*It is also important that you change the name of your ship(s) from the default they are given when you assemble them. The default contains your name and the ship name, and it makes it easy for the enemy when using D-Scan to identify you and the ship you are in.

=== Pod Saving ===

In the event that you may lose your ship you want to be prepared to mitigate the situation by being able to save your pod. You'll need a Pod Saver Overview tab with a proper Pod Saver preset loaded into it. Please see our guide on [[How to save your Pod]].

=== Knowledge and use of timers ===

There are various timers you need to be aware of. These can be used to your advantage to help you avoid needless losses through giving you time to assess a situation and/or escape enemies and buy you some escape time.

*Undock invulnerability will give you 30 seconds to make a decision to either dock back up, or warp to a bookmarked insta-undock point. It's important you do nothing other than stop your ship the moment you undock (use ctrl-spacebar) otherwise you will move well beyond the docking ring. Any other action you make will cause you to lose that invulnerability.

*Gate cloak. When you jump through a stargate you will have 60 seconds of cloak after you land. If you do anything such as align, move, warp-to, etc., (using modules is prevented by the gate cloak) you will lose this cloak. You should use that cloak time to assess local and d-scan the system.

*Weapons timer. The moment someone uses an offensive module a 60 second weapons timer comes into effect, and it will count down the moment the offensive action stops, which prevent session changes from occurring such as docking up or using a stargate. If you are aggressed you can use this to your advantage to escape and make use of that 60 seconds to put distance between you. It's very important that you do not aggress or otherwise you won't be able to use this timer to your advantage.

You can review the complete information on the wiki page about [[Timers]].
