do missions with a vexor navy issue. 2 large shield extenders, a long point, oversized ab, and 3 drone damage mods. and ofc. t1 small drones, as small drone squadron for kill the npc frigs first, then 2 geckos 2 hammers one hob for the dps.
make it cap stab without the long point activated, and it can tank most lvl 4 missions easily, and have pvp capability. with that fit you can pop all incoming flashy asshats =D
omm.. for the ship+fit you will need about 200 mils btw, but eft it out
and yes, never ever engage a pvp ship without any pvp capability on your own.
a frig can easily kill any kind of ships with merd or large guns, or big missiles, if its not a neuter, or a drone boat.
even with a neut you can make a frig uncapable to fight

Very interesting read! Thanks.

I see now just how dangerous the situation was for me. Initially I thought the danger lied in a mass of hidden friends waiting to pounce once I pulled the trigger. Now I realize that I would have been vaporized by a frigate fit just to pop little old me!

At the time I honestly thought that I could have swatted that pesky gnat if I had wanted to.Oops

All in all, thank you to everyone who has replied. I've learned a few things that will surely come in handy in the future.

Good luck and take care-bear.

Now, if you in turn one day ask yourself the question....'I wonder if *I* can do that to someone else?', and you fit an assault frig and give this a try, then the real beauty inherent in the EvE sandbox will have been revealed to you, and your progression to the dark side...er...pvp will be complete.

I quote William Wallace...

"Fight and you may die. (PVE) and you will live, at least awhile.
And dying (from boredom) in your (ice belt) many years from now,
would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance,
just one chance, to come back here as young (newbies) and tell (the pansies)
that they may (nerf hisec pvp mechanics) but they will never take your freedom!"

Would you like to know more?

I've heard legend tell of space-groups that teach these things... who knows, maybe they're recruiting!

Thank me later :D

Just shoot him, it's just a frigate

as i say in such cases: if you need your opponent to make mistake or be stupid you'd better rethink your strategy

You always need your opponent to make a mistake or be stupid on some level in order to kill him

To OP:

Congrats, you have taken your first step on the PeeVeePee road.

While there is what is called 'mission baiting', ie, what that guy in the frigate tried to do to you, there is also a little hobby called 'ambush missioning'.


This is where you fit up a ship for PVP and pretend to be doing the missions.

And when I say 'pretend' , yes, you are popping the rats, taking the loots, etc, but that isn't why you are actually there...Bear

As an example, I give to you the Humble Dominix. It is a crafty beast, and is easily set up for PVP while retaining its PVE-ness.

You will need sentry drones (t2 preferred), large energy neuts, 2 webs, and a scram/point. Microjumpdrives are mandatory.

A reasonable loadout of t2 light combat drones (Warrior 2's are traditional, but now they are all dangerous...) is also recommended.

Also, there is the the old, and effective, Honey Trap Boat.

This is a pure mission boat. It missions. It lures. Them. In.

And when you get a customer who lands in your mission (and then proceeds to go Suspect.....), why, yes, you act like an enraged mission bear and shoot him. And when he chuckles and lands the scram.......

That's when your 5 fleetmates land on grid (or decloak) and proceed to take the poor boy to school.

Who knows?

He may even pay a ransom.....Cool

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)
