Avoiding Pirates in High-Sec Space

Don't be baited by pirates. There's a few tricks they use to get you to attack them so that they can retaliate without getting killed by the CONCORD.

If you're a miner, the first thing they do is steal the ore from your jetcans. The moment they do that, they are flagged red for you. If you take that ore back ore if you fire on them, then they are free to attack you, and CONCORD won't interfere.

Also be wary of the pirate's corpmates, who may be nearby in the asteroid belt. If you take your ore back and try to run, then you will be flagged red for the entire corp and they will be free to attack you.

If instead of the jetcans, you are using the secure containers, then they may try to provoke you by shooting their own jet canisters. When they fire on a canister, they will be flagged red for nearby miners. Don't try to engage them, because they still can't attack you without CONCORD retaliation. And don't be afraid for your secure container, unlike in the case of the jetcans, the CONCORD will retaliate if they fire on it.

The pirates resort to conniving tricks in high-sec space to try to fight you. Rest assured, the CONCORD will step in and protect you if a pirate attacks you. Don't try to retaliate in cases other than a direct attack on you unless you're absolutely sure of being able to win, because otherwise you're on your own.
