Hades and Cerebrus aren't dockable, so I don't know why you're looking. Second, when you see enemies run[b/. Make sure you have as many countermeasures you can buy, for their cruise disruptors. By the way, the Omicron Beta (Outcast system) jump hole (I think) is somewhere near there.

Dark Helmet: Gimme that, you petty excuse of an officer!
Now hear this: LUDICROUS SPEED!!!
Col. Sanders: Sir, hadn't you better buckle up?
Dark Helmet: Eh, buckle this! Ludicrous speed...GO!!!

Or get a better rep with those shooting you ora better ship. 14 Shield Batts is NOT 14 shields, it's like 3:/

There is no Silicon Heaven! But where do all the calculators go ?

You could no more evade my wrath... than you could your own shadow!

the sigma 13 system has a hole to 19 or even sigma 17 has a hole to 19 but you will still come across the same factions when there

Kill Corsairs. Then Outcasts won't utterly murder you.

@Jsantos, shouldn't that be 'Jump gate from Honshu'?!

Unless you're in a high level ship, STAY AWAY !!

The Donryu Cloud is very radioactive, and so eats your hull very quickly. Coupled with Outcasts in Stiletos (the ships and not the shoes - or maybe they wear stiletos whilst flying their ships? Kinky!) packing Wyrms, makes for a very deadly environment.

Hades and Cerebus, although undockable, are very spooky !

I think the guy's looking for the same reason we all have -- just 'cause they're there . Everything about most of the places in FL inspire you with awe, even the various debris fields.

Sigma-19, I remember the first time I entered that place. I was still quite a n00b at the game, and it scared the pants off of me. Especially when I scanned the Centurions from my little Anubis and saw their stats, lol. I didn't die though. I escaped with cruise mode. My advice to you, is to practise till you're pretty good, get a rough-and-ready ship like the Sabre or Hammerhead, and go back and kick some ass, lol. Seriously, you need a tough ship to explore, especially for the first time. It makes life easier if you try and get neutral with everyone first.

"If it aint on fire, you haven't shot it up bad enough yet" - my old teacher on Planet Housten.

You just have to know how to use the geography to your advantage. I frequent Sigma 19 because it is one of the fastest passages into outcast territory. I had a horrible time with it at first not because of the criminal factions, but because of the GMG... guess they got tired of me slaughtering them in droves in Beta but in anycase there's usually someone to annoy you. I get flak from Samura too at that jump hole. In fact all of Kusari hates me. But that's beside the point. Anywhere around Gas Miner Ogashawa there are the handy little explosive gas pockets, which the AI is very inept at avoiding. Most of the time just fly into one and sit tight while the computers blow themselves to oblivion. As far as the area around hades... its a vicious place without allies, however if you're quick enough on your feet, or keyboard in this case, the anubis should be enough to get you through. After all, I financed my first read VHF by flying missions in Omega 41 in an anubis. Just use thruster/ engine kill to get away. most of the time the AI has bigger fish to fry and they will let you go after a short while. If this is too much just come at the planets from the northern side and take a far loop around. May be worth your time.
