My English is far from perfect, so not sure I understand properly. What you mean is : everything is permitted without any risk that CCP will ban me or whatsoever ?

Correct.

Suspect baiting and can baiting in starter system is not allowed and will get you the ire of a GM.

Your in corp so any target is valid.

Still not something I like to do but everybody has his way of playing.

I'm definitely not going to do that often... I don't really enjoy stabbing people (I'm too nice IRL ^^), but for some reason, that was the only thing I could do this week. Then I'll go to low sec, or maybe your training corp. I still don't really know...

Thanks for your help, and fly (not too) safe.

Most Important thing
Get into a good small scale PvP corp like Tuskers or Black Rebel Rifter Club by any means necassary.

Being in a good PvP corp is essential for your progress, it helps a lot to avoid bad fittings and newbie mistakes. But most importantly you will learn to estimate your chances in engaging any kind of ships. You sure can do that on your own by try and error but it will take much longer until you are solid.
Learn to understand the advantages and disadvantages of your ship setup. Like why is it not a good idea to engage a kiting Condor in a full brawling AB turret frig but why it is a good idea to try it with any Rocket or Arti frig. EVE PvP is about the knowledge to guess your enemies setup, using your local and dscan, knowing when to engage, when to bail or risk anything. That kind of knowledge is pure live fighting experience.

Start with any lowsec FW area in frigs, right now the most versatile T1 frigs are in no particular order:
Merlin - passive shield with hybrid guns
Kestrel - passive shield with rockets
Incursus - active armor with hybrid guns


Check the killboard losses of Tuskers and other small scale PvP corps for good fittings, most times those fittings are decent.

Na, you can go in in low-sec anytime. You're already off to a bad start on not learning anything useful that requires actual skill to master by randomly shooting newbies in a empire corp.

Good luck with not doing piracy.

Well, it was this or not playing at all... I agree it's not the best start, but I promess, i'll become better and learn to be a true pirate. A bad start doesn't mean the whole race will be bad Big smile
