Eve is a dangerous game and there are more ways to die in it than moons, planets and suns in any given region.

The following guidelines are meant to teach old and new players how to be more successful at stayin' alive in Eve and specifically Nullsec.

The most important tool at your disposal is the local chat. While the chat can be ignored most of the time, the window that shows users in system is priceless.

Three reasons making it so damn awesome:

• Shows every single character as soon as he/she lands in system
• Covers the whole system, not restricted by any distance
• Can not be fooled by cloaking devices or any other ship specific boni

Like almost everything in Eve there is one exception though, which is Wormhole Space. One of the reasons why Wormhole Space is considered dangerous, is because people will only show up in local when they used the chat. Considering how vital local is for survival, this is a major disadvantage.
