Ok, after repeated infuriation with the incessant returning of the subject in various forms and various degrees of heat-inducing wording I've decided to make a compact guide for those that want to start out in 0.0 space.
I've not checked wether a guide actually exists in any quality form, but I assume it doesn't because if so we wouldn't be seeing all these posts about how gatecamps are the reason people can't come into 0.0., unless of course all those posts are stupid and pointless, which would actually be not very unlikely.
Now, I'm going to assume you're a real empire space dwelling nublet with not too many skills and not too many isk reserves. I'm also assuming you don't have too much of a clue about 0.0 yet. Don't be offended by that assumption please, it's simply the picture I've got from reading all the threads protesting the inhabitability of 0.0, so if you would be offended it'd be your own damn fault in the first place and that would mean being offended would be rather silly and would end up with me pointing that out to you with the assistance of many laughing and scornfull emoticons.
So... don't be offended, please.
Now, more assumptions.
You are a solo player, or at least a player that solos alot but might have some friends to call on in need. You can substitute friends with alts on second accounts but in all honesty friends are more entertaining because sometimes they make you laugh. Alts hardly ever do that, and when they do it's rather silly to actually laugh isn't it ?
So, at least make sure to have some people somewhere that you know and that might be able to be persuaded to render you a simple service or two with their mains or alts for a friendly price.
Thirdly, last assumptions here:
You actually want to live in 0.0, you're not out to just npc a bit there and take your new found capital to empire to buy more stuffs for your CNR before you return to pounding the lvl 4's for ridiculous implant offers you then cash in and make abundant profits on at no real risk. You want to go, stake your claim to a 'visitor' spot in some npc station and LIVE THERE. You'll be in 0.0 when you're having your pee break, when you're off for dinner and when you're afk for sex with your girlfriend (Ha ha, had you there didn't I ? No, finding and capturing a human companion of the female variety to keep locked in your basement-with-kitchenette is not a requirement for living in 0.0 no, let alone having sex with the wretched thing when you are playing Eve... ffs).
You do however NOT wish to making a living running pos's. For pos's see someone else's guide.

Good Guide, although i'd say about Geminate that its a warzone atm, and the station system (mainly FDZ) is home to FE and Black flag alliance (i think, def FE tho) and also smash and roadkill base out of there. and dont foget the IPS residents are trigger happy.

Good read Rod :) Reminds me of the rules i followed close to 3 yrs ago :)
Tip : I bet there is a station in Stain where nobody has rented a office yet :) Or maybe not, but if you are a laser h0, like easy kills and easy to tank rats, go for stain even if it very hard to get to. t-nn is a good system out on the edge where nobody goes.

First of all, nice post.
Other tips,
1. Choose multiple stations to stash your gear. If one gets campedor taken over you will have another stash top work with.
2. Keep your eyes on Local.
3. get some skill in using Scan Probes. They are very useful for making emergency deep safe spots.
4. Keep your eyes on Local.
5. Make custom bookmarks of at least 3 safespots in every system you operate in, bookmarks of those safespots to every gate in said system and bookmarks to safespots inbetween every two gates.
6. Keep your eyes on local.
7. Very quickly make yourself aware of all parties that operate in your chosen area and make yourself aware of their customs and modus operandi. Key to survival is not to **** people off and to know who are the ones that will likely kill you and who are the ones that will not.
8. Keep your eyes on local.
9. If you descide to operate in a few specific systems, scan them out first and do so regularly (say each week). If POSes have been placed, then find out their purpose (for sovereignty, mining, production, safespots, base of operations, etc) and who owns it. You might want to think about either leaving or establishing a good relationship with them.
10. Keep your eyes on local.
11. Repeat 10 as often as you can.

very nice to read. i nearly smiled one or 2 times.
find out what does not get dropped by the local npc AND what could be useful for others in the area. obtain such blueprints and produce those items. seed the market with them. excample tractor beam.
collect as much loot as u can. 5 large guns can produce a small cruiser or industrial from the refined minerals.
get out of your npc corp. everybody will shoot npc corp people. being in a player corp even if it has only you and your alt in it might increase your survival chances. makes also setting standings easier for others.

Ok, with this lack of enthusiasm I'm sure noone is going to expect me to go soft on the 0.0 is too hard complaints right ?
Good, i'll keep this to refer to then. Guess there's no bread in writing player guides either.

Great guide, Rod. It's nice to see someone treading the middle ground between the "You must go to 0.0" and "0.0 is very scary and you will die instantly".

Pro: absolutely nothing
Con: it's a ****hole, full of pirates and self-important little aliances that make it a standings nightmare. It has way too few stations to be any good and most of the region sucks for mining and npcing anyway. there actually should be a huge sign on the Torrinos-> EC-P gate saying "HELL MAY BE DEPRESSING, BUT GOING THRU HERE IS DAMN NASTY TOO"
Well Said  and great guide Rod.

I have an easier way to get into 0.0 permanently:
1) Join a random corp that just so happens to be 0.0 mining lackeys.
2) Go down with them and rat for a while.
3) Get bored.
4) Post in corporation forms about how you have 0.0 experience and enough SP to not die horribly (3-5m seems to be the bare minimum, from my poking through it).
5) Get better corp. Unless you like mining, then stop at step 1.
But your way works too. Good post, all things considered and it being BoB =P

A very helpful guide, thanks a lot!
And looks like I need to train more skills before I move to 0.0... :P
