I don't like when newbies shoot back, it prevents me from getting closer to full -10 when their pods pop too.
I am not my skills but...

Put mind to that EVE is just video game and your losses wont matter at all. Unless you lost billion ISK ship, it truly does not matter. In other video games you die thousands of times. In EVE you are capsuleer, you can pilot your ship into star after too much liquor at your cousins birthday party and still never die permanently.
More interesting question is why so many people think dying in EVE in PvP is such big deal. Specially among new players. It is something very different from other mmo's I have played.  |

I sense that in a few years, you will be one of the good pvp pilots in EVE, because you got the right attitude. Get in touch with EVE-uni and then later red vs blue. Thats a good way to get into pvp fast without taking too many losses I also noted the first guy who killed me. Unfortunately I never got to kill him before he stopped playing, but even years after, I could feel the anger and urge for revenge when I saw him in local
About the GF thing... A lot of people in low sec write it out of courtesy. It might not have been to provoke you at all, even though I understand why it would feel that way. |

Just to add, perhaps not a good idea to warp to another players starbase to pick a fight. You were probably scrambled and killed by the POS batteries, that would explain your instant death. |

Look at my KB. Played 5 years and 0 that's ZERO kills. Lots of losses though. Can't do very good flying solo and always meeting several at a time on the Battlefield...
But I still manage to have some sembalance of fun... |

Goooood! Let the anger flow through you!
On a more serious note, for you OP, the hard part is over. Once you lose a ship and realise its really not that bad, it gets easier and easier to the point where its just part and parcel of the game. As it should be!

Most low-sec players are just as cuddly and carebeary as high-sec players. Where high-sec players pray on practically defenceless mission rats (why doesn't anyone ever consider their feelings?), most low-sec players pray on defenceless players, like mining barges and 1 month old characters flying a very basic ship.
Last time I got ganked in low sec (because I wasn't paying attention) my Tengu got ganked by a group of 6. I really don't get how anyone could be proud of such a kill tbh :P.
Despite what you may have heard there's only one rule of EVE:
Never stop learning and realise there's always a lot more to be learned. To this end, seek wisdom in everything. |

Rule 2 of Eve PvP - never fight fair because no one else will.
Dont like it, stay out of lowsec. Infact if your mining in lowsec, then your either bait or stupid. The only real pure PvP is solo one on one, but ya never know what the other dude might have / do.
But saying you wouldn't get a on nice shiny kill because the fights unfair is just naive.
Its all one big game where you ultimately have to be smarter than the other person your fighting. And if your not smarter, then just use numbers.
Applying Highsec or Nullsec mentality to lowsec is just... a bit silly. |

That adrenaline rush you had when you survived your first brush with death and managed to escape is what brought you back...
Enjoy it, learn from others, plenty of good advice in other posts on who can help you learn PvP.
You are lucky It took a wardec after years of missioning and mining for me to first feel that rush and I never looked back. I owe a lot to the first guy who killed me in genuine PvP

That's the spirit. You do have all your losses recorded on your character though. Also, as long as you're on a gate to hsec or a station, you're virtually invincible. |
