Hello everyone!
I came back to EVE after a couple of years hiatus (starting a new account) and have since decided to work towards a career in pirating.
Now I am aware that I should join a corp for the best learning experience, but I prefer to play by my own rules in a small wolf pack kind of setting - just a band of best banditos causing some mayhem :P
I have trained up my skills to the point where I feel comfortable taking on this sort of career. Flying my trusty Atron until I'm comfy moving up.
I want to start by terrorizing bears in hi sec (move to low sec later), so anything that can help coercing them into attacking me so I can blast them into little bits would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any advice!

There is always awoxing. Join a corp and open fire! Scan down mission runners, steal loot and hope they shoot at you for it. If you've trained up your catalyst skills you could bring the gospel and do the good work of James315. Possibilities are endless. |

I hope this is a forum alt if you plan on awoxing. I'd say get in touch with Feyd, he's always up for training aspiring content creators. If you're looking to make isk pirating, suicide ganking is where the moneys at. |

Nah this is my main, my alt will be grinding mining and trading just to ensure I have ISK to burn. Unless that's somehow a point of concern? |

For that type of activity, check out the Belligerent Undesirables channel in game, get yourself awoxing (as a new character it'll be super easy to get recruited) and start causing chaos!

If you're looking to make isk pirating, suicide ganking is where the moneys at. Why does it matter? I'm open on the forums about what I do, and I still get recruited. I figure if I get recruited while being open about my motivations on the forum, the people who recruited me deserve what is coming to them.

It's 3 ******* sentences. Jesus. OP it seems like Gadon believes that 3 sentences is too long for you to be want to read the whole thing. That doesn't say much about his opinions of you. As to CCP removing it, I highly doubt it. They might remove neutral logi, which I'd be fine with, but awoxing is unlikely to go anywhere.

The trick to being a good "pirate" (and I do use that term loosely) is to find the right balance between target selection, desired effort, potential fun, and likely consequences. There is a wide spectrum of ways in which to engage in combat (wardecs, duels, station games, flag games, AWOXing, suicide ganking, or just flat-out shooting people), and each offer their own unique set of challenges and rewards. Try them out and see which one fits you best.
Personally, I do a mix of losec, wardecs, and the occasional suicide gank. And just because I'm an equal-opportunity offender, I will sometimes fly around in a logistics ship and rep ships being shot at just to mess with whoever is shooting at them. I like my sec status too much to suicide gank often and I enjoy the benefits of a one-player corp far too much to get into AWOXing, but I do understand their appeal.
I seem to have convinced some people that I'm "anti-pirate" by posting ways to counter suicide ganking, but this is not the case. I'm just trying to keep the gankers from getting bored; I don't much care if their targets get blown up or not. Reading Comprehension: a skill so important it deserves it's own skillbook.
I want to create content, not become content. |

ButGǪ butGǪ What if I WANT to prey on their trust? :3 Just the reaction of it all sinking in, they let little 'ol me into their secret places, I destroy everything. ^_^
And let's be honest, sociopathic tendencies are far much more easy and FUN than being a hi-ho go-getter off on another mission to bring ores and valuables to the people of New Eden! :D *pukes* |

A very good point. However, IF this thread isn't searched by said victimsGǪ Well then, I believe they deserve to be infiltrated. Easy prey is that which does not even know its enemy. |

Confirming that characters get into highsec mission corps that never, ever should.
A character named 'Popblues 420420' or something like that managed to get recruited and they were surprised when he... popped a bunch of blues. I remember it because it generated a tear thread in this very forum section from his prey. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=366607 - Gank incursion runners, win prizes!

there was a thread in GD asking just that, most people agree that lowsec piracy is pretty much dead |

This isn't a moral thing but more of a personal preference in style:
- Honor your word
Trust is near impossible to come by in this game, but if you happen be notorious enough it may be beneficial to be someone that honors ransoms and such.
- Don't make it about ISK
Dont fly recklessly, but don't be so worried about the iskies that you pass up on a good opportunity to learn.
- Everything and nothing is "fair"
Just like in real life, eve does not have to be fair. Don't whine and complain about losses, cheesy tactics, and/or mechanics. This is a sandbox game, so HTFU and enjoy it for what it is.
- This is an MMO
Don't fly alone. Sure soloing is awesome and is a real test of skill and knowledge, but find a group of like-minded pilots and grow together.
- Am I really a woman?
Add some light RP to your activities. While I don't really think nor fantasize about being a woman, I play one in game because she's badass. You want to be a pirate, so act and talk like one (specifically while violencing someone). You have no idea how entertaining it is to watch someone rage when you have some light RP going on. |

You don't have to ransom people to be a pirate. Piracy is a state of mind.
Go to lowsec and terrorize. Strike fear into the hearts of many, sploding pods with extreme prejudice. Become a notorious badass.
Highsec mission piracy is another option. There will be lots of tears. The tears will flow like a gaping neck wound. Also, there's gaping neck wounds.
