Join the FW militia and start with cheap frigates. You can ask the people there for good fits, you can join small gangs to roam around with and you get LP which translates into ISK for your next cheap frigate.

It's just a tonn of fun and you learn the basics at it. You will die a lot at first, but always remember that ships in eve are consumables and there is no need for an expensive pod when you start to PvP.

Yup, there is a lot of fun to be had in cheap FW. Another great cheap option is RvB. Ton of fun and a good chance to learn some basics. Fit dirt cheap for RvB though, even cheaper than you would for FW. I have 32 executioners left over from the last time I was in Red, their fits are just under 1 million per ship (including the hull).



Treen - The whole idea behind PvP is to not die a lot. The idea is make the other guy die for your kill board without losing your pod.

This is the main reason why CODE Ganking is the best PvP trainer. During their Blobs they fly Catalysts and or Thrashers which are easy to gank, ecm, drone, smartbomb or snipe because of their - Red is Always Dead status.

Even if you come across one of them in a cruiser or battleship which you hardly ever will because they have to be fast and mobile you can still lock them down with a 24k Warp Scramble II. ECM them and attack them all the while the rest of local will be locking them up as well.

The CODE Alliance is by far the best PvP Training target in the Universe, and you don't have to lose ships or a pod in the process.


All of this, All of this is why people like you should be forced to take up mining as you clearly do not understand PvP at all. If people were to never lose ships PvPing then they are quite clearly fighting only fights they cannot lose, which means they'll never learn, Please stop advising people on how to PvP when you are arguing with actual PvP'ers, just makes you look ridiculous

Tons of help out there.. just do some googling. watch others and most importantly learn the strengths and weaknesses of each ship. Best is to join a corp that does PVP.. and try stay away from the HS pvper's. agony offers some decent beginner courses and there are numerous chat channels you can get help in.

also joining some open roams can be fun, graygal runs redemption roams.. may want to check the name and then there is RVB Ganked.

As to learning pvp from the code... well how do you learn anything by ganking some one that can't shoot back till you have basically popped him..

also check out zaqq's chat, lots of helpfull people there
