I seek Death, both my own and my enemies. I need advice on how to begin a life of the pirate. I wish to pillage, violate, and make others angry.
Looking for week 1 pvp fits, Any suggestions on ships, things to do, and direction to take to start a life of villainy.
TLDR: Need PVP frigate fits, i've trolled the internet and i'm completely lost. I've spent more time reading than playing.... Minmatar frigates would be preferred but i'll take what ever i can get.
PS. Looking to blow stuff and up and get blown up so i can fail, and learn... Tips appreciated.
PPS. looking for a group who would accept an old guy, teacher, dad, husband, to blow stuff up.
Thanks and GLHF

you could join RvB or Brave Newbies positive both are constantly fighting something an except new players help with fits etc
i found http://eve.battleclinic.com/browse_loadouts.php to be helpful with at least base knowledge or fits to aim for via training as a new pilot |

The Know Your Enemy series won't give you specific fits but it has a lot of great info about the ships which will give you an idea of how they can be used. Solo PvP will be challenging for a brand new character, so I suggest you join a group. Anyone can fly a tackle frigate with a few hours of training (your job is to catch and hold people for the rest of your group). It's fun and rewarding and will nearly always get you blown up but you'll learn a lot.
As mentioned, RvB and Brave Newbies are good bets for new players. Faction warfare is also fairly noobie friendly and has many good corps that accept and train new players. You can also go it alone in faction warfare, but I wouldn't recommend it. You'll learn the ropes much faster with friends to give you advice before (and after) you mess up.

Others will probably speak to the topic of fitting better than I can.
But I figure that I might highlight a relevant tangent: Income. It'd be pretty darn cool if piracy, as it occurs in the game, was a profitable life. Alas, in most cases, it is not, and requires some other form of income. So when you try to find how to effectively get into pvp, keep that in view. In particular it will dictate that you'll want cheap hulls and cheap fittings.
It wont always be this way - As newcomers gain experience in the game, more income options are illuminated. But for now, you'll probably have to see to your income first, so that you don't dig yourself into a wallet-hole.
Figured I should throw that out there.
Fortunately a good part of the solution dovetails with another factor you'll want to look into - joining a corp. A functional corporation can help(dramatically) not just with your learning process, but with income opportunities.
Feel free to look up mine, btw, or send me some messages if you want to talk in-game. We do look for old guys, as most of our corp are family men.
Last note - More reading than playing can be fairly normal, when starting out. It was for me. But don't worry - that dynamic reduces after some time. It's a deep game, but it only goes so deep.

Off topic, and I apologize, but:
@Solai I got a little laugh when I read your signature regarding "...bloodthirsty old men..." and the 30+ part...I'm 55 as of cpl months ago...totters off to rocking chair.  |

If you want some ideas how a newbie can do evil things, check out this short guide I wrote.

While I agree with you that it's usually best to stick with cheap fits, I strongly disagree that piracy is unprofitable. I've done a lot of things in this game, and what I have found is that piracy is more profitable than anything except scamming and station trading. Lowsec PvP, on the other hand (often mistaken for piracy) tends to be pretty unprofitable in most cases.
The trick to making isk as a pirate is to be both an opportunist and completely unscrupulous.

Tackle. You can get into a tackle frigate on day 1. Just get out there are start tackling. Now, while it is as simple as that, there are other considerations. Such as ISK. You will need ISK to support your learning. In other words, you will want some isk to buy new ships & mods cause you will get exploded a lot in the early days. Make sure you not only look at how to pirate but how to ISK support a pirate. |

Wow, i did not expect such quick responses, I go out to see the hobbit, and come back and BAAM, tons of great info! I will check out the links, i've seen the piracy guide on the wiki, thanks for the link on that. I will also check our the guide you wrote hedonism bot. Thanks again for taking the time to help a fledgling corsair.
Also one of the things i enjoy about the game so far is the amount of reading that you have to do, just with a game that has been out so long, and with recent ship changes, lots of the information is not correct so trying to make sure the information i'm getting is relevant has been a bit of a chore. But hey, if that's all i have to complain about, then i'm doing ok.
On that note, the suggestions of RVB, the agony unleashed course, and brave newbies seem great, i just want to find a chill group of older folks, with little rage and where i'm not just a number in the crowd, a woefully unskilled number at that.
So again, Thanks for the information posted, and if anyone has any tips i'll keep the message saved, perhaps if i get lucky in my quest for mischief and mayhem, i'll share some nuggets of information with you folks.
Cheers,

I agree that it's possible to make solid income... Certainly for a veteran to the game. But the means are not immediately forthcoming when you're inexperienced. You have to do just the right things, and find the angles.
So to support your assertion, it would make sense for you to let us know exactly how it becomes profitable, rather than speaking so vaguely.
