*sad panda face*
I flew a whole circle through 0.0 until I was back where I started looking for people to shoot, these are my findings:
- Most places are empty
Places that aren't empty are full (20-1 is not good for shooty shooty) Sometimes local will have a handful of people in with no stations \o/ - these people are usually in POS's.
I can't shoot anyone in low sec as the sec hits mean I can't enter 1.0 anymore and I don't like that idea. The rats, even in 0.1, are tiny weeny little frigate size that don't give enough of a boost to sec status to make low sec shooty viable.
I don't have an issue getting blown up and am happy taking two or three other ships on... but I can't find any.
Thanks for reading my pointless little story. Have a nice day.

Scout Have more patience* Break up the larger gangs Join a corp Join a fleet Go flashy anyway Wardec

Arrange some 1v1's
I spent a few months doing purely this when I couldn't be arsed flying about. Ended up with quite a few people looking for friendly 1v1's on a regular basis.

You could just lock them up in lowsec and let them fire the first shot to avoid a sec hit.

You need a corp. Finding targets when solo is tedious.

?
There are BS size rats in .1 Should look around instead of posting stuff.
Secind , since 0.0 is empty there shouldnt be any issue going to o.o to rat anyway.
join FW in low sec. plenty of targets.

Perhaps do it like your cat does to your goldfish. Move to a place the fish is, wait for the right moment he comes close. and SLASH

Alas this is the sad truth. Epic roaming pew pew gangs that instantly destroy anyone daring to enter 0.0 is a myth made up by lazy alliances not wanting to have anything to do with their territory after the afk moon mining pos are up and the jammers are on. If you want real pew pew join faction war or red vs blue or a low sec pirate corp. Then you will have moar targets than you can realistically shoot in an entire day.

For casual players looking for pretty explosions and those who can't be arsed spending hours finding something to shoot at: Red vs Blue. You log in and within 5-15 minutes can find something to shoot at. Otherwise try some regions with NPC stations in them; they tend to attract a greater variety of corporations/players. Try wormholes. In class 1-3 you can find people trying to solo sleepers and you won't lose any sec status for attacking them. Try can flipping and ninja salvaging. Also no sec status loss there and can have fun fights and witness some hilariously fitted ships in action.

yeah, sec status drops very fast and really sucks trying to get it back up. pvp in empire is not just prohibitively expensive as far as isk, but sec status too. i've been ratting in 0.0 lately trying to raise it but i keep ending up in bubbles and dying. but there are a lot of empty systems too. i haven't seen a single person enter the system i'm in now and i've been here like 30 minutes. but i'm not complaining; it means no bubbles.
but anyway, yeah...if you want pvp, try fw or rvb. although if you like solo pvp, even finding targets in fw can be a challenge. definitely more targets than otherwise, though.

Have a look into wormholes. Me and my corpmates hop into random wormholes and bust up the people doing mining/sleepers in there. They are not usualy prepared for PvP so they are a pretty easy fight if you know what you are doing.
Another thing to do is find a wormhole in a tading hub, set up some warp distruptors on the WH side and camp for a few hours, that usualy gets a fair few kills.
Do that and you should get some PvP.

IB4RV... never mind.
What you need to do is go to nullsec, Prov is usually a good spot, and start ratting. SoonÖer or later someone is guaranteed to warp in and aggress you, and there you go.

Your not looking hard enough. I find it easy to find someone to shoot at, finding some to kill however is much more tricky, and not dying afterwards even worse.
But really its not that hard, patience is pretty important in eve. A good corp also helps. But if you aren't good at patience(and don't mind blowing up all the time) you could always just join red Vs blue.

Unfortunately this is one of the best places for finding action (bar RvB). Sometimes you find more people then you can take (but you can avoid such engagements with care and scout alt generally), but it's in reality a generally (bar the few blobbier places which you learn to avoid) solo friendly environment and not too hard to find targets.
RvB is probably your best bet for finding action quickly and without sec hits involved.

Edited by: Zartanic on 07/11/2009 16:58:06 I found the same thing when I popped into nul sec a few times. RvB has already been mentioned but to be fair there are other corps out there offering PVP too. The main difference with RvB is its only purpose is to facilitate PVP in a balanced environment (as far as possible) and that's that. War Decs ensure that pimped out ships get to be used as well sometimes and it has low and nul sec roams to known space with enemies.
If you war dec RvB and pop to their system you will have plenty of PVP and it would be welcome:)

Edited by: Mutnin on 07/11/2009 19:07:06 Become a red flashy and the targets will find you. Typically more targets than you want, but hey they are targets.
As for null sec yea it's vast empty wastelands, but I have high hope that the new system will start to change that. Right now it's all the power blocs that keep it so dead because new people really can't move out there with out joining them.
Come Dom, people are going to need the care bears to make full use of their space, which means more people will be making that move to null sec and it should have more active space with smaller groups spread around.
