Don't use the autopilot ever. Not even to plan routes through hisec. It is intended to get you killed, and is designed to ensure that you will have the greatest chance of losing your ship if you use it.
Use a cloak if you can and want to evade contact.
You can set your "warp to" distance to a custom value between 0 and 100 km. Setting this to an odd value can be useful.
Never warp to 0 in a 0.0 system with people in local. If the gate's bubbled, you're dead. Take a safespot near the gate and use your directional.
Don't stay in a safespot if you can't cloak. Keep moving. You can use the directional scanner while warping, learn how.
149,000,000 km is approximately 1 AU.
Press F11 to show the quick map. Your current directional scan width is indicated by a green cone, your current camera angle by a white one.
When using the directional scanner at angles less than 360, the scan is in a cone in the direction your camera is currently facing.
You can fly up and down as well as sideways. Don't be a flat-thinker.

* Check the price.
* Check the price again.
* Freeform contracts are scams. Always. (except when used in corps for tracking purposes).
* Pressing shift when opening an info window opens it in a new window.
* There's little arrows on the top right of an info window that lets you navigate back and forth through the recently viewed items.
* The Compare Tool is made of epic win.
* Named items are sometimes better than T2.
* Price is not always an indicator of quality.
* Veldspar is the most valuable ore in empire space in terms of ISK/hour.
* Ombey's 2D EVE maps (ombeve.co.uk) are what you need. Get them.

* Don't feed trolls or be one. Whoring the forums with alts is the sport of the weak-minded.
* When taking a bookmark, the point at which you click the "OK" button is when the bookmark is created, not when you click "Create Bookmark".
* A "Grid" is about 300-500 km, depending on location.
* When doing missions, especially in lowsec, the locations the missions were can make good safespots once it's over.
* The best safespots are not directly between any two warpable objects in a system.
* Bubbles won't decloak you. Most things at the edge of one will.
* Microwarpdrives make you far easier to lock and hit.

consider telos wins. Flawless Victory.
Absolutely epic. Hats off, sir.
Edit: I may have to get the music for that and do the voiceover using your script.

Thanks Janu. Informative :)
I dont want to hijack this thread or go off topic but i got a few more questions.
Mobile Warp Distruptors is like a weapon or something you jettison to use?
And Interdictors are ships, no? Wouldnt I be able to target the ship itself making the bubble?
And the last question. Isnt jumping == Warping? i.e. Can i still JUMP if bubbled or am i completely stuck and need to try fly out the bubble to warp?
Mobile warp disruptor is an anchorable device that projects a bubble preventing warp within it. They come in different sizes- small, "Aw dang!" and OMGWTF.
Interdictors are ships that can fit interdiction sphere launchers- a type of probe that projects a warp disruption field, but unlike the mobile warp disruptor, expires after a time.
Jumping != warping. Warping is FTL travel in a system. You can jump out of a bubble, assuming you can make it back to the gate, which is no mean feat. You cannot warp to another point in the system unless you get out of the bubble.
Blatant plug: Jimer's EVE Slang and Acronym dictionary.

* Learn to use your overview filters and set up as many as you need.
* Don't panic.
* Don't be afraid to give it a shot.
* You can warp around and perform pretty much any action from the solarsystem view. This can be handy.
