Hello,
I am a returning player... haven't played in awhile. I've decided to take another hard look at EVE and try and stick with it. A few years ago I joined a piracy corp and helped in one kill where I earned myself a -3.4 sec status... ever since then, I've been trying to raise it.
Last time I played, I was using a Ferox with some sort of expensive setup to travel around ~0.2-0.5 system in search of battleship rats to kill. I was doing fine until eventually I went through a gate only to find some gate campers... I tried to escape as quickly as possible but my ship blew up... once that happened, I had the daunting task of trying to buy all the stuff I needed again... I decided I didn't want to play anymore. I know the motto, "Don't fly what you can't afford"
My first question: Is ratting still the best way to gain sec status? I think right now I'm at -2.1.
Second question: What's the smallest/cheapest ship I could fly in order to take out battleships? Could I use a fast Rifter and take out a battleship? I really need help in this area. (What is really good against what?)
I haven't done much in EVE at all and decided I need to find some friends and try to have fun. I'm interested in piloting a fast ship and exploring the universe... worm holes, etc... planetary mining also intrigues me... however, first I'd like to raise my sec status back up to 0.
Thanks |

By Stealth Bomber do you all mean a Covert Ops ship? Avoiding a gate camp would be ideal! :) |

By Stealth Bomber do you all mean a Covert Ops ship? Avoiding a gate camp would be ideal! :) An SB is a covert-ops style cloaking frigate that is armed with torpedo launchers and a unique bomb launcher. The bomb is a pvp weapon so no need to worry about it for ratting. The Minmatar version is the Hound.They are extremely flimsy, but do very high DPS vs large targets (thanks to the torpedoes) and are invisible. This makes them perfect for what you're trying to. Also, they are lots of fun in pvp as well so you'll never regret training for them 
Thanks for the information!
Thank you to everyone for all the information... that's one thing that's great about this game is the amount of help available.
