I've played this game off and on for years. The story is always the same. I play high sec to learn the game and slowly lose interest. Now, i want to do PVP so I figure this time around I should just jump right into it instead of playing it safe to learn eveyrhing I can. Learn by doing.
So what is the best way to jump into PVP right away? Fly around solo? Join FW? Or join up with someone like RvB? |

When I started I fit some cheap ships and went looking for trouble in lowsec. Hang out at a belt and someone will land on you. Most likely they will have you countered. Joining FW and finding a corp is really when I began to learn it for real.
Not saying this is the best way. It is quite accessible, however.

If you want low-risk (no podding!), low-cost PvP you could do a lot worse than joining RvB for a taster. Then, look for a FW corp. |

As an option, just to dip your toes, consider hopping into some of the fleets hosted by the NPSI community. It's different than doing solo work, but still fun and you'll make explosions along the way:
Bombers Bar Spectre Fleet Redemption Road
All of those have public channels and Mail lists. There are other NPSI groups, but those are the ones that I personally have had the most fun flying with. You could also join a Corp and find a mentor (hint, hint).

I came here to suggest an NPSI group as well. NPSI stands for "Not Purple, Shoot It." (Purple refers to the color of your fleetmates when you're in a fleet.) Basically these are groups of people not bound together by alliance or corp ties, rather they are cooperating together for the sheer fun of it. No corp applications or API checks required. It's a very low-commitment way of trying out PvP.
Some of the NPSI groups cater to the more experienced PvP people - alternatively, there are new-player oriented corps like Pandemic Horde, Karma Fleet and EVE Uni. They are specifically set up to introduce people to their first PvP experiences.
CAS Combat Guild, a 23x7 NPSI fleet that I am part of, has a mixture of both brand-new pilots and 10+ year vets.
Do some research on the various groups mentioned above, and approach whichever ones sound most interesting to you. There's so much to learn about PvP that I personally wouldn't have been able to learn it very well on my own.

Highsec to nullsec gates. You can still get 1v1 frig battles even.

Great advise, thank you. I'll check out those groups. |

^this... so much this..
buy 20 frigs and go to FW space. Blow em all up and have fun doing so. I personly recomend red wine while doing so.. Try to learn as much as you can in every fight.. who is controlling range.. and why..? who is doing most dmg and why.. what ships can you fight in the ship you fly?
ask questions.. it helps to write it down, a combat log/blog. ask for feedback.. talk to the guys you fight.. ask for their opinion on what you could/should have done.
and remember.. have fun!

There is only one rule in eve. The #1 rule.
Once rule one is taken care of, go shoot something and get blown up. Laugh at the explody bits. Every time you get blown up, assume it was your fault. Figure out what you did wrong, and then do it again, but maybe without making the _same_ mistake.
I think fear of screwing up is one of the big impediments to people joining pvp. Don't be afraid you MIGHT screew up. Know that you WILL screw up. Repeatedly. Assume the same attitude in PvP in Eve as if you were playing an FPS.
My choice of pronouns is based on your avatar. Even if I know what is behind the avatar.

PVP as in an equal fight or GVP (killing people and taking their stuff solo) or FVP (getting in group of like-minded people and roaming around until you find a puppy to tear into little pieces)?
You need to define your goals better. |

grab and fit a ship and go hunting.
Thats the easiest way, trial by fire. You find out really fast if you like pvp or not this way.
Otherways: Take an Agony Unleashed course and see if its right for you.
join an alliance and jump into a fleet.
But all in all its the same, grab a ship, throw a fit on it, and go looking for trouble

oh and ask questions (this is where i messed up) if you lose, e-mail the guy and ask him to share how and why he beat you. A lot of pvpers, pirates included' will be more then happy to tell you where you messed up. why? because if you get better then there is a chance for a much better fight next time. Ask questions, take the answers you get, and don;t be a smart ass about it.

So what is the best way to jump into PVP right away? Fly around solo? Join FW? Or join up with someone like RvB? Highsec to nullsec gates. You can still get 1v1 frig battles even.
This, or some hi/low gates lead to quieter pipes where newbro miners try their hand. You should be able to 2 shot a few ventures before someone in a faction iWin ship kills you. D-scan is your only friend.

Fit a weapon to a cheap ship. Undock. Go to low sec or even better, null sec. Shot someone.

Get the right corp. EVE Uni, Brave, RvB all have continuous content. Dunno about the others, but Brave will generally cover the cost of tackle frigs and logistics, so free practice for you.
Play with frigs until you start to understand how PvP works. When you can blow the ISK then maybe try some dessies. |

My suggestion would be to get into a Warfare Faction and focus on the skills needed to fly a Faction Frigate like everyone else does. Then start with Novice outposts.
I've tried several regular frigates and every time, I get someone gate in in a faction frig that does 2,500 dmg to me in 3 seconds.
I have been actively looking for targets in my Manticore, FWF frig, you name it and I have yet to get a single kill. lol It's pretty funny at this point and has made me broke.
I'm off to go exploring to make some more ISK so I can start over.

The best way to jump into pvp is to find the first high-to-lowsec gate you can find and click "jump".
But that also depends on your definition of what 'pvp' is. You will find on the other side that a 15 man gatecamp that will have you sitting back in station in a pod before you even have a millisecond to assess the situation. YAY 1337 PVPERS!! YAY!!!! |

I too was going to suggest the NPSI roams, they are lots of fun.
Redemption Road run monthly New Bro Roams that are specifically aimed at new characters, the suggested fits can be skilled into in less than a day iirc http://www.redemption-road.com/forum/ Unfortunately this months New Bro Roam has only just happened, however most of the other roams are perfectly fine for those that are already familiar with eve/fleet mechanics, even with little to no knowledge on actual PvP. |

Try faction warfare, its awesome way for new players to come into pvp world. Fit frigate with t2 modules, go into militia region, try to stay away from systems with huge local and sit at novice beacons. Easy to learn, hard to master.
No links, no scouts. True solo pvp pilot.
