I am happy to see that some people are having fun in low-security space and having pleasant interactions while doing so! OP, something that I think you'll find true in EVE—and sometimes (but not always!) in real life—is that the people you'd stereotypically expect to be rotten and unpalatable can be some of the nicest, most helpful individuals. I know that I would never again want to go back to playing video games in non-Goon guilds. You, too, can be a j4g pubbie and posting superstar! Señor Lowtax wants YOU!

I have read a lot of stuff to do with the Goons and the quite funny recruitment scam thread, along with all the "botting" stuff etc.


In responce to the advertisement that was removed by CCP Phantom:

To any Goon who is in a position of authority, Deorum Viatores has a counter offer, unfortunately my current corporate management skills prevent me from making this offer available to any of your grunts:

We will accept a freshly created alt of any Goon director and happily teach them all we have learnt to date with regards low-sec PvP. We offer you an environment to play EvE where your own personal actions really can dictate the success of an engagement.

We are not yet drowning in kill mails, but it wouldn't be fun if it wasn't a challenge!

In order to qualify for this limited time offer you merely need to do the following:

Raid your alliance funds
Steal / destroy as many assets as possible
Drop all your territory claims
etc etc

Maybe you where thinking of un-subbing anyway and the lure of low-sec PvP is the flame to re-ignite your enthusiasm for the game.

My first kill was around Tama in a rifter vs another rifter, we had a nice chat after, turned out he was doing exactly the same as i, find a kill or die :)

Nowadays im collecting highsec tears. Its like a fountain ;)

Meh, it's still on track and going well.

The important question here... recent kills?

Yes we just got a rifter.

Hey Saiyon

Glad you enjoying Lo-sec pvp, in fact im pretty sure I made a tactical retreat from you and your mate sometime last week in my slicer when I decided I probably wouldn't be able to take both of you. That area of Amarr Lo-Sec has started to get busier this last week or two.

I'm quite new to solo and small gang pvp (or any pvp in general) but over the last few months I've been going out on my own or with a couple of mates to try and learn the basics and have found most people to be really cool when you do manage to get in a fight and chat afterwards. If I see you about I'll say hi or and point anything intresting I might have found on my solo roams.

Quick couple of questions to the experts.

Last night I engaged a phantasm in my speed tanking slicer in a belt but he warped off before I could get a point on him, I was hoping that with him tanking rats I might be able to take him down, would this be possible with the tracking bonuses from a phantasm if im orbiting or keeping at range @20km and hitting him with scorch?

We had a chat and he followed me a couple of jumps as I headed back home, as I jumped to a gate I noticed a vexor had just eneterd the system I was about to leave, he warped from gate and so I thought I'd give it a go as the pvp buzz was still strong within, warped to the 1st belt and there he was, so i pointed him turned on the mwd and orbitted him @ 20km. Got to his armour and hit a bit of a wall but was expecting that, his drones then started to eat me and I decided to disengage as I've got quite attached to my slicer but if i'd killed his drones (not to sure if I would of got them before they got me looking back) would I have been able to take him out?

I escaped with around 1/2 armour to a safespot and said a quick good fight in local which the lad responded to, but then the phantasm lad turned up in system and was suprised that the vexor hadn't killed me and I said I was new to this so maybe I picked the wrong target ( he also said I could fight him if I wanted and he wouldn't fire but I'm not that new lol. although to be fair he was pleasant throughout).

And a small gang is sometime rewarded with a bonus

was awhile ago and a bad fit but still.......

If you're in a small ship and they have drones out, kill the drones, keep the target pointed and you'll have a much better chance of winning. You absolutely need to get those drones down quickly.

Cheers fella, I think at the time I was suprised how quick they started to eat me but looking back I should of expected it considering I had no tank to speak of and gone for them as soon as he launched them, maybe overheating my mwd at the same time to reduce the affect of his drones.

I think in most other fights I've had, I've maybe had the element of suprise and they haven't launched them, when the 3 of us took down the navy geddon, as soon as I had it pointed I started on his drones and the when the boys warped in we all got rid of those first as they would be the most damaging thing to our small ships, seems like I learnt something, forgot it and now re-learnt it, thanks for the advice.

It helps to have a separate overview tab for just drones, though for whatever reason my has stopped displaying the damn things, but he's right, pop the drones first and life becomes much easier.

All I could think was "Drive me closer so I can hit it with my sword..."

Also yes, I want to pew more than I have in a long while after reading this

Yeah, this is another great bit of advice, you will need to figure out all the overview stuff too.

I usually have 4 tabs/overview settings specifically for pvp

1. Combat/logistic ships only + gates (no fleet members)
2. Wrecks + fleet members + stations + gates + combat ships + pirate npcs (ie. no concord, navy, faction police etc)
3. Drones + gates + stations only (no fleet members)
4. Gates + stations only (for those gtfo now moments, nothing else should be selected unless you want additional celestials for some reason or another)

I also have 4 overview tabs:

Drones (I think we know what goes here)
Navigation (Gates/stations/celestials)
PvP (Enemy ships, probes)
Derp (Wrecks, npc's etc)

Current overview setup in order of tabs

Yarr!! - Shows Reds and neuts, nothing else
Drones - Should show drones, but no matter how many times I mess with it, nothing
Friends - Blues
Stations / Gates - This has turned into a celestial tab really, planets, gates, stations, belts IE: Places to find things to shoot
GTFO - Stations, gates, POS towers and Jump Bridges

Got my settings from my former alliance *points to a triple headed rabbit tattoo on his right arm* hence the "Yarr!!" and "GTFO" and they've worked wonders for me. Well, that drone tab hasn't, but meh...

this makes me remember the handfull of times I've helped a newbie low sec pvper with either advice or isk. I personally love hearing of new people coming into lowsec as it is a very good place to be but woefully neglected. Hit me up in game some time and i'll get you into one of our lowsec piracy fleets :)
