Hey,
LetGÇÖs say I have 4 Mil Skillpoints mostly in Basic stuff everybody needs to learn. I wanna start doing Faction War. So I go to Jita, buy 10 Puniusher's, 5 sets of basic implants, nobody wants to lose learning time, and I buy all the fitting for the frigates including Rigs and mostly Tech II stuf.
What ist he best, safest and fastest way to bring all that to my new Low Sec home ??

Or in my case mostly Amarr Frigates "lol" 
Join a faction war corp with a free frigate SRP corp hangar, and people to teach you to spaceship :)
If you really want to ship into lowsec, Black Frog Logistics will do it for you but they are very expensive (~75M ISK for a 6-hop quote I just got). Conversely, almost any corp worth joining will have some JF pilots in-corp. You can also buy regular courier contracts into lowsec.
If you decide to go without a corp and just join the NPC militia corp I would actually recommend not shipping T1 hulls at all, it just isn't cost effective. It actually makes a lot more sense to just make them yourself on the spot by spending two days learning minimal manufacturing skills and buying T1 frig BPOs at like 2M a pop. Then every once in a while when you are killed, capsule somewhere and buy a cruiser-size hull, drive it to your base, and reprocess it to make a stack of frigates. This costs about double what you would pay buying the hulls in a trade hub but is massively more convenient, and much less hassle and expense than paying a courier contract or ferrying them in yourself in a T1 loot pinata.
Another option is to continue living in highsec at a militia station in one of the 0.5 systems bordering lowsec. Abudban is an example here, it's got a TLIB station and is right next to Rens, and a couple hops from the FW lowsec systems.
But really, find and join a good FW corp would be my advice.

Advices from Miriya Zakalwe are good. I just want to expand a bit and share my experience.
Setting your base to lowsec can be a risky move. As you might already know, systems in Factional Warfare zone can change hands between militias. Once your opponent militia takes control over the system where your ships are, you will not be able to dock in any of the stations in that system until your militia re-conquers the system.
The best way is to base yourself near the lowsec entry points for your faction of choice. Here are the maps of FW zones:
- Amarr VS Minmatar
- Caldari VS Gallente
The highest quality of fittings can be found in player run corporations that are dedicated to Factional Warfare. However, an alternative public database of fittings with a rating system can be found here: http://eve.battleclinic.com/browse_loadouts.php
There is also Ships and Modules section of EVE forums.

Thanks for the answers. Putting my Base near an entry point system in high sec sounds like the easiest way to go so I wil do that. |

The thing with reprocessing a bigger hull is very intresting, I bet there are many applications for similar things if you have a second account who can produce for you...
Definitely, and in that case you can even make a profit with a dedicated industrialist. |

Take a look around at different systems that may be used as entry points to low-sec. You will probably find a few of them with a market that is somewhat active and may allow for a bit of profit on certain well used items. |

Until you join a Corp:
. Hulls: buy in lowsec (usually cheap if T1) or build them yourself as suggested
. Mods: easy to bring in lowsec yourself with a T1 industrial with MWD+cloak trick - just do some research on lowsec hauling and be careful. If/when you can train yourself or an alt to fly Blockade Runners, it becomes trivial (and quicker, BRs have fast align and very high warp speeds) |

A few points:
Once you sign up, don't go shopping at the major markets hubs like Jita. They are always camped by war targets who fail at PvP, and sit outside the station farming easy kills with their F1 button.
Shop with an alt - on the same account is fine, and contract the stuff over to your main once you get to your destination.
You wont need that many sets of implants. Once you get the hang of warping your pod out asap before anyone can lock it, you really shouldn't lose that many. May be 1 pod for every 25 ship losses is about typical in low sec.
Bubble in nul sec make it a very different ratio.
Which Militia were you planning on joining btw?
