  • Bring any ship that you can fit with an Expanded Probe Launcher and Combat Probes, no need of Tech II or Tech III gear.

Additional information:
This is a PRACTICAL class hosted at EVE-Uni's NullSec Campus that has all the inherent risks of NullSec space.

The practical session is designed to keep pilots as safe as possible, nonetheless, you must travel in and out of PC9-AY, therefore, mind your travel, in NullSec do not directly warp gate to gate, especially if you have pilots listed in Local chat. So, from the in-gate (gate you enter a system) warp to a celestial close to the out-gate (gate to exit the system), quickly check D-Scan, look for ships at the gate and bubbles (a interdiction mechanism that affects your warp engine and make your ship come out of warp), if you see none, you can warp to the out-gate and repeat the procedure. If you find ships like Stiletto, Saber, Flycatcher, Eris, it is a good indication that a gatecamp is taking place. If this happens, change your route, but first dock-up to plan your new route, you can also ask NSC fellows in Standing Fleet for help they can guide you or scout the systems in your path.

Also, to minimize the risk of getting caught in a gatecamp, fly a Shuttle, they are immune to bubbles (warp disruptors).

Finally use EVE Gatecamp to check if the Systems in your path (in and out of PC9-AY) are clear of kills, but, be careful, this is does not guarantee that the systems and the gates are clear of gatecamps, so, mind your travel.

See you at NSC!!

I'd like to take the opportunity to publicly thank Raas Caslo for giving this class. I attended it and it was a great practical lesson into an important PvP skill. Being shown the scanning with all the tips and tricks from an experienced user was enlightening and then trying it out ourselves (including a bit of a contest) was great fun. Can recommend to others!
