Well since Zappity is always trying to convince people to try the wonders of FW... you can always bug him/her/it for assistance =P

Hehe, here I am. Not strictly faction warfare but rather lowsec. I think it is the easiest place to get into PvP. And PvP is definitely the best part of the game.

I suggest faction warfare only because people tend to be poor and that is not a fit state for PvP. Personally, I only lasted 24 hours in faction warfare. I resigned after finding that I cared about the little timer and this detracted from finding fights. And I don't need the isk so why subtract half the possible targets?

OP, if you want to make your way down to the Minmatar/Amarr FW zone I can help you get started with a few ships. What race do you fly? But you should look for a player run faction warfare corp in your timezone ASAP. Look at Reaperlings.

Edit: and I'm not an 'it'.

Finally got out to trying FW after getting some ISK to fit a few Rifters, but so far no luck. Managed to run one site last night, but got destroyed in the following one before doing anything to my opponent, mostly out of panic. Tried to get out to Minmatar space a couple minutes ago to get destroyed by a gate camp before I could so much as align, bah... I'll probably give it another shot tomorrow, hopefully I'll actually manage to accomplish something.

Oh yes, forgot to mention, the assistance was much appreciated, helped me understand the "button" and FW mechanics, thanks everyone.

Bought a Slasher and skilled up to use it with some sort of proficiency. I finally took it out today for the first time, and got ganked at a novice acceleration gate by two Kestrels. I baited one to jump through, but stopped my warp before going through myself, and fought the remaining one. We burned through each others tanks, but I ran out of my 7 cap 50s rather quickly. He must've burned through his own capacitor though, as his web dropped and I quickly began orbiting him at a speed that managed to far decrease the damage of his missiles enough for me to wreck his armor and structure before his friend could get out of the site and bounce back to the acceleration gate.

My ship on fire, I docked up, shaking a bit, but triumphant. Well, that was awesome, I rather like this ship, and would like to thank those that recommended it. It's nice to have a kill listed under my name rather than a loss for once. Can't wait to get back out there tomorrow, and, again, I'd like to thank all those that helped, it is much appreciated.
