Is it possible for a gang member to get aggression and get a free kill on me in high-sec, or is it safe?

being fleeted with someone is safe as long as you are in Hi-Sec.
but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- higher ranked fleet members will be able to fleet warp you (try to make you warp with them)
- higher ranked fleet members will be able to see where you are and what you are flying (with a 2 minute delay)
- any fleet member can always warp to you as long as your in space (also if your cloaked, to with-in zero even)
- whenever you are promoted or demoted in the fleet you can't jump or dock for 30 seconds (session change timer)
- any fleet member can send drones to guard you (if you are cloaked you'll be decloaked cause of the drones)
these thing aren't normally bad, but it can be misused. apart from that being in a fleet with someone should be rather safe, unless you do something else that allow him to attack you.
just keep your eyes open and read the nice pop-ups before clicking "yes".
one pop-up you should watch out for when trying to loot from a wreck or jetcan, is the "are you sure you wanna steal from X" if you click yes he will be able to shoot you. and being in fleet with him, will make him be able to warp to you wherever you are in space.
the question wasn’t about how it was in the old days… it’s about how it is today… so here’s my answer
Hi Dean. It is noit always easy to follow the order of posts, however the reason for my detailed background information was that an incorrect answer had been accepted. I felt the need to explain how it used to work. However at the end of my response, I did “answer the question directly”.
Hi Dean. The accepted answer was incorrect and opened with “You used to be able to shoot your gang mates”. It also provided evidence which as meant to back up the answer, but in fact the thread did not do this! (sorry Gah!). This was why I provided the detailed background information. I couldn’t just simply say it was incorrect and expect people to accept that without providing any evidence. I did summarise my answer with “to answer the question directly” and answer the OP.

This was why I provided the detailed background information on how it used to work as it had become relevant to my answer.

However, the additional information provided is very useful and relevant re: dangers of being in fleet/things to watch for.
well… i am not mad at people or anything ^^ i just felt like telling the dangers of being in a fleet with someone ^^
No, absolutely fine mate. Keep it coming.
OP asked “or is it safe?”. This needed to be said 100%
