== DSTs should stay in high sec ==  
== DSTs Do Not Enter Low Sec or Null 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.
:DSTs carrying PushX freight should not be taken through Low Sec or Null Sec. 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.
== Cloak+MWD Mechanic ==
:This includes DST utilization for carrying multiple X-Small contracts.
Deep Space Transports should be equipped with a Cloak and a Microwarp Drive to perform the Cloak+MWD Mechanic.
:* 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).
:* This is NOT allowed for LS to HS X-Small couriers
:* '''DST do not ever go to low-sec while carrying any PushX freight.'''


==Active-Brain Hauling==
The Cloak+MWD Mechanic is the most essential tool for a DSTs safety (other than intel) and should be used in any common gank system, any active system, or any time there is reason to believe there is ganker activity. Cloak+MWD can be used on every warp.
: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:
See this video for a tutorial on how to do the Cloak+MWD mechanic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDZ0r4tavJE
:*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.
== DST Gank Methods ==
: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)


Tornadoes are the most common ship used to gank DSTs; however, any ganking fleet may attempt to gank a DST.


=== Freighter Gank Fleet ===
A freighter gank fleet using suicide tackle and an off-grid fleet may also gank a DST if they are able to acquire tackle on a DST.


Remember these important attributes about these DSTs:
Usually, these fleets will not have a decloaking method in place; however, Concord or a lot of ships on gate may incidentally decloak a DST.
:DSTs have bonuses to overheating that affect tank and propulsion mods. They have a large Power Grid so they are ideal for fitting large tank
:Instadock/Undocks can make things safer for DSTs at station but if you have tank activated then usually you will be ok.


== Cloak+MWD Mechanic & MJD ==
A dual prop DST could attempt to overheat and burn to gate once tackled; otherwise, overheating modules and attempting to warp off is best practice.
:'''Deep Space Transport''' should be equipped with a Cloak and a Microwarp Drive to perform the Cloak+MWD Mechanic. See this video for a tutorial on how to do the Cloak+MWD mechanic. 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.
These ganks are most likely in common ganking systems.
:*Most DST ganks currently use scrams to disable MJDs, so it will not always work
 
:*
=== Alpha Damage ===
An alpha damage fleet will attempt to kill an uncloaked DST on gate using the high burst damage of tornadoes before the DST is able to warp off.
 
The fleet of Tornadoes may camp directly on the gate or a short distance off grid with the intent of warping to grid.
 
'''Always check grid and D-Scan before dropping gate cloak and starting to Cloak+MWD.'''
 
Generally, Cloak+MWD should prevent these ganks from being a threat.
 
In the event that bad luck or error results in the DST being decloaked, overheating your defenses and continuing to attempt to warp off is your best chance of survival.
 
Understanding Cloak+MWD and having sufficient EHP are the keys to surviving this style of gank.
 
=== Decloaking Frigate ===
A variation of the Alpha Damage ganking method, gankers may also use a fast moving frigate - such as the Dramiel - to attempt to decloak the DST while they're doing the Cloak+MWD method.
 
If you believe you're going to be decloaked during your Cloak+MWD, begin by initiating your Cloak+MWD and then overheating your mid or low rack (for shield or armor tank respectively) so that when you are decloaked your modules are already overheated and ready to activate; attempt to warp off.
 
== Pochven and Thera ==  
In Pochven and Thera bubbles are a significant threat to a DST. Your DST should be fit with an interdiction nullifier module before entering Pochven or Thera.
 
'''DSTs should never travel through Thera or Pochven without a scout.''' An alt in a shuttle is a very viable method to scout ahead.
 
Running a dual prop (MWD + Afterburner) fit may offer a second chance to burn back to a gate or out of a bubble in the event that the hauler gets caught. Due to the importance of overheating  to the DSTs survival, often the sub warp speed offered by an afterburner can outweigh the benefits of additional tank.
