He doesn't understand that OP mean static align, not active align. #1 thing I've see miners do wrong all the time - burying themselves in a rock field, leaving no clear warp out path. Sad... edit reason: fail forums....
What's static align?

What's static align? its this strange event that assume the physics engine cares what direction you are facing when moving. he thinks engines on the back means your ship must face the direction it wants to go
oh dear.
poor ignorant soul.

i have said it before and i will say it again, all this highsec ganking is benefiting one group of people, the macro users in nul sec. no one else.
congrats goons, but i do expect it from you guys. you are at least are honest about it ruining the game for everyone else.
Uh, Goons tend to have overview bugs when they find miners in their space.
True story.
E: something about mining barges having a glitch in the standings icon or something.

If you are shocked by the concept of putting an iota of effort into protecting your assets, and instead opt to fill up the forums with rage-threads (to our delight), then you are playing the wrong game. 1. I cant believe it, but i actually agree with a Goon Well said Andski 2. There are many low sec 'dead-end' systems with belts that are 30 / 50 AU from the nearest stargate. Keep local open, check the info of everyone jumping through. Stay static aligned and be ready to initiate warp if something appears on the D Scan. Not 'all' low sec is 100% roamed by people looking for and easy kill, sometimes its upto a couple of days before someone tries thier luck. Also, make friends and communicate with other players within the system you live.... it could be worth it for the intel at a later date.
pro tip: there's no such thing as static (passive) aligned. It's an old wives tale that does absolutely nothing.
test it. no lie. Your ship will take just as long to get into warp from 0 facing the opposite direction from where you're headed than if you were facing that direction.
Its why you see freighters/caps warping sideways.
It's not the direction your ship is facing that gets you to warp faster. It's how long it takes for your ship to get to 3/4 speed.

Funnily enough, that's also about how long it takes to fill that unburdened Hulk up, so at that point, you might as well warp off to your dump spot anyway.
As a bonus, throwing more cargo capacity onto that Hulk also slows it down GÇö it takes more time to fill, but you have more time to fly in that insta-warp straight line. So with a total of 25 kills and 3 losses and NONE since 2009, you derived your expertise in these matters from???? Must be an alt yeah?
With stats like that, Tippia must be pretty good at survival and potentially someone you should listen to?
I dunno... but 3 losses and none since 2009 offering advise on how to keep yer ship safe sounds like the advice is sound.
