DST contracts should stay in high sec. That means High Sec contracts should not be taken through Low Sec as a shortcut. The customer is being charged for the safest route.

'''NOTE:''' DSTs no longer do contracts to or from low sec. Due to advances in low sec gate camp techniques, DSTs are not safe in low sec.

:* This action is allowed for contiguous HS to HS X-Small couriers while remaining under our HS Small Collateral limits
:* DST are allowed to accept and haul multiple X-Small/Small contracts for contiguous HS to HS couriers while remaining under our HS Small Collateral Limit (10B).

==Active-Brain Hauling==
:With the nerf to resistances, DSTs have lost significant EHP values.
:* Corp DST fits have been updated accordingly, but no fit can save you for bad piloting.
:It is important to utilize the proper cloak+MWD mechanic with DSTs at the majority of HS gates
:Once you jump a new gate, it is critical to actively check for system safety before hitting warp:
:*Use dscan to check for ganking ships on close-DSCAN - are there 10 tornadoes on dscan?
:*Use your eyes to look for suicide tackle on the gate - is there a slasher, moa, or maller sitting there, with 30 catalysts on dscan?
:*Use your eyes to check local for large groups of known gankers.
:The majority of systems in/around Jita are best traversed with a cloak+MWD procedure by default.
:Alternate routes that avoid common ganking gates may be advisable, such as going to Maurasi first instead of using the Perimeter/Jita gate interchange.
:Lower security status and common ganking systems like Uedama, Niarja, Bagodon, etc, should also use cloak+MWD by default
:In empty or near-empty backwater systems, a dual-prop AB warp can be safely utilized.
:''High-ganking activity systems'' use suicide tackle and decloakers, so DST pilots should check for high-gank activity systems on a route before traversing with PX freight in cargo (Uedama as the primary example)

:'''Deep Space Transport''' should be equipped with a Cloak and a Microwarp Drive to perform the MWD+Cloak trick. A MJD is also acceptable in High Sec with a strong tank. See this video for a tutorial on how to do the MWD+Cloak trick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDZ0r4tavJE

:Dual-Prop DST fits utilizing an MJD may allow a DST to survive the initial volley of incoming DPS while still successfully MJD'ing out.
:*Most DST ganks currently use scrams to disable MJDs, so it will not always work
