War Targets are especially dangerous, because, if you can see them, then they can see you, and they will probably be motivated to come look for you. If you see a War Target, you probably should call in your drones, stop your lasers and dock at a nearby station. This is inconvenient, but a Venture will not hold up against a serious combat ship. | War Targets are especially dangerous, because, if you can see them, then they can see you, and they will probably be motivated to come look for you.

Single Professional Criminals make a living from the loot they collect by killing ships. Since you have a small mining frigate, your loot is probably not worth the effort. Amateur Criminals, on the other hand, are looking to practice their skills, and these may attack you. Idiot Criminals are either too angry or too stupid to realize that attacking small ships in secure systems is a losing proposition ... they are infrequent, but there's no way to predict them. | Single Professional Criminals make a living from the loot they collect by killing ships.

If you see a single Criminal in the Chat list, you can probably just keep mining while increasing your use of the Directional Scanner. As long as you don't see Combat Probes or groups of ships nearby, you are likely to be safe. | If you see a single Criminal in the Chat list, you can probably just keep mining while increasing your use of the Directional Scanner.
