You’ll want to keep a jump clone at or near your preferred market to simplify transportation. If your market’s structure doesn’t have a clone bay, look for one at an NPC station in the same system. Carrying valuable cargo (even your enhancers) through ''any'' [[EVE_Lexicon#Stargate|stargate]] in a hub system is asking for trouble; you may as well sprinkle a trail of PLEX behind you! Set instant dock and undock [[Bookmarks|bookmarks]] at both your market and clone bay structures, ''and use them every time''. That should be sufficient precaution to avoid all but the most determined of [[Suicide_ganking|ganks]].

While you’re there, buy your first set of extractors. To determine how many you’ll need, calculate the skill points you anticipate at your first harvest (256,000 base skill points times your crop skill’s multiplier). Divide by 500,000 (the number of skill points required to fill an extractor) and round down. If you buy them on the open market, expect to pay about 356.8M ISK each. Leave them at your preferred market, then install your ‘market’ jump clone. Consider leaving an equipped interceptor (or other appropriate ship) with your jump clone.
