EVE General Discussion

What's the best way to get a kill. Just one and i'll be happy.

I mainly mine and feel like life is somewhat passing me by.

Undock & shoot player ships.

If I were in your situation I would most definitely do this.

Look up Agony Unleashed and in particular a pilot called Greygal in-game. They have regular newbro fleets that are open to the public and they provide the ships for free too. A perfect, no risk way for you to grab your first kill. In general, these types of open fleets are a great way to get your feet wet in PvP.

I find the easiest way to lose your killmail virginity is to just do it in highsec. Find a cheap ship that you can fly, a destroyer will do nicely, then head to one of the major trading routes (Amarr-Jita, Dodixie-Hek, etc) that has a lot of traffic, and sit on a gate. When you see someone using autopilot in a weak ship that you can kill in a couple of shots, lock him up and gank him.

You'll lose your ship to the police of course, and take a minor standings hit, but the fun is in maximising damage output while keeping the cost of the ships you lose at a minimum. Have an alt? Leave it in system to pick up any loot you and your targets drop. Start by ganking a pod, then a shuttle, then work your way up to t1 frigs, and then further if you like.

If you enjoy that, maybe you'll enjoy shooting someone in low/null who will shoot back at you? Who knows, you can do anything you want in this game, its up to you.

If you aren't trolling, as the ISD said above, look up Greygal ingame, join the mailing list in her bio. There is a newbro roam this coming weekend, all instructions are in the mailing list. Nothing else required than you bring yourself along.

Nah, their gameplay is boring.

They never undock unless a target is called ...
... and they never stay outside when they have GCC.

CODE is literally the worst choice when you want to learn ganking ...
... or have any interest in actually playing an outlaw in highsec.

This is fantastic timing.

Good luck, OP! PvP is a lot of fun and for many of us the reason that we log in every day. You might find yourself bit by the PvP bug and if so, you'll be asking us where to find more one day soon ;)

was probably over a year before i got on my first kill mail... took 3 years to get my first solo kill.

my advice: just keep trying.

if you just want to get on a killboard then jump into an NPSI fleet. they are usually just a bunch of random pilots getting together to kill anything they can find.
