Why You Shouldn't Visit Uedama. (or should)

EVE is often known for its uncertainty and for it's un-safe nature. However, there is one system in EVE that is more often then not, very much the same.

Uedama.

     The only hi-sec system linking the trade hub Jita to the smaller (but still significant) hubs of Dodixie and Amarr. This is actually not true, but the other option has many, many more jumps involved and is generally not used.

     However, don't be fooled by it's hi-sec nature, Uedama is in fact one of the most dangerous systems out there, rivavlling null-sec even; depending on what ship you pilot. Frigates and other combat ships more often then not make it through just fine, it's the other class that doesn't: industrials and freighters.

A common sight in the system of Uedama.

    The system is constantly patrolled by suicide gankers and bumpers, most of whom are members of CODE. These pilots don't give a shit if they lose their Thrasher or Catalyst trying to take you down, they are disposable items, almost like a weapon if you will. They go in KNOWING the'll lose it so they can sweep down 2 minutes later and loot your precious PLEX or what ever ludicrous thing you had stored up in your slow, vulnerable industrial.

Don't be this guy.

     So whats the point of this article? I guess it would be me saying that you really shouldn't go into Uedama with valuable cargo and expect to leave in one piece. Instead I'd recommend you use a courier service such as PushX to ferry your goods for a fee. I've used them to ship things from modules to battleships and it's always been a pleasant experience.It may cost you a fair bit depending on what you're shipping, but in the long term or short term the gains are worth it.
