PREFACE
A long time ago, in late 05 when I was first getting into piracy, I wrote a guide that has since become one of the staple piracy guides on the sticky.
(A side note: this was on another character, who I sold for ISK [which I gave to in-game friends] when I thought I was quiting the game for good. The player who bought my character seems to be taking credit for my hard work now, and I cant go back and delete my old post in favor of this one *sigh*. Anyways: )
Since then, I've learned much about the way the game is played and how to pirate. I feel I owe it to the community to contribute what I've learned back to the noobies of today, in the hope that they might take to piracy and roam the seas of low sec like I did then, and still do now.
Piracy is the most fun you can have in EVE in my opinion, and something many new players seem attracted to. I myself played many long hours of mind numbing mission running before I attempted my first PvP combat. I died quickly, and could not find any guides that provided the information I needed to survive. So I set about learning to pirate properly all by myself, armed with nothing but a stack of T1 frigates and a desire to yar.
Now, many years and four corporations latter, I am finally confident enough to pass my knowledge on.
EVE is a deep and complex game, and nowhere is this complexity more obvious than in PvP. In every fight, the myriad of factors and variables that can effect the outcome can be overwhelming in number, and thats even supposing you can find someone to fight in the first place. Life as a pirate, or any PvPer, can sometimes be frustrating, and it is rarely easy. It can take months to become competent at PvP, and years to become skilled.
Don't be discouraged, however: the path of the PvPer is an enjoyable one. The rewards of EVE PvP are greater in terms of satisfaction, adrenaline, and just plain fun than any other computer game I have personally ever played. The adrenaline rush you receive every time you jump into combat as a new PvPer (and which I still experience when I'm in a particularly dangerous situation) can be almost unreal.
This guide is intended to thoroughly fill you in on the basics you need to pirate, and get you up and running with the minimum of hassle. Provided in this first draft is everything you need to know to get out and yar, including settings for your UI, scanning skills, basic tactics, advice, and fittings and tactics for T1 frigates (and before you ask, YES they are effective pirate ships, even solo, and NO you don't need high skill points! Trust me!)
Further versions will include everything you see in the index. New players should read each one of the linked guides IN ORDER (with the exception of the last one, ôwhat ship to train forö, which is optional) before heading out to pirate.
And without further ado, I present,

Nice job Skira. But really, I think it would have been easier to just make a PDF and keep it updated on eve-files or something. People are going to come along and spam your subsection threads just to mess with them.
And don't pay any attention to the noobs in here. All the guys who know what they're doing recognize the work. Keep it up.

Short answer: thats what I'm doing right now, but I was stupid and didn't bother to figure out how to encode PDF before posting.
Thanks though. The subsections will be deleted/locked when I get my PDF done

Pirates....better to carebear! A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true. |
