 **Nullsec**, short for **"Null Security Space"**, comprises every system in EVE that has a security status at or below 0.0. These are the regions of space where wars between the great alliances and coalitions have been fought, and where the powerful pirate factions make their home. There are no ships of CONCORD or one of the major governments ready to come to your aid in null sec, no batteries of heavy guns on the gates that will save you if you are tackled.  **Nullsec**, short for **"Null Security Space"**, comprises every system in EVE that has a security status at or below 0.0.

 +===== Jump Gates, Jump Bridges, and Jump Fatigue ===== 
 +Jump gates have been established throughout Brave space to provide you with a quick means of traversing long distances. However, they have dangers associated with them that could spell disaster for the unaware.
  
-===== Jump Bridges & Fatigue =====+There are jump bridges **and** jump gates; they are not the same. Titans and Black Ops ships can make jump bridges, while The Ansiblex Jump Gate is a POS (player owned structure). Also the Jump Gates do not have any jump fatigue while the jump bridges still have jump fatigue.
  
-Jump bridges have been established throughout Brave and Legacy Coalition space to provide you with a quick means of traversing long distances. However, they have dangers associated with them that could spell disaster for the unaware. +|{{ https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bravecollective/wiki-files/main/imgur/jLrcgMZ.png }}| 
 +|There is a fee associated with the jump gates to cover their cost. This pays for the ozone usage of the gate and you will no longer be prompted to pay the gate fee each time you use a gate. Please head to your wallet and under the Automatic Pay Settings click the box and have it set to 300 ISK. Also you will be charged 300 ISK per volume of your ship not 300 ISK for a single trip. Don't worry a cruiser only costs 63,900 ISK per jump. |
  
 You need to understand the mechanics of **jump fatigue**. Repeated use of jump drives or jump bridges will trigger two cooldowns.  One is a hard cap on when you can jump again, your jump timer. The second is jump fatigue, a timer that increases your hard jump timer each time you make a jump while it's active. You need to understand the mechanics of **jump fatigue**.

-===== Insta-dock/Undock ===== +
 Stations are large. Often, right clicking a station and selecting warp to 0 still won't put you quite within range of the station dock. It can put you as far as 10km out, which is plenty of time for someone to lock onto you and blow you up. Similarly, when you undock and select "Warp to...", it takes a moment for your ship to align to that place before you warp. Again, this is enough time for someone to lock you and blow you up.  Stations are large.

-==== Undocking ==== 
  
 +==== Undocking Procedures ====
 The undock of any station is one of the areas pilots have the greatest false sense of security. You are not safe on the station undock even if there is only one hostile in system. It is important to note that immediately after undocking you are invulnerable and unable to be locked for 30 seconds. Any action taken by you will remove this effect save for completely stopping your ship. If you need to undock with hostiles in system, immediately stop your ship and check your surroundings. If the undock looks clear you are fine to continue, but if the undock is red you can redock after your session timer expires. Currently the session change timer is set for 10 seconds meaning that you will be unable to redock with a station for the first 10 seconds in space. It is imperative that you do not try to redock with a station in these 10 seconds or you will become vulnerable. More advanced undocking techniques are covered in the intermediate section. The undock of any station is one of the areas pilots have the greatest false sense of security.

 Aside from setting up your overview, **tactical bookmarks** are one of the most strategically important steps a pilot can take to prevent death.

Line 75: Line 83:
 Safe spots and tactical perches are more useful in gathering intel on a system than helping you escape. A safe spot works by putting your ship outside of normal vectors between celestials, hopefully limiting the chance of you being scanned. It is important to note that if you're not cloaked you will be found. Tactical perches, on the other hand, serve to let you avoid bubbles as well as allow you to scan gates before you land on them. Safe spots and tactical perches are more useful in gathering intel on a system than helping you escape.

-==== How to create a 'safe' ==== +==== Safe Spot Bookmarks ====
 To create a **safe spot** bookmark in a system, open your People & Places menu. Warp between two fairly wide-spaced celestials, e.g. a stargate and the sun, then while you are in warp click press CTRL+B and 'Submit' to save a spot partway between the two locations. Rename it to "Safe". Now when you right-click in open space the new bookmark will appear in your destinations list and you can warp to it. To create a **safe spot** bookmark in a system, open your People & Places menu.

Rename it to "Safe". Now when you right-click in open space the new bookmark will appear in your destinations list and you can warp to it.
 This creates a very unsafe safe, since it will be in line between the two celestials. To make it harder to find, you can create two of those safes (use different celestials to make them) and then create another one by warping between the two safes (That's the recommended way to make a safe). This creates a very unsafe safe, since it will be in line between the two celestials.

 Note that even though nobody else will be able to warp to your personal safe spot, a ship with Combat Probes will still be able to find you unless you are cloaked. Note that even though nobody else will be able to warp to your personal safe spot, a ship with Combat Probes will still be able to find you unless you are cloaked.
  
-==== How to create a 'perch' ==== +==== Tactical Perch Bookmarks ====
 A **tactical perch** is simply a bookmark in space that is on-grid with a stargate, station, or other celestial object that you want to get a look at without getting too close. Since it is not usually possible to create these in the heat of battle, it is a good idea to make your own perches in systems you expect to be active in. A **tactical perch** is simply a bookmark in space that is on-grid with a stargate, station, or other celestial object that you want to get a look at without getting too close.

-==== Directional Scanner ==== +===== The Directional Scanner =====
 An often underused utility by newbros is the **directional scanner, or "d-scan"**. This tool allows you to know what is around you in space up to 14AU away. The scanner is most useful when used in conjunction with tactical bookmarks allowing pilots to safely navigate around hostiles.  With proper overview settings, you can detect bubbles this way.  If you enter warp before a bubble is active, you will not be caught by that bubble.  Warping within 14 AU of your target stargate and narrow angle D-scanning towards the gate is a good way to stay safe in null.  (Of course it doesn't protect you from the other side of the gate.)  Be aware that the direction of your D-scan is based on your camera, and is unrelated to the direction your ship is facing. An often underused utility by newbros is the **directional scanner, or "d-scan"**.

 ===== Aggression Timers ===== ===== Aggression Timers =====
- 
 **Aggression timers** are small countdown clocks that appear in the top-left of your screen. Since CONCORD are not active in null-sec, the main concern with aggression timers is that they can prevent you from using a stargate or docking at a station for 60 seconds following combat with another player. **Aggression timers** are small countdown clocks that appear in the top-left of your screen.

 This can sometimes cause problems for fleets, since if some players have timers and some don't, the fleet can become separated by jumping through a gate. On fleets you will often hear the FC say "Do not aggress" when an enemy is on-grid; this is because the FC wants to be able to escape the system safely without waiting out aggression timers. This can sometimes cause problems for fleets, since if some players have timers and some don't, the fleet can become separated by jumping through a gate.

 While in **low security space**, you will acquire a Criminal flag for activating any offensive module against a player's capsule, and for directly assisting any other player in possession of a Criminal flag. If you receive a Criminal flag in low security space, you will not be prevented from warping or jumping, and CONCORD will not spawn to attack you – but you will be fired upon by gate/station sentries, your jettisoned wrecks and containers will be auto-abandoned, and any player may fire upon you without penalty. While in **low security space**, you will acquire a Criminal flag for activating any offensive module against a player's capsule, and for directly assisting any other player in possession of a Criminal flag.

 //Limited Engagements// are created when a player attacks another player in possession of a Criminal or Suspect flag, or is considered an Outlaw. They only exist between players (not corporations, alliances etc), and allow each party the right to attack the other without legal penalty. Limited Engagements are considered to be active while hostilities are ongoing, and will remain active for five minutes after the last offensive action has been committed. //Limited Engagements// are created when a player attacks another player in possession of a Criminal or Suspect flag, or is considered an Outlaw.

 You can avoid most bubbles by simply not warping directly from a high traffic area (such as a station) to a gate.
