Yup, surprise PVP is fine, even attacks in high-sec if you want to suicide-gank, but you cannot attack or scam new players in the newbie starter solar systems (there are 12 of them; if the system has only 1 station, and it's a "school" station (has "university, academy, or school in its name), then it's likely a newbie starter system).

For electronic warfare / jamming, keep in mind that you'll be attacked first; people always hate CC'ers in MMO's. Blackbird is a cruiser, may be expensive to lose over and over again.

Otherwise, high-sec is "safe" space, so if you PVP there, you'll need to learn the rules of engagement. Lowsec has fewer rules, and 0.0 and wormhole space are free for all.

I had a question about destroyers. People are telling me to get a destroyer like Catalyst for Sisters Arc. I like the looks of the Tactical Destroyers better.

Are they all pretty decent for pvp as well? One favored more over the others?
I'd like to get into some small gang pvp and terrorize some folks.

If anyone has some fits or ideas, hit me up with them.

Thanks!

If your looking for pvp wise the Hecate has been my favorite ship for solo pvp but I would say for doing missions the Hecate can do well with rail guns but If you don't have the skills for it I would just go for the catalyst with rail guns.

The T3Ds are getting rebalanced soon in the November patch btw. The Svipul and Confessor are considered pretty overpowered at the moment.

After reading all the comments, I decided to train up for a Stabber. I like that its cheap enough to buy a lot to fly and die. But it has speed and DPS to hunt frigates and destroyers. I think it will be a good platform to learn on while flying with a corp learning some pvp.


Slasher, Thrasher and Stabber are great ships that lead to the Fleet Stabber, Cynabal, Svipul and Vagabond which are pretty good in the current meta.

Stabber is a great ship that scales very well with player SP and skill.
