first off, **** YOU TEXT EATING FORUM!

Now that I got that out of my system I'll try to quickly retype my post:

I am a new sabre pilot and would like to know the limits of my sabre. I run a web + scram + MWD + MSE set with a scout instead of cloak.

I'd think the new epic assault frigates* will out-whatever me and ceptors outrun me.

I'll also accept "lose X amount of Y first" If you give me some guidelines on how to actually find frig PvP and not only normal PvPPPPPPP

You'll need a Falcon tank, then you're set.

Get a cloak, sit 2.2k cloaked on a gate and gank bombers, covops, transport ships.

Let them initiate warp, than decloak, launch bubble and mwd into their direction for decloak. Takes a few hours of
practice to get it right but it works 60% of the time.
As soon as they cloak, your ship will stop so you need to spam full speed in order to keep going in that direction.

Fiting 2 nano fibers for speed might help.

If you wanna fight inties and afs fly trasher or another frigate.

Walk into the club like "What up? I got a big cockpit!"

You probably wont take this seriously, but fly and Eris first.

No really, fly the worst piece of garbage in this game - it will save you money learning interdiction. Its like learning to drive a car - start in beat up falling apart 1991 Civic for a month, then get into your Lexus ( Sabre) .

If you don't fit cloak on your sabre then you're better off bubble camping. This works well with sabre + scout http://www.eveinfo.net/wiki/inde~294.htm#Zero_man_gatecamp

A lot of the AF fits I've seen are AB fit making them easy to catch them. Watch out for enyos & wolfs; still go for the kill because 75% of the pilots suck and will die while the other 25% will kick your butt.

Learn to throw your bubble up right after they decloak instead of right when they jump in. Most people will jump into you, see you don't have your bubble up and try to warp off instead of burning out or back to gate. Once you throw your bubble up their warp is cancelled and they are sitting ducks. Don't try this with pods or shuttles they warp to fast.

If you get a buddy in a falcon you can pretty much take on any 3-5 man gang.

Also if a target comes in to the system you are camping but not thru the gate you are on throw your bubble up immediately & get to the edge of the bubble toward the gate you think they might be coming from. Then if you get something on D-scan that you can't take you just warp off.
