I, for some reason, have 160 pre-fit condors sitting near a nice set of space to launch into for PvP. They're fit pretty terribly actually, but they're free. I'll provide advice on how to fly them and other such stuff. First 16 people who wants them will get 10 pre-fit condors. Who knows, maybe the 16 of you will all go fly to get these condors and wind up shooting at each other. EVEmail me, post in here, or convo me in game if you want 10 of them. Give me some kind of indication that you aren't just looking for free stuff, tell me about why you want to PvP what your plans are and such.

Edit: A lot of the requests that I've gotten have been from characters on a trial account, unfortunately I can not send a trial account character a contract.

Agreed. For any new players who want to experience PVP but are scared, unmotivated, or just unsure, take this person's offer and try it out!

what about newsis's? :)
i would like to ask for one, but i feel like it would be wasted on me because i'd probably die pretty fast. i figure when i am brave enough to fight another real person i should probably do it in something worthless that i won't be upset that i lost.

These ships are pretty worthless, in fact, they're free i'll contract you ten of them. Hit me up in game if you want advice on flying them.

That's kind of the point of flying T1 frigates in PvP, doing one L4 mission will give you the isk to buy 10 to 30 replacements outright and build another 4 or 5 out of reprocessed materials.

If someone offers you one, trust me, they're not having faith in the great care you'll take with their gift, they were just gonna get five of 'em blown up in a day or two of PvP anyhow and expect you to do the same.

wasted? that is exactly what they are for! They are not wasted if you had fun or learned something and if you had fun and learned something how awesome is that?

There used to be a saying in Eve that the best way to learn PvP was to buy 100 rifters and commit to loosing all of them in one weekend. Since the ship balancing I think that now applies to any combat frigate and maybe even destroyers.

I usually encourage people to train all the racial frigates to III; all small turrets, rockets, and light missiles to III; and then just enough to use shield, armor, and weapon upgrades. Very quick to do, and it gives the ability to sample all the different frigates to your heart's content.

I'll add this adendum since this isn't very popular.

If you get 10 ships and link me 10 lossmails in game, i'll send you 10 more.

Confirming the only ship that was ever worth anything is the ship that died trying.

If you are new to PvP and feel like you need advice before riding one of these beautiful Condors to a firey death. Join (M.Public Channel) we all love to help out our new brothers and sisters. And if OP had a cheap way to keep providing these condors and needs help financially mail me and let's see if I can help.

It is so great to see more people wanting to help get people to Pvp.

I'm aware this is in NCQA but is this a newbro's only offer or is it open to all ages for sexy times?
The number of hulls you are proposing along with (zero link) fleet boosts sounds amazing.

Hello,

I see posts like this from time to time, and I have corp mates who are willing to replace ships I lose in pvp all the time. I am wondering how much income increases over time/experience. Doing level 2 missions an faction warfare I have about 40 million ISK. That's about 8 slashers with t2 modules. In others words, it's sonething I cant afford to throw away. Does mission running at l4 increase so drastically that you can toss away a 5 million or so ISK ships?

I ask because I like to pvp and want to do so more extensively but it seems tough to do on my budget.
