Wormholes

You'll need friends or alts if you want to prevent ganks with more than you're already doing.

Always make sure you've scanned the entire system.
Have cloaked scouts on all the WH connections.
Keep combat probes out and scanning for new ship signatures.
If there is an active POS, have a cloaked scout there to watch for new logins.

Remember that dscan only has a 14AU range, so anything outside of that will be invisible to you.
A good combat prober can get your position in a single scan so if you're not hitting dscan every couple seconds there is a chance you could be missing the probes.

watch dscan

You can't.
This game is centered around pvp and there is no such thing as a pve safe-haven.

Quite hard to defend yourself against incoming ganks. As everything wormhole, Intel/Recon is vital.

When running sites in one of those holes, you should know how many exits it has and if you can cover all relevant ones (i.E. every active that is not a frigate hole). If you can't keep eyes on each hole and watch your probe scanner, then there is no way of ensuring safety.
If you're getting tackled by cloaky Tengus, do the following:

- Drop mobile depot in site when you start it (together with your tractor unit)
- Once Tengu decloaks, refit warpcore stabs
- warp out to a safe or a moon, the highsec is very likely bubbled

Everything you fly will eventually get killed, the trick is to make enough money that when it happens it is just a business expense. Yes watch d-scan. But also if you are high sec diving base yourself away from high traffic areas (derelik, khandid region, anywhere your entry systems are fairly empty will get you less visitors. You cant control where all the exits are but you can stack the deck a bit. Also skip the silly warp stabs and instead put a medium micro jump on that drake, that will get you away from some tacklers. Mostly just keep at it and watch dscan.

Stay aligned as much as possible doesnt matter what too switch it up as well.

When they unlcloak unless they are a bomber they have a 6 second wait time before they can even lock you so if aligned you can warpout every time.

Well the problem is that
1. I got to move , or I either dont catch up with BS or when a new wave spawns I get out of range and have to tank alot before they come. And until I have aligned and warped, I can watch the wonderfull blue bubble of doom.

If you have a cloaky watching you constantly moving can be a pain for him to get close enough to jump you. maybe drop the target painter for a medium micro jump drive, and occasionally bounce around potentially putting you another 50km away from that cloaky ganker

Z060 is a 0sec static...unless im lucky i wont survive in 0sec until i find a repair facility.

Good info in the thread so far.

At the risk of cutting off a kill in my future, a few other things.

PvE in PvP ships if you can. Take a look around for Drake (if you want to continue on Drakes) fits that are a bit more offensively oriented. You will probably die still but you can at least attempt to take a couple with you.

Flying ships that aren't automatically assumed to be PvE ships. Drakes are PvE Ships, it's the rep it has. Flying other ships can give people pause, make them have to change up what they'd like to be flying. The only requirement for PvE is that it can do the site inside a time period that won't cause actual bodily self harm. I use a Retribution for C2 sites. I'm sure if you ask nicely in his advice column Trinket will help you out with some ideas.

Prop mods are good, use one.
Skill up and start T2'ing those modules up.
If you haven't trained it yet, go buy Thermodynamics now and train it to 3 at minimum, no exceptions. You see someone come to kill you, you overheat everything. Every small boost in capability is important. Heat is love, Heat is life.

Probably the most useful bit of advice I read when I started out in W space and started Pvp-ing.

TL:DR Decide now what you'll do when someone come calling for your corpse.

Change your overview settings to have "No Standing" as a coloured background. That way they'll clearly stand out on the overview when they come in and will give you an extra couple of seconds.

This'll be controversial but don't fly aligned. Instead stick around the wrecks and junk on grid and keep moving around it. Flying a cloaky close up to a moving target while dodging wrecks is annoying and increases the chance they'll mess it up and decloak in a bad spot. It'll also give you practice at manual piloting which is always fun.
