= '''BR - High Sec/Low Sec/Thera/Pochven''' =
= '''Blockade Runner (BR)''' =
Blockade Runners should not be used in Null Sec because of bubbles. Even with a cloak, bubbles greatly increase your risk. BR contracts should stay in the highest security of space that the contract allows. That means High Sec contracts should not be taken through Low Sec as a shortcut. The customer is being charged for the safest route.
BRs are used to deliver up to 12,500m3 through high sec, low sec, Thera, and Pochven.


Remember these important attributes about these ships:
== High-Sec Gank Methods ==
:BRs are not scannable and fit a Covert Ops cloak meaning they can warp cloaked.
=== Dock/Undock Alpha Gank ===
''Gankers will wait either near the station with a ship fit for high alpha damage to attempt to gank the BR as it docks or undocks.''
*'''Counter: Use insta dock/undock bookmarks.'''"
*If you do not have an insta dock bookmark, warp at 100km in cloak to confirm the absence of a ganker, and then warp to a warpable object and warp back.
*If you do not have an instant dock bookmark, approaching from an abnormal direction - might - help.
*Many BRs have room to carry a shuttle that can be used to burn an instadock while the BR is docked at a safe station.
*A rookie corvette can be used to burn an undock bookmark.
*When you undock, check for potential gankers on grid before breaking the undock invulnerability if you do not have a good instant undock bookmark.


== Instadocks/Undocks ==
=== Concord Decloak ===
:Using specialized bookmarks to immediately warp away from a station or immediately dock are key to flying a BR properly.
''CONCORD or Faction Police may decloak a BR as it is aligning, enabling a ganker on the gate to gank the BR.''
*'''Counter: If an NPC ship is near your BR, wait for it to move before breaking gate cloak if there is a ganker on grid.'''
*The odds of this happening are much higher on a gate when there is a large CONCORD fleet that has recently responded to a gank.
*If there is reason for concern, having the various NPC fleets visible on your Overview can make it easier to judge when to drop gate cloak.


:'''Blockade Runners''' are particularly vulnerable on station because they have little EHP. Instalock Tornadoes will often try to one shot kill BRs that are docking or undocking at station.
== Low-Sec Gank Methods ==
=== Litter Decloak Camp ===
''Gankers will scatter objects like containers, corpses, or drones around a gate to prevent a BR from cloaking.''
*'''Counter: Scout ahead, especially in high-traffic systems.'''


:See the Docking/Undocking section for more information.
=== Fighter Decloak Camp ===
http://wiki.pushx.net/index.php?title=Asset_Protection#Docking.2FUndocking
''Gankers will position fighters on a gate that will move towards the BR while it is aligning to attempt to decloak it. Once decloaked, a gank ship will lock and tackle the BR.''
*'''Counter: Fit for the fastest align time for the needed cargo size.'''
*BRs should be able to stay under 5 seconds align time easily
*It is extremely unlikely that gankers will be able to both decloak and tackle a BR with an align time under 5 seconds.
*Both carrier and citadel fighters can be used


== Cloaking ==
=== Frigate Decloak Camp ===
''Similar to the fighter decloak camp gankers may use a fast frigate to attempt to decloak and tackle a BR while it is aligning. This is generally uncommon and not particularly effective''
*'''Counter: Fit for the fastest align time for the needed cargo size.'''


:'''Blockade Runners''' should always have a Covert Ops Cloak and should always use it. Blockade Runners usually die to insta-lock Tornadoes on station or gates. Blockade Runners' cargo can not be scanned so gankers never know what you have or if you are empty and will gank you on chance. For this reason, you must use the covert-ops cloak for each warp.  
== Pochven and Thera Gank Methods ==
=== Warp Disruption Bubbles ===
''Warp Disruption Bubbles may be placed on gates or stations to trap ships.''
*'''Counter: Your BR should be fit with an interdiction nullifier before entering Pochven or Thera.'''
*BRs should not travel through Pochven without a scout.
*An alt in a shuttle is a viable method to scout ahead.
*A microwarp drive should be fit instead of an afterburner to give the option of burning back to a gate in cloak with one cycle of the prop mod.


:A potential threat are gatecamps that prevent you from cloaking immediately after initiating warp. Usually this is done by littering a gate with tons of drones or containers so that you are always within 2000 m of an object, preventing you from cloaking. Paired with an insta-locking tackle ship this is a pretty much failsafe way of catching BRs. The only way to avoid this kind of camp is to use a scout.
=== NPC Gank ===
''Some of the powerful NPCs in Pochven can pose a very viable threat to a BR.''
*'''Counter: Treat NPC ships the same as you would a player.'''
*Even with dual positive Triglavian and Edencomm standings, drifters and drones can still pose a threat.
*Use insta dock and undock bookmarks


== Lowsec ==
== Best Practices ==
=== Always Cloak ===
BRs should always use their covert ops cloak while traveling.


:Some dangers in low sec are gate camps and station camps. Scouting is always recommended and knowing the proper procedures for flying industrials is important. For small deliveries to Low sec you should always use a proper ship with a proper fit.
=== Remember That BRs Can't Be Cargo Scanned ===
BRs are unable to be cargo scanned. This means that every BR is a target of equal interest to gankers. Always fly as though you are carrying the maximum collateral limit.


:If necessary, warp to a station at 100km while cloaked to view the activity on the station before warping your hauler there.


== '''Thera Dangers''' ==
=== Use Insta Dock/Undock Bookmarks ===
:Our only wormhole serviced is Thera which has a mix of Low Sec and Null Sec risks. Entrances can be heavily camped at times, especially when they are near trade hubs. There are also interdiction spheres (bubbles) as in Null Sec which usually occur around stations.
BRs should always intend to use insta dock/undock bookmarks if possible as they are very suspectible to ganks while sitting on a station. If no bookmark is available the [https://wiki.pushx.net/index.php?title=Asset_Protection#Stop.2C_Align.2C_Warp_Method "Stop, Align, Warp"] method listed in the Jump Freighter section is the next best approach.
 
:PushX has many Thera safe spots in corp bookmarks which can be used to bounce celestials to avoid landing in bubbles. Haulers should never warp from the wormhole to the station as a bubble could be placed there. Always use an interceptor alt to scout entrances and stations before entering or warping in Thera.
 
:DST pilots should also be advised that High Sec wormholes will not accept your ship through if its stability has been compromised.
