Even if we wanted, we wouldn't know how to help you? Or who you taught already?

Get ten ships fit and near your hunting ground. Then go fight.

The only preparation you need to really make is mental

1. Consider every time you undock, you already died. This will free you from fear of loss and help curb the combat shakes. Hell even randomly self destruct your ships to drive the point home.

2. Every fight that ends in explosions, be them yours or your targets, is a damn good thing.
This will free you from over analyzing the combat environment and thus curb your tendency to become risk adverse.

3. Do not worry about killboards. This will free you from peer pressure to be the best and facilitate faster learning through risk.

4. Don't fear the reaper. Your immortal. Consider your actions as well as your targets actions after each fight. I find that deaths offer much more to learn from than victories


Now that you know how to be a psycho, go forth and die.

Also, realize this train of thought is very unnatural to most of eve but, the best pilots I know all hail from this way of thinking.

We've got a couple new faces. Still keeping Darth's seat warm. Jump in and say hi! If no one responds immediately we're probably just AFK, not ignoring you. Roll

Well, a bump for a formidable enterprise, and a question: where are you guys located? And is there anyone connected during 1400 Eve Time?

personally I base out of Romi, two jumps from amarr don't know about the others,
if I'm online feel free to poke me in the channel, I don't bite(unless I'm flashy red) , I don't ignore it but I might be afk/busy, I'm more small gang than solo but I'll help if I can.

That sounds fantastic! I'll move some T1 frigs and fittings to Romi and hit you up.

(I fly just Amarr for the moment - Executioner, Tormentor, Punisher & Slicer - I'll move in 3-4 of each with different fittings, don't mind losing them all in a single day. Even in solo might end up being fun, considering I've gotten really good at learning to run rather than fight these past few weeks of flying a confessor!)

Hmmm, May not be a worth your time moving that much mate, I'll sparr with you if I have time but I can't guarantee I can commit to it , my eve time is sketchy at best as iv limited time free so you may be left waiting longer than you would like to actually see me.

If I can I will but don't wait on me

Edit: also worth noting I'm a terrible frigate pilot outside of fighting bigger than usual things with them, I can show you how to kill cruisers and up with them but I'm nearly useless against other small things.

So for all of you just joining and wanting to know what this is;

I'm a lowsec pirate that has been doing solo pvp for a few years now.

I'm not the best out there, but I'm probably the most willing to teach the art for free.

If your wanting to get into solo pvp for the first time or have been giving it a go but find you need help, I'm your man.

Join my in game Channel " Red Wolf Fighting Society". There are several useful bits of information in there.

Currently I'm working out decimate playtime hours so you guys can reach me.

I can also answer your questions on here or via eve mail.

Due to some very nice people, I also have around eighty fully fit tech 1 frigates to pass out to anyone wanting to try solo for the first time.

Links of the fits are in my channel.

I'll never make fun and f you or your fits guys.
I fly some silly stuff myself.

There are no stupid questions.
