How NOT to die. (Somewhat outdated, but the basics still apply)
1. There is no way not to die. You are going to die. 2. Possibly quickly. 3. Potentially without knowing it's coming. True for Hisec as well. Don't be a 100% carebear. Be prepared to defend yourself. Gankers are everywhere.
Fireworks and snowballs are great, but what I really want is a corpse launcher.
