I've learned more from your channel than any of the other eve creators.

the only good use of autopilot, is that you can set a station like Jita 4-4 as your destination, and when you arrive in Jita, after you initiate warp to an insta-dock bookmark you activate autopilot, upon landing at your instadock, autopilot automatically docks you faster than you can normally, in my mind its the only acceptable use of autopilot

I just found your channel. Love the Videos and Tips! I am a huge noob and just moved +1 Billion ISK in Blueprints and Skill Books from Jita to Amar. In a stripped down Coercer. I did not know what the value of my cargo was (I did say I was a noob) until I got to Amar (44 Jumps later). The shear number of Asteros and the one Stratios that uncloaked as I was jumping out along with that Gank corp (Code? something like that) who were in process of taking someone down as I jumped thru made me decide to go figure out the price of what I was carrying and realized just how stoopid and lucky I was.

Your videos are great at explaining what high sec gankers do. They are brilliant! Everyone worried about being ganked needs to watch these. I hope you get the audience you deserve.

Watching your channel over the last 6 months has made me a much different player when it comes to Jita and Amarr. I tank like crazy now. Thanks!

I'm glad I learnt these rules a while ago.

I've got hundreds of bookmarks set, now! You could also mentions bookmarks for anti-Smart Bomb tactics.

The web thing... Get your alt into EAF V and fit an hyena with nanos, sebo, 2x webs.

Hit warp on freighter, use eve-preview to switch windows lock and web. With dual webs your speed to enter warp will be in the low double digits so you'll instawarp.

Unless you meet something pre-setup for you, it's very difficult to catch you. If you don't want to ping the hyena with aggro timer, just fleet warp and generally since you'll match with freighter your timer should be gone.

Also always jump the hyena first. If there are sebo cruisers such as mallers on gates and especially if they're rsebo'ed go take a break. If there's a group of nados, taloses, etc, go take a break.

To avoid the tackle cruiser for catalysts/thrashers and if you have 3 characters, have one in a blackbird, falcon, or what have you accompany the hyena and freighter. These should be loaded with a mix of multispecs and racials or just multispecs. If something does manage to point, lock it, overheat ecms and warp the freighter out since it'll be webbed by hyena. It should instawarp.

These aren't foolproof but make it a lot harder for anyone to catch. Despite knowing all this, the scales are still heavily unbalanced towards gankers. They get to pick what and when to engage and you can't do anything until they decide to. There's no player agency on the target side, only reaction.

I completely agree with these rules, more people need to watch these videos and be educated but I still believe that getting ganked is the best way to learn. Love your work MacGybo :)

for the Web trick... you need to invite to duel for it to work... or the webbing ship goes criminal... and then gets concorded... just putting that out there...

Good Tips... on the cargo expanders when not needed... is just plan laziness... I saw an ARK go down in Uedama... he had reinforced bulkheads as cargo... and 3 cargo expanders.... a 16 Bill Kill only a few weeks ago. It was a Talos gang fleet so chances are he would have gone down anyway... but the laziness didn't help especially when he could have used the jump drive and was probably looking to save fuel...

[BerraLJ]

Love seeing a JF jump into Uedama with gankers active and the ship is empty and fully expanded.
Ohh tip 11 fit your god darn ship, i have experience with what happens when you do not.

Put bookmark on the far side of Jita station but still at zero so you can insta dock when you warp to it. That way, when you warp in you warp to the bookmark, which is 100+km off the main undock. Too far for any ganker. Jita station is huge.

I feel like the original poster was writing this for an elderly version of himself like when he returns to game for eves 50th anniversary 😂😂😂

Oh additionally: use Maurasi to go to Perimeter or back ;)
