I would like to dabble a bit into the world of Yarr!

But I am a bit nervous. Where do I begin? Is there a good pirate training corporation out there? Who is the best?

I would recommend you check out The Tuskers. They are highly skilled and very competent, I won't use the H word, so I'll just say they are very mature.

So which one is better; Heritic Academy or The Tuskers?

Just go into low sec and blow sh*t up. Then wait 15 minutes and do it again- there ya go- all the yarr training you need.
Or you could try it in null, somewhere like curse for example, but you would probably get podded.

You make it sound easy. I thought there was more to it than that.

Or, grow an actual pair and head down to Delve. You can use the PR- base (npc controlled) or any of Goonswarm's freeports in the area as a base of operations and actually get into things instead of wasting away in lowsec.

I agree with the above- Found a nice little system to go hunt ratters in- Y-K5OG- 5963 NPC kills in the last day or so.

It's in curse, all you'll have to do is get into that system, get your scanner out and go kill some ratters. Get into Doril and Jorund for some practice first.

If i recall, tuskers require that you have 5 solo kills and that you can show good will towards solo action

Do you want to Yarr or just do some low/null sec PvP? Either case look around and find a corp that is willing to teach you something. Also, be careful of corps that want you to post up something or contribute to "the cause"

Happy Hunting and Good Luck!

Essentially that's all there is to it. In the beginning you know nothing, you attack everything. You die in a fire gloriously. You laugh, get a new ship and then head off to do it again. Then you get your first kill, the excitement of besting another person, the adrenalin. Before you know it you are trying to fit in a quick roam before work so you can get your fix ^^.

Remember to always honor ransoms.
Don't smack talk.
Look fabulous while exploding.

For more practical approach to learning - google the punisher plan. Taureen is mostly self taught and when from newbie to seasoned veteran. Each blog post has his fittings, thoughts on improvements and what he was trying to do.

Link below:

Also have a look at wensley's rifter guide - you can take alot from it even if not flying rifters.
Then there's also the pirate guide. Google will point you to all these.

I look forward to seeing you in space. And remember - explode like a boss.

Just a quick note about The Tuskers: recruitment is currently completely closed. If/when we open it again, our recruitment requirements will likely go up and will be aimed at the more experienced player.

As for pirate academies, Heretics have one as well as Fla5hy Red. Can't offer you any first hand experience of either unfortunately though :(

Good luck though and if you need further info, feel free to contact me ingame.
