Hi.

I am two weeks old and I wonder if I can join Amarr FW and still be able to pay the ship losses. I've read, that minmatar militia are down atm, so probably defensive plexing is not that dangerous. On the other hand just circling the button will be even more boring than mining, I think. I can make 3-4 milions an hour mining in my Venture. How much can I get for def plexing?
Should I join some corp (if yes - which?) ? I am not readyu to be hero tackler or how it is called, both skills and isk wise.

Thank you for your help.

You will get much more ISK from def plexing in Amarr.

Thing is you usually need some financial capital to start being able to use the LP store - majority of items require you pay ISK and LP for items.
Then you have to figure out how you will safely haul all your items to your nearest major hub to avoid being randomly blapped.

Def plexing is 10min on a novice uninterrupted. For tier 3 even with the bad ISK/LP ratio Amarr likely have, you will prolly do around 7-10mill, if not more.

You wont find it fun.

i think it depends of your target.
You have mention 'compensation of ship losses' so i take it that you are for PvP. But then 'no skills and ISK'.... ?
If it is ISK you are going for then FW is a good place i guess.

Just do not join FW and do PVE in high-sec. You WILL BE ganked by enemy militians.

Wondering why people are encouraging a farmer?

If you want ISKies and boredom then high sec mission running, mining or station trading are available.

If you want ISKies and fun then join FW and participate in a corp (even if it is Amarr Militia). Any decent corp should be able to throw some ships your way for free as long as you are engaging in fleets and helping with objectives. The LP will roll your way naturally whilst doing this.

This is not true. In high sec, the navy will protect you from (almost) any enemy militians

I am not sure if this is the right angle to come at the question of joining FW from.

First, no matter what faction you join, if you put the effort in you will be able to absorb any and all ship losses. I believe this will include finding a good group of players to help show you the ropes and come up with fits that wont bust your wallet.

I am firmly of the opinion that if you want to succeed in FW space you'll have to want to fight above all else. LP, faction tier and plexes only serve to help you find systems where targets will be waiting for you to pop them and to keep yourself funded and fighting. As you get more experienced in the WZ it will be easy enough for you to keep yourself stocked with dozens if not hundreds of ships, but again I want to highlight that it will be a lot more fun if you actually want to see combat.

Sadly I don't know many of the Amarrian FW corporations, but if you spend enough time in the militia talking to dudes I am sure someone in Militia Chat will point you toward a good group to join.

Operation Meatshield! GETUP and fight!
