   * **Avoid lowsec/nullsec.**  There's simply too many things that can go wrong here.
+  * **Avoid gank pipes.** Certain chokepoints tend to be camped by professional gankers. At all costs, avoid taking Bowheads or blingy incursion ships through these gank pipelines.
   * **Scout ahead.** If you can, send a second character (in a cheap ship - any faction Shuttle works nicely, though you may want something with a faster warp speed such as a Dramiel, Sunesis, etc) ahead to see who is in the system you're about to jump into and warp through.
   * **Be an unattractive target.** Make it cost more to gank you than the gankers will get back.
   * **Use out of game resources** to plan your route and check for activity on the way.
+  * **Make stashes** of ships on either side of major gank pipes.

 ==== Bowhead ====
-If you have multiple ships to move, using a Bowhead might be worthwhile. Bowheads are special ships that can carry fitted ships in their holds. A Bowhead can carry up to 3 battleships at a time. Be aware, however, that Bowheads have recently become prime gank targets. Ship scanning a Bowhead only shows what hulls are inside, not how they are fitted. Recently people have been moving their ships in Bowheads with the expensive modules **still fitted**, rewarding successful Bowhead ganks with billions worth of fitted ships.
+If you have multiple ships to move, using a Bowhead might be worthwhile. Bowheads are special ships that can carry fitted ships in their holds. A Bowhead can carry up to 4 battleships at a time, with good skills (3 without). Be aware, however, that Bowheads have recently become prime gank targets.

 Minimize your risk of loss by stripping all modules (except rigs) from your ships before moving the ships in your Bowhead. Move the modules separately (see below).

 ==== Ganking Activity ====
+{{ :guides:gank_map.png?400|}}
+Set your route and look to see if you're going through any of the usual gank pipelines. Systems like Uedama, Gheth, Deltole, Ohide, Odin, and others can often be camped by gankers. (Deltole can be avoided but the others are unavoidable if you're staying in highsec.) Tune into the Twitch stream "Uedama Scout" for a live stream of Local in Uedama and several other ganking highsec systems.
 To check your route for ganking activity, use [[https://eve-gatecheck.space/eve/|EVE Gatecamp Check]]. Put in your starting system and your destination, choose "Prefer Secure" and then click "Check!".
