Ships & Modules

Welcome to my locker! Yaaarrr!!

Hah, the irony. You call yourselves WHY so Seri0Us?! Seriously??

Well, at least now you have a reason to call me a douche.

Yaarrrr ...

There may be a chance for you to become a pirate after all, unlike them stinking fish heads.

Because Garviel Have you not realized after reading a few posts that most of the people offering advise have no clue what they are doing. Sometimes I think they are confused about which MMO's forums they are attempting to troll on

If you don't have enough faith in your words to back them up with with your main you can be pretty safely ignored from any arguement..

Also isk efficiency is for twats, he has 2 kills and 10 losses, i would rather take pvp advice from someone with 10 kills and 500 losses. Especially seeing how most of those losses are shitfits.

In this case yes you should be ignored, because if you havn't done pvp you shouldn't be piping into a conversation about pvp since you clearly don't know **** about it.

Hound usually has better advice than I saw above.

I was once a flaming carebear without end. The PVE side of EVE is what I did until we were wardec'ed by another corp that was in its last throws of existance but was still powerful enough to cause us to lose ships. The fact that we were at war and a potential enemy behind every gate was thrilling to me even if most of my carebear buds failed to log in during that week. I even got a ship kill or two which was awesome!

I joined a small merc organization and merc'ed for a few years learning the ropes. Merc'ing is a good life and taught me alot of lessons. I didn't stick with it because with the corp I was in involved moving ships all over the place which became a pain after awhile. Now I'm full pirate. I haven't earned my eye patch because i'm not a -10 but they did give me this really neat parrot. Point is you can be a complete carebear and still choose the pirate lifestyle. I say go for it.

I am beginning to wonder if he is perhaps the best troll I have ever seen. Surely he can't be genuine...

Ignore the white dog; he's a troll, not a pirate.

The basic bottom line of Eve piracy is this, are you a griefer? Do you get off on inflicting misery on other people? Does it make you feel good to make others feel bad?

Because Eve is not like other MMO's. There's not another major MMO out there in which getting blown up means your **** is just flat gone. There's not another major MMO out there in which dying has such serious consequences. If you just like blowing stuff up, and aren't really into causing people grief, then what you want in Eve is PVP, not piracy.

If you really do get off on inflicting misery on others, then congratulations, you have found the happiest of all possible online homes in Eve, and you really are suited to be a pirate. Take the time to learn about the Crime Watch system, here's a good link-

And remember that half of successful piracy is psychological, one quarter is character skills and fitting, and the final quarter is your ability to fight your ship. But Piracy begins in your mind. Don't just go wander around aimlessly looking for trouble. Devise a plan. Train Cloaking, if you don't have it already. Train Anchoring so you can use warp bubbles. Develop your teamwork skills.

And perhaps most of all, remember that people see what they expect to see. Show them something that appears to be what they expect, and they will take the bait, hook, line, and sinker.
