You could try searching killbaords and/or if they have a corp website. Setting your corp's standings towards their corp to negative will help spot them in a crowd. But tbh if you go to lowsec and get attacked I wouldn't hold any grudges over it as you tacitly consent to being attacked (vice versa) by going there in the first place. If it was a high sec gank then yeah I could understand the vendetta mentality but you appear to be in a one man corp so I couldn't see this ending up any other way than further losses and wasted time.

Yeeee!

For a general list of members: http://evewho.com/

Easiest way to find their home is to simply read corp description, since it's sometimes written there. If not, go to their KB (or EVE-Kill, Battleclinic, etc) and figure out where most of their kills are made. Make a NPC corp char, train like cloaking 1, fit a cloak and wander around the general area of most of their kills to figure out which system/station they live in.

For more operational type stuff, I can't stress enough how much intel is freely available on public and universal KBs. If they like to use a neut scout alt to tackle, you can see it. You can get a rough idea of where they live, if they rat/mission for isk and where, how large their typical gang sizes are and in what TZ, active supercap pilots, falcon alts, etc. BattleClinic is a bad killboard, but it has a "known associates" list which is very useful.

If you have problems on gathering intel on them or just don't have the time or if it is just too annoying for you, Spybeaver can do it for you. For a very small fee of course. Contact me if you are interested.

You could try and register on their corp forums - long shot I know, but some corps do leave their forums open for anyone who happens across them. Twisted

It is always good to take some goal in EVE. Hunting and making someones EVE life miserably is one of the best ways to use time.

Good luck and have fun.

Nonsense. Everyone consents to getting their ship shot at simply by playing - lowsec isn't there as a PvP playground, the whole game is. If they choose to exercise that option, there is no reason you can't get after them regardless of where they did it Pirate
