That's why many fit microwarp drives for travel.<BR/><BR/>Jumping into highsec from lowsec, you just need to jump from the gate. Try warping to the gate, click 'add as next waypoint', then click autopilot - you'll be dragged through the gate and stop on the other side.<BR/><BR/>Hope they help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201285385835181355.post-77659147977925412982007-07-17T23:44:00.000-04:002007-07-17T23:44:00.000-04:00CrazyK,That's an excellent idea...I think I'm goin...CrazyK,<BR/><BR/>That's an excellent idea...I think I'm going to start doing exactly what you do with the Local window...thanks! :)<BR/><BR/>Rick,<BR/><BR/>I totally agree. If there's anything I've learned about playing this game, it's that a healthy dose of paranoia can be a lifesaver. Too many times I've thought just as you say and paid for it. The cost of death in this game is just too high to do otherwise. Also, I'd suggest to you that just the fact that you're thinking about it makes it less likely that you'll actually make that mistake in-game. Of course, by no means is it a preventative but I'd suggest doing as CrazyK does and keep Local up as a reminder. Now that I've got my Myrm fitted and ready to run missions again (more on this next post) I've resolved to make a habit of it.<BR/><BR/>BekkaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460371931587118403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201285385835181355.post-51703088760723044392007-07-17T15:43:00.000-04:002007-07-17T15:43:00.000-04:00I was listening to corp chat last night, and it's ...I was listening to corp chat last night, and it's a shame when people fall for tricks or traps. I've been lucky enough not to get fooled by anyone yet, but I'm sure my day is coming. <BR/><BR/>I'm incredibly paranoid in lowsec. I probably would have done the same thing you did, although I suspect I may have to learn that lesson the hard way. I can see myself thinking "Well, if I can just get out of this system back into highsec, I'll be fine....boom."<BR/><BR/>I just hope I'm stupid in a frigate, not in a battlecruiser.<BR/><BR/>In fact, "Stupid in a Frigate" has potential as a future blog post title.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201285385835181355.post-47475846986398569162007-07-17T10:50:00.000-04:002007-07-17T10:50:00.000-04:00**Stamp slams down on official document: NO LONGER...**Stamp slams down on official document: NO LONGER N00B**<BR/><BR/>Kidding aside, having local up is always a good thing. I myself keep the local window separate from the other chat windows so that I can always monitor it.<BR/><BR/>As for logging off, congrats on knowing when to pull out. You most likely avoided being podded that night.CrazyKinuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17787815504812195151noreply@blogger.com
