EVE Ganking Hotspots

1. HS trade hub systems at both the stations themselves and at incoming/outgoing gates (arranged in descending order of popularity and thus riskiness):
   1. Jita's 4-4 CNAP stationPlanet IV Moon 4 Caldari Navy Assembly Plant is the main trade hub of EVE; others can be perused here, but they all pale in comparison to Jita and are dwindling with time
      • 4-4 is by far the most dangerous location in the game. make instant-dock and instant-undock bookmarks for it (and for all stations you frequnet)
   2. Perimeter, the 2nd-largest trading hub due to the player-run trading structures there. you'll be ganked gate for these because structures offer tether
   3. Amarr VIII (Oris) - Emperor Family Academy
   4. the player-run trading structures next-door to Amarr in Ashab (again, they'll get you on the gate)
   5. Dodixie IX - Moon 20 - Federation Navy Assembly Plant
   6. Hek VIII - Moon 12 - Boundless Creation Factory as well as Rens VI - Moon 8 - Brutor Tribe Treasury
2. the Big 3 HS gank pipes
   1. Uedama & nearby (HS route between Jita & Amarr/Dodixie/Hek/Rens)
   2. the pipe between Du Annes and Hek in Sinq Laison as well as Bei and Uttindar in the Metropolis leg (HS route between Jita/Dodixie & Hek/Rens)
   3. the 0.6-Security systems in this pipe in Devoid (HS route between Amarr and Dodixie/Hek/Jita/Rens)
3. anywhere with predictable activity involving ships with valuable fittings/cargo
   • asteroid/ice belts & anoms, especially the lucrative ones in .5 security
   • the active HS incursion constellation
   • mission hubs, especially L4/burner agent stations
