Question:

Does a resource exist for, any one of us, to find and join or to organize a ' t1 frigate roam ' fleet? (i.e. dedicated chat channel)

What say you?

I think your best bet would be to join a Corp that participates in frig roams, joining some random fleet of people you don't know may just lead to you all getting ambushed and podded.
or join FW and see about getting some othere people in there going on a roam with you. they can be a lot of fun if done properly. I personally would not join some random fleet of people I don't know, or am not in a corp/alliance with, and expect anything good to come of it

I hear your concerns, but I think it could work. It could be a nice resource for those wanting to get into pvp, lose the adrenalin rush, get a little experince under their belts, and not be afraid to die once in a while.

a) If you join a t1 frigate roam, at some point you would be expecting to loose a ship. Thus the whole t1 (cheap) nature of the fleet. Obviously flying with implants would be fail.

and..

2) It would be possible to 'blacklist' a individual or corp who led you into such an ambush. Thus not allowing them into the channel / fleet again.

or perhaps I'm not getting the whole 'every man for himself' nature of eve.

what else say you?

on occasion EVE-RADIO leads t1-frig roams through low and null, which they broadcast live. In general they sound fail, which is to be expected. But everyone is drunk and having fun, which is the point.

There is no channel that I am aware of that organizes general t1 frig fleets from random individuals. This is most likely due to

1) spies
2) multi-regional distribution
3) competent fc's (yes you need them even to find targets)
4) location of where you are going vs finding ppl to fight

Overcome the odds and show new eden what you are made of bro

I has all the eve inactivity

You have two choices:

Join Red Vs Blue or Join FW and some plexing.

Be really careful with those Trashers and faction frigates btw.

If you take Agony Unleashed's Basic PvP course, you can join future Basic class roams as an alumni. Nothing like running around nosec in a 50 man T1 frig gang with interdictor and covops support. They've taken down some pretty interesting targets on those roams. They've also been the target of some interesting ganks! All in all, tons of fun.

Good day, skajit spey:

Yes, t1 -- including faction -- frigate roams occur as well as t2 frigate rooms (that often allow for t1 and faction frigates to be included).

The Tuskers often go out on small (in terms of gang size) frigate roams.

RvB (previously mentioned) has frigate roams.

In FW, at least on the Minmatar militia side, there were frigate roams (though consistency varied tremendously).

Agony Unleashed is excellent in terms of their basic pvp classes -- both in content, and they include a frigate roam.

There's also a RvB related gank night that has frigate roams; see http://altruist.azual.co.uk/2011/10/rifters-are-red-merlins-are-blue-whats.html

Thank you.

of course there were frig roams on both sides , i used to lead quite a lot of those t1 frigs into battle , but the problem was that i kept encountering cynabals and canes and sfi's :-/

Good day, sten mattson:

I'm glad to see you around.

If you re-read what I wrote, I did not negate the Amarr have frigate roams.

I'm glad you posted to clarify that the Amarr do have them; I know you several others did them (but since I was not a part of those roams, maybe I forgot too early).

Thank you.
