Stop being so selfish and inconsiderate. Why aren't you considering the needs of the people who want to shoot other players? |

People can shoot you in low sec but high sec is bad for new players because it only shows you the most boring parts of the game. Oh god. |

If you want to lead a dull, boring internet space life that never involves the possibility of being shot at, you'll have to stay docked.
Under the right circumstances, people will shoot you, even in high sec.
You'll be better off if you HTFU and don't cordon yourself off from the most important part of the game, though. |

You can be shot at in any sector of space, by anyone, at any time. The only thing that varies is the penalty your attacker will face from the game mechanics. The penalties are most severe in highsec (loss of their ship due to Concord, if you're not a valid target) and least severe in nullsec and wormhole space (i.e. none).
I would suggest asking a lot of questions in new player help and in your NPC corp (the corporation chat window) to help bring you up to speed on the game mechanics. Check out the New Player Forums (you're already ahead of most people playing, you actually found the forums and are using them) for commonly asked questions.
LEARN HOW CRIMEWATCH WORKS. Until you understand Crimewatch, at least in a basic level, do not turn your safety (the green button upper left of your modules and capacitor) to anything but gree. This will keep you from making mistakes that result in you exploding for no apparent reason (there are reasons, but they are too numerous to list, and all fall under the purview of the aforementioned Crimewatch).
Once you know how to make your ship fly in the direction you want without exploding, (DO THE TUTORIALS) find a group of people you like hanging with and go discover the wonders of New Eden with them. Eve Online: The full-contact sport for your brain. |

You'll be safer in highsec, but by no means immune. It's safer than everywhere else, but it's not safe.
PvP is like a Martini advert, any time, any place, anywhere.

Post it in EVE New Citizen for less full trollbloods around. General discussion in EVE is for witty forum bears & whiners.
Stay in High til you find a corp that fits your needs & can show you the ropes. Wait till you can at least fly a frig decently & can afford to replace it.
Then go to low sec, as otherwise you'll never lose the fear of being shot at & miss out on the adrenaline rush. |

Figure out how to learn from your mistakes in the cheapest way possible. If you are always avoiding them you won't get much from the game. |

Allow me to break it down for you.
You are always flagged for pvp, however: In high sec, (1.0-0.5 systems) if another player shoots you, the NPC entity CONCORD will fly in and instantly kill them. However some people will still attack if their target is worth more than the ship they know they are going to lose, this is called "suicide ganking"
In low sec (0.4-0.1 systems) if another player shoots you, they mearly lose security standing, if security standing drops too low they can no longer enter high sec. Additionally if you are at a gate and are attacked, the gate guns will attack the offender, they will not destroy them instantly like CONCORD though.
In null sec (0.1> systems) anything goes, there is no penalty for attacking another player.
So while your safest in high sec, you are never truly immune from pvp. |

Hi sec increases your chances of not getting shot at, but there are no guarantees. Get ready to lose many ships. I find it helps to have a backup ship fitted and ready just in case.
I've lost many. They all hurt, but still I fly... cause it's fun! Wheeeee! whooosh woooosh boom boom! GÖ¬ They'll always be bloodclaws to me GÖ½ ...end transmission... |

Not wanting to die in EvE Online is not a good attitude. You are immortal, ships are only money and dying is part of the EvE experience, it is it's very essence of the game. You cannot fully enjoy the game until you accept and even embrace death.
Not wanting to die in EvE Online is like not wanting to tear the pants of of an attractive person who screams "Take me!" in drunken exuberance. |

A lot. So much and so often that it no longer annoys you. Do it early, when died doesn't cost you anything.
You will be enlightened and your stay will be much more pleasant.

No, losing a 70B ISK ship is not fun. However, making someone else lose a 70B ISK ship is extremely fun...especially when they rage afterward, and their tears are captured and put up on soundcloud. So, you have to take the bad with the good, and all of that. ;) |

From early days of infancy, through trembling years of youth, long murky middle-age and final hours long in the tooth, he is the hundred names of terror, creature you love the least. Picture his name before you and exorcise the beast. He roved up and down through history spectre with tales to tell. In the darkness when the campfire's dead to each his private hell. If you look behind your shoulder as you feel his eyes to feast, you can witness now the everchanging nature of the beast.
Beastie
If you wear a warmer sporran, you can keep the foe at bay. You can pop those pills and visit some psychiatrist who'll say there's nothing I can do for you, everywhere's a danger zone. I'd love to help get rid of it, but I've got one of my own.
Beastie
There's a beast upon my shoulder and a fiend upon my back. Feel his burning breath a heaving, smoke oozing from his stack. And he moves beneath the covers or he lies below the bed. He's the beast upon your shoulder. He's the price upon your head. He's the lonely fear of dying, and for some, of living too. He's your private nightmare pricking. He'd just love to turn the screw. So stand as one defiant yes, and let your voices swell. Stare that beastie in the face and really give him hell.

1. There is no "best ship." Each ship has certain uses and unique weaknesses/advantages. Figure out what you want to do. Want to go fast and keep enemies from running? Interceptors. Want to be the biggest subcap on the field with tank and guns to match? Battleship. Looking for something with a little more bite than a cruiser, but smaller than a battleship? Battlecruisers. And so on. The "best ships" are the ones you enjoy flying the most.
2. Having actual loss in the game mean you value what you have much more. Also keep in mind that everything is player-created. If you lose a ship, you're not doomed to running UBRS another million time until you get the 1/1,000,000 Dread Neutron Blaster of Gormgath rare drop. You just go to the market and buy a new ship.
3. With that in mind, there is a Golden Rule of EVE: Never fly what you can't afford to lose. Because you CAN lose it, and eventually, you will. May be due to players, may be due to NPCs, but you ship is doomed. It's just a matter of time. The sooner you accept this, the less stress and more fun you will have in the game. |
