==== Bubbles ====

Warp Disruption Fields, lovingly referred to as bubbles, are often used in Null-Sec to catch neutrals. They will prevent you, or anyone else, from entering warp. To ensure that you don't find yourself caught in a bubble at the wrong time, always use gate tactical bookmarks when moving between systems—especially in a PvE-fit ship. To get the latest news about bubbles, keep watching the NSC intel chat channel and the NSC standing fleet chat, and ask on Mumble if you're unsure.

==== Intel and safety ====

NSC maintains a fairly reliable system for reporting the imminent presence of potentially-hostile pilots. See [[Null-Sec Campus#Communication|the details]] on the NSC's page. As a rule of thumb, the following are valuable alertness and safety precautions:

** Local is an excellent warning system, and if possibly-hostile pilots slip past Intel, you will learn about them when they enter the system and appear in Local's member list. Safeguard your ship immediately on seeing a neutral in Local.

** Many pilots find it useful to run Local vertically at one side of their screen so they can see a maximum-length member list and spot new people entering it.

* Be on [[Mumble]] in the general NSC channel.

** Being on Mumble makes it ''much'' easier for you to call for help quickly and clearly.

* {{sk|Connections}} - 0.4 standing increase per level trained. With III trained, you can bypass the L1 grind altogether.

* {{sk|Social}} - 5% bonus to standing increases per level. Makes the grind faster.

==== Mission Agents ====

Now that you have the skills, lets take a look at where to run these missions. You can run L1/2/3 missions within the NSC backpocket from the system of T22-QI, which is a dead end system one jump from the NSC home system of PC9-AY, using the following Intaki Syndicate Agents. Nearly all your missions will happen in T22-QI, however the odd mission will happen in PC9-AY. It is extremely rare that a mission will be further than 1 jump, although it can happen.

==== Fitting Examples ====

For Alpha Clones wishing to use the Algos fit, you will need to buy Faction Drones rather than the T2 if you want to push for maximum DPS. Faction Drones are expensive though, it is wise to wait until you are confident enough with managing drone agro first (or remembering not to leave them behind!) before spending the extra ISK. Once you get the hand of things, you will soon be able to afford the extra cost.

== Burner Missions ==

Anomic Missions, more commonly known as Burner Missions, are a special subset of L4 missions that have unique features compared to the standard L4 Missions. Burner Missions have players facing either a single NPC, or a small gang of NPCs, who are extremely powerful rather than the typical hoards of Battleships that those who run the Standard L4s are used to. These NPCs have similar stats to a player flying a pirate faction ship, with an officer/deadspace fitting, pirate implants and full command links. In short, they are extremely dangerous. All these NPCs will use warp distruption, with the majority being fitted with warp scramblers to shut down players MWDs. If one of these NPCs catches you, much like if a hostile player catches you, you are in for a rough time. There are three different varieties of Burner Missions:

* Anomic Agent - A single, very powerful pirate frigate

* Anomic Base - 4 unique missions against a small number of powerful ships such as battlecruisers, cruisers, frigates and super carrier fighter waves

The other catch to Burner Missions is that they have restrictions on ship sizes. Anomic Agent and Anomic Team missions can only be completed in Frigate-sized ships. These can be either T1, Faction or T2 Frigates. In the case of the Anomic Base missions, this is increased up to medium-sized (anything up to T1 Battlecruiser) ships.

==== NSC Small Gang Fleet Training ====

Because these missions provide not only a decent payout, but a great opportunity to practice team work, the NSC uses Burner Missions as a way to provide reliable content to practice Fleet Ops. In a small gang of between four and six, aspiring FCs can practice moving a fleet through hostile space and broadcasting targets in the sites, aspiring scouts get the change to practice moving ahead of the fleet looking for both gate camps and potential PvP combat, Logi pilots can practice staying out of danger while responding to requests for repairs from fleet members, and the damage dealers in the fleet can practice listening to fleet commands and how to broadcast for repairs on time.

Below are a number of recommended fits. You'll note that these fits are predominantly Amarr ships. This is because Amarr have a really strong T2 line of frigates, the Malediction many consider to be the best Fleet Interceptor and also the Purifier being considered the best Stealth Bomber, and therefore we recommend Amarr Frigates V is the first racial frigate skill that campus members take to V. As stated earlier though, members are free to fly any ship that they wish provided it has a armour buffer tank, ideally T2.
