Hull tanked railgun catalysts and Derptrons (basically Atrons built around an MSE) have worked out well for Galmil.
Just remember to bring antimatter AND iron for the battalysts.

Those are both low SP dependent meta 1/2/3 fits designed to be handed out to the peasants during system fights.
Both run about 2M per ship and the fits are fairly self explanatory.
3x hull rig, 8x 150mm rails, MWD sebo DCU and mag stabs for the catalyst. MSE MWD and blasters on the atrons, requires a power core and then just slap on whatever additional bells and whistles you can. A blob of 6K EHP, 120 DPS frigates (with low skills) doing 4k m/s has its uses.
Meta fit kite tristans are nice too. No smartbombs in highsec, a cloud of 100 T1 light drones will hurt. |

Go to Tama. Or a nearby system.
Rapid Withdrawal lives one system over in Suj and are almost always active. We had over 7000 kills last month. In addition while I haven't been on in about two days, we had the contested level on Tama up over 50% and the Caldari were beginning to fight back. If that system is still being pushed, you'll probably see running battles between frigate and destroyer fleets throughout the day with bigger stuff being brought out occasionally.
Tama local is rarely below 40; if you want fights that is the place to go. And you get to teach your pet newbies how to avoid smartbombers!

Tama local is rarely below 40; if you want fights that is the place to go. And you get to teach your pet newbies how to avoid smartbombers! Tama is where I tried to learn. I looked up the closest place to Jita where fights go wholesale. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. You are usually schooled en-mass and rarely get any useful critique. I think I lost upwards of 40 ships trying to learn there and gained almost nothing in technique. The good news is that it's fights all the time, frigates are normal, and you will be entertained. I don't recommend it for novices unless you are in a local corp, as Demerious X recommended.
Tama is not a good place for solo or small gang as a newish player, that is true. Most of the local gangs/corps and many solo-ers will have links at all times. Implants and expensive fits are also common.
But Noragen has numbers to work with and the experience to wield them effectively. I also suspect he can get hold of a booster alt to even the playing field in that respect. Also keep in mind that FW is really the only area of the game in which you can earn income anywhere near efficiently in a PvP fit ship, a cheap one at that. All you have to do is catch one of the local shiny addicts with your Atron blob and your killboard is set for the night. Bring an insta-locking Thrasher for further chuckles as you collect the all-too-common billion ISK pod.
Tama is horrible for solo but amazing if you have numbers and a competent FC. And many nearby systems can also be promising for PvP. If you get tired of fighting mercs, Black Rise is your best bet.

Downside is that you're in the backyard of every merc corp who fancies themselves big enough to hold Jita.
Likelihood of 300 noobs drawing wardecs galore... High.
I'm tempted to say that you could move them to Jita if you start drawing wardecs. A 300 noob camp would be enough to make a mess out of more than a few of the local merc groups... And refitting would be instant and a cinch.
It's a backwards strategy, but 300 noobs undocking as fast as you can kill them would be hell to fight.
There are lots of nearby lowsec systems with decent markets where no "elite highsec pvp'er" dares to tread. Nisuwa, Nennamaila, Sujarento and Vlillilier are all good. Tama is frequently camped by an instalocker but docks/undock safes will manage that.

I'm not familiar with that system. If it's up past Kehjari/Martoh in the Northern wastes of Black Rise, I don't think there's a whole lot up there. I think there was a calmil corp that lived in Hykanima, but they may have joined Exodus. That might work for your purposes though giving you some fairly empty lowsec to play with that's still in striking distance of the more interesting systems. |

Jufvitte and Mesybier may be worth looking into also. Both are 0.5 systems not too far from Dodixie which border FW lowsec. While living so close to eve uni or OMS/syndicate appeals to me we get the issue of en mass wardeccers having easy access which works just fine for me but I would never be able to sell living on the 'mainland' of highsec atm. I checked out that other island but it's fairly empty itself and I kinda want other people there. These guys are beginning to believe that there aren't any other people in eve that aren't in our corp 
Vlillilier would be my recommendation. Decent market, tons of stations so you can have one to yourself and not be camped too much, and it holds a pretty central location in the war zone. Wardeccers are allergic to systems that are orange on the map I'm told. I have a feeling if you move a 500 man corp there, people will keep the market stocked. It was a major Galmil hub but I'm not sure if any corps still live there since Bastard Cartel went pirate.

What do the others do? If these are all new players, highsec missioning and mining are going to be laughable income sources. Not to mention mission hubs tend to attract war targets. I think PvE in a wardec magnet corp of that size would be more safely done in low or nullsec honestly. |

That megathron...why? Some people have more money than sense.
Must have caught them at the right time, would've expected far more logi backup. |

I'm proud to be flying with these guys, that was the most fun I've had in months in this game. For sure they did. This is a ongoing conversation where demerius here is convinced everybody in high sec can field 10 guards a piece. Blojo however are flat out scraping up 5 logi. The rest of pirat can usually blot out the sun with 3-5 bil Nestor's. But don't mind us it's an argument that has spanned a few dozen threads
Sounds like they had logi and somehow failed horribly on communication. I guess that fits with everything else I've heard about PIRAT here.
3 Guardians or Nestors should have been unbreakable by what you guys had but they decided to bail and some good samaritan neutral bumper had other ideas.
The unexpected friendly bumper is a pleasant surprise. I had a hyperion kill once because a kindly gent in a Machariel knocked him off station so I could slowly burn him down with my Vexor. I think I sent that guy some ISK. |

I forget that when you have numbers to work with you can put a mob in cheap ewar and ruin someone's entire day.

Are the Arumbians still in Aridia? My um, friend has been poking around in the nearby lowsec and is having some problems with extremely bored locals. |

I have a, ummm, close personal friend who is looking for something to do. Maybe he will put in an application. |
