If you're new to EVE, you aren't ready to pirate yet. And almost no pirate corp will take you until you have at least 2 million skill points under your belt. My advice would be to decide what your goals are going to be for ships, and run missions and talk to PvP pilots to learn what you need to do for PvP before even trying to go into lowsec. |

Ive done plenty of reading the past few days and am currently working on my directional scanner skills (which is hard!!!) Im just trying to familiarize myself with as much as I can. ill probably start out my plundering by can flipping and see if i can learn some noobile pvp lessons from that while i skill train. just lookin for some who wants to have some fun.. |

http://bloodmoneycartel.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 be a real pirate and dont can flip noobs or suicide gank. Those 2 are the worst sorts of pirating as it takes very little skill. Go to Low sec or 0.0 if you want to be a real pirate. My only advice is make sure you have a second source of income and make sure you are willing to go to -10 sec status. I used to be a pirate but quit (sec status is at -2.9 now) due to the lack of freedom. Sentry guns and gatecamps really kinda suck.

i have full intentions of trying to be a "real pirate". but you gotta start somewhere right? if that means stealing candy from a baby...so be it!!! I tried fliping cans and baiting all night last night with no luck. so I headed into nulsec and proceeded to get blasted into space dust the second i warped in..... guess i found what i was looking for heh. EDIT: just checked that link out and was actually one of the first things i stumbled on while looking for some pvp tidbits a couple days ago. good stuff. |

Ive seen killmails from less than 1 month old newbies. Maybe Perkone or some corp in privateers may take ya. When I first started I packed up and went straight to nullsec within first month. Dont let anyone tell you u must stay in empire Train basic tackling skills and you should do well. I got my buddy into tackling using a Stabber and he seemed to really dig it. On his first venture he got 2 kills with us this weekend. Theres a lot of t1 ships you can train to get into fast
Now lowsec gate camping and such pirate stuff im not sure about. We usually kill lowsec pirate when we come across them. We just send in a bait ship, tempt them to aggress, then bringin rest of gang to gank the lowsec pirate. so yeah be careful man if u go that route. Think i posted a link to a good guide on basic tackling from gf wiki in that other thread where a guy just starting out |

well its been an interesting first week to say the least.. I was recruited by one of the members here on the forums and joined his corp for 2 days. really cool guys, i just think jumping in to lowsec so early AND us being at war with another group was a bad idea for my first couple of days. i basically lost 10 ships in one day... although it was fun (kinda). They say the only way to learn pvp in eve is to just keep at it and lose ships at the same time... my problem is i was building these ships, warping 2 systems and getting gate camped within 3 mins. So i decided (along with the corp master) that it would be best if i dont jump in so fast, and with that i left as quick as i came.
Today was MUCH better. I still died a bunch but im feeling like im at least learning some valuable information. Ive been can flipping all day and i love it. I even took out my first retriver along with 8m worth of parts. (after i scooped up the parts i thought another ship had shot at me so i shot him and then was blown in to space dust by conchord.)
anyways, lots of fun to be had and im still looking for running mates if anyone is new and interested in mucknig up trouble. eve mail me >fitz cardinal<
so far my advice would be....dont get frustrated cause youre going to lose alot of money.. |

If you are new to the game, I can give you an advice: Do not build ships on your own. With your skills and abilities your own production is more expensive then market prices. |
