I like this idea of being a covert ops tourist. I still have some training to get there, and some reading to not biff it too badly, but this sounds like a great way to see the country side on the sly.

You need covops frigate for low sec. Being able to Warp to + Clock instantly as you jump into system makes you really hard to catch and I mean... really hard.

Also, when you jump into system, take your time to look around. You have full minute of stealth and immunity. Time your warp. Check D-scan, check what ships are around you at gate, dont activate warp when there is frigate in your face, wait for it to get distance as they usually like to orbit gate. Check solar map while still sitting in immunity. Pick nice place to warp to and make sure you have bookmark button ready.

In system if you are not alone and lets say there is one or two guys. Check their corps are they same alliance? Check their killmails and you will see what they like to fly and how much PvP they do. Seeing guy with a lot of "Stealth bomber gone exploration" fit kills means he loves to sit in his Nemesis at Relic sites and wait for explorers to appear so he can blow them up.

Keep D-Scan open and keep pinging to see if folks are warping to you while you working on site. See combat probes? Get out instantly or get distance from site while clocked (need covops), it usually means hes already in warp to you.

Never, ever scan while decloacked.

Never jump from gate to gate. I learned it hard way when I was newbie.

For 0.0 you want T3 and a lot of experience to survive in 0.0 even without T3 (otherwise you might lose expensive T3). Immunity to bubbles + covops is just too good to pass.

Learn from trying and failing. Experiment things in cheap ships. Like I wanted to lean more about bubbles in 0.0 and not in T3 ship, I made cheap probe and experimented until I got killed. Lost measly 5 million, learned a LOT.

But overall, have fun! Bear

Sounds like you are getting the hang of it! Have fun! However, if I see you on my route.....poof. When I am in a system, all sites are belong to me.
