| - | *Probably the second most important tool is the **[[training:game_mechanics:directional_scanner|Directional Scan]]** you have. It allows you to scan for objects in a 360° angle and a maximum range of 14.3 AU, which translates to 2,139,249,551km (so a whole f*cking lot). It is advised to keep it open all the time, so you don't have to take the extra step of opening it when you need it. | + | |
| - | *You may want to use an Overview Preset (marked green in the image to the right) to filter for certain types (marked blue) of objects. | + | * Probably the second most important tool is the **[[:training:game_mechanics:directional_scanner|Directional Scan]]** you have.

It is advised to keep it open all the time, so you don't have to take the extra step of opening it when you need it. Also, pressing the dscan hotkey (default v) opens the dscan window (if it wasn't already open) and immediately initiates a scan. |

| *[[training:guides:intelligence|Intelligence]]*, or Intel for short, is a great tool, but depends very much on others to work well.

| - | Unlike warp disrupters, **[[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:warp_disruption|warp scramblers]]** will disable MWDs, MJDs, & MJFGs at the expense of activation range. They make burning back to gate in an MWD ship significantly slower. | + | *Unlike warp disrupters, **[[eve:pvp:electronic_warfare:warp_disruption|warp scramblers]]** will disable MWDs, MJDs, & MJFGs at the expense of activation range.

| - | Gives your ship a significant speed boost, but can use a lot of capacitor. Also can be shut down by warp scramblers and scripted warp disruption field generators. On smaller ships, **[[eve:ship_modules:propulsion_mid_module:microwarpdrives|MWDs]]** will increase your time to warp.

| ====Perches==== | ====Perches==== | ||
| - | **[[training:game_mechanics:tactical_bookmark|Perches]]** are BMs that are over 150km from your destination that allow you to scout it out before committing. These allow you to warp 150km+ above a gate or station to see if it's camped, then warp down to it to continue on your journey. Perches can also be used to avoid gate bubbles so that you don't have to slowboat to a gate. | + | *[[training:game_mechanics:tactical_bookmark|Perches]]* are BMs that are over 150km from your destination that allow you to scout it out before committing.

| - | *Station docking radius's vary greatly. Some stations you can undock and still remain in docking range for several km, yet on others you will be out of docking range almost immediately upon undock. This can be a problem when undocking around hostiles, as you can be bumped, webbed, or blapped before you are able to get back within docking range. Creating instant-undock BMs (or using corp BMs) can ensure you can escape a non-bubbled station camp. Insta-undocks must be over 150+km away from and within a straight line of the undock. Your ship will instantly warp before the enemy can target you, and then you can safely warp off. Insta-undocks can also be used for scouting on the way to the station. | + | *Station docking radii vary greatly.

| *The docking radius for a station varies depending on its physical model. It is possible to exit warp yet still be several km from docking, which can result in you getting blapped by enemies camping the station. In order to prevent this, create a BM (or use your corp BM) that is at 0km and well within the docking radius (but not inside the physical model, which could cause a bad bump). Now you can warp to the station at 0km every time, and safely spam dock. | *The docking radius for a station varies depending on its physical model.
