Tips & Tricks

The event is easily doable in a simple shuttle. Thus even brand new characters can participate. Alternatives are T1 frigates or interceptors which are fitted for fast align (sub 2s) and warp speed. You can pile a stack of shuttles in Luminaire, set your homestation there too, and self destruct every time you reach the destination. This means you save the time to travel back.

The routes with LowSec or NullSec systems are often camped right now. Check http://eve-gatecheck.space for camps. Don't warp directly to gates which are likely to be camped. Ping of a planet to change the incoming angle, so that you won't be smartbombed. A tactical bookmark at the gate is of course even better. In NullSec you can additionally expect bubbles. Thus a bubble immune ship (like an interceptor) is preferable.
