by themselves if they choose to. The Introduction Fleet will explain in detail, as part of the lesson, how to travel safely in Null Sec. When in doubt, please ask in NSC Standing Fleet chat, the NSC.E-Uni [[Chat Channels and Mailing Lists|chat channel]], or in [[Mumble]] for advice or an escort. We will help you get to us.
