==What Ship Should I Bring?==

Anything you're willing to lose! There are people in everything from frigates to battleships and the occasional strategic cruiser. ~~However~~, you should ensure that that your ship is ready for PVP~~. Ask about your fit if you want any suggestions~~.

Anything you're willing to lose! For a newbie, this is typically a tech 1 combat frigate. There are people in everything from frigates to battleships and the occasional strategic cruiser, although the current meta of the game favours cruiser fleets. Whatever you bring, you should ensure that that your ship is ready for PVP.

~~The~~ first ~~time you come out to camp you can ask in the LSC Mumble channel, or in the LSC.E-Uni chat channel, if anyone can scout the route in for you and check it for hostiles, or gate camps etc.~~

===Your first visit===

~~It's~~ a ~~good idea to bring~~ a ~~fast~~ frigate ~~for two reasons; one~~, a ~~fast frigate is difficult~~ to ~~catch moving from gate~~ to gate on your ~~first trip~~ in and ~~two~~, you'll want to ~~create some tactical bookmarks~~ in the LSC and ~~adjacent systems upon arrival. A frigate equipped with a microwarpdive is an excellent ship~~ to ~~do this in~~.

The ideal ship for a first visit is a frigate, equipped with a MWD. The first time you come out to camp you can ask in the LSC Mumble channel, or in the LSC.E-Uni chat channel, if anyone can use their bookmarks to scout the route in for you and check it for hostiles, or gate camps etc. As well as this, they can evaluate and provide advice about your fit. Once you are in system, it is suggested to make a lot of tactical bookmarks upon arrival - just like any other PvP location. It is suggested that you make station dock/undock bookmarks in Uphallant, but also the gates and asteroid belts you rat in. This also applies to any surrounding systems you frequent for ratting, PI, or the like. Once you've made your bookmarks feel free to take in any ships you want to fight in. You might want to hold off on taking your industrial anywhere near the LSC until you get the hang of things, and even then only if you're ready for it to be ripped apart by pirates.

~~Once~~ you'~~ve made your bookmarks feel free~~ to ~~take~~ in ~~any ships~~ you ~~want~~ to ~~fight in.

If you're looking for an explanation why a frigate is ideal, it is to do with the unique features of low-sec; as long as you are in a ship that can align quickly, you should largely be safe warping gate to gate without the use of tactical bookmarks on stargates, as there are no disruption bubbles and only ships with disruptor modules can stop you. It can align fast, and if you jump into something bad, the MWD will assist you in jumping back out of gatecamps, and travelling on-grid to positions to make tactical bookmarks.
