EVE General Discussion

This, or some hi/low gates lead to quieter pipes where newbro miners try their hand. You should be able to 2 shot a few ventures before someone in a faction iWin ship kills you.
D-scan is your only friend.

Use a cyno alt

The best ways to jump into PVP are via a gate or a cyno.

My suggestion would be to get into a Warfare Faction and focus on the skills needed to fly a Faction Frigate like everyone else does. Then start with Novice outposts.

I've tried several regular frigates and every time, I get someone gate in in a faction frig that does 2,500 dmg to me in 3 seconds.

I have been actively looking for targets in my Manticore, FWF frig, you name it and I have yet to get a single kill. lol It's pretty funny at this point and has made me broke.

I'm off to go exploring to make some more ISK so I can start over.

I too was going to suggest the NPSI roams, they are lots of fun.

Redemption Road run monthly New Bro Roams that are specifically aimed at new characters, the suggested fits can be skilled into in less than a day iirc

Unfortunately this months New Bro Roam has only just happened, however most of the other roams are perfectly fine for those that are already familiar with eve/fleet mechanics, even with little to no knowledge on actual PvP.

I do not know the best way. For me, joining a PvP focused player corp that was active in my time zone was a good way.

I'm a big fan of the various public PvP fleets that various groups in the game run.

Often called "Not Purple, Shoot It" fleets, in that they're an alliance of convenience for just as long as the fleet holds together, these fleets don't require that you join a corporation or alliance to participate, they'll usually take any player if they have space (including and particularly new players who are excited about PvP), and they're a great way to get familiar with the terminology and gameplay associated in participating in fleet operations.

There are a few potential downsides: NPSI fleets often go into Providence, so if you have a special concern about staying off the residents' "kill on sight" list, you may want to make sure that's not the plan. Also, you might sometimes be called upon to shoot your alliance or corpmates on such a run, so make sure you're behaving consistently with your organization's rules, if any. Also, NPSI fleets are not usually as rigorous about running strict, careful doctrines, so there are aspects of fleet play that you may not be exposed to like you would in the right corp or alliance.

All that said, it's a neat experience and if you're not already affiliated with a PvP-oriented group in the game, it can be a fun way to meet similarly-interested people.

This is an old link on Reddit listing a number of NPSI organizations. Some of these may no longer exist or be running regularly, but I know several still are, so check them out.

As you seem to be experiencing, if you don't know what you're doing, bringing out a more expensive ship is just going to result in more expensive lossmails.

Stick with T1 frigates for learning.


Here's someone scoring some kills in null on a 17 day old rifter pilot (pre-injectors).
