So yeah... we went out pirate hunting today... wandering around between the lowsec areas between the dodi area and bei, and would have been my first pvp experience (and no, i'm not counting getting ganked in my first month when i went into low sec as pvp). We probably went through a good 20 or 30 systems and didn't see one gatecamp, and the only pirates we came across was a solo recon and a vagabond, both of whom left immediately.
This really makes me wonder what people find so interesting about pvp... 1 to 2 hours wandering around and nothing to show for it? So this leads me to ask, if i want to shoot some pirates, where do i need to go? There are forums all over the place talking about how lowsec is overpopulated by pirates and its impossible to get anything done, but seriously... 2 hours with no pirates or anybody for that matter really brings out the carebear in me, which is baaad for pvp.
So here's my question. Where are pirates and how do i go about finding them? Or do i have to go through all the trouble of becoming a pirate just to get some pvp? (note, as a thorough carebear, the second choice is very low on my priority list)

You should probably go try to pick your place to roam based on the number of belts as that's where people usually pick their pirating grounds. But then again according to corpmates I'm lucky at finding **** to kill...

Amamake belt 3-1 .
Just wait. Bring some friends.
Though it's not really pirating cause everyone's looking for a fight.

Check ship kills/pod kills in the last hour before going hunting for a system. That or go to a lvl 4 search agent and type in my name or any of the other 100s of -10 guys who lurk in the C&P forum....

for that particular area i have a couple of tips:
(1) learn to speak russian, or at least to say "was there any need for that huge blob!!" and "ahh crap dead again"
(2) dont expect your targets to be in actual corporation or alliance, the pirates over that way have evolved.

Try Genesis region.
Antem has lots of noobs there who tend to blob.
Itrin is filled with skilled PVP'rs so better be careful there

Go to Mara or next door to Passari and sit in a belt. You'll find a fight soon enough.

you wanna have some fun pew pew?
come to "oulley" or "ishomilken" that kinda area anyway, id be careful what you wish for cos you may just get spanked.
not all pirates sit on gates and wait to get ganked, most of them are smart enough to realise this and change tactics accordingly.
anyway back on topic come to "oulley" for a spanking

how many ships did you have with you? what class? you will be very hard pressed to get pirates to commit against overwhelming numbers. people set traps for us all the time, and after a while you get pretty good at recognizing bait for what it is. also, if you're parading around with a bunch of battleships, gatecamps that can't take you will dissolve before you even realize theyre there.

Very organized pirates often sit on the Zinkon gate in Vehan late in the day. I forget the name of the corp but there are a lot of them, 20 to 30? Almost all -10.
Nearby Sahkt and 1-Smeb are always hot beds of pirate activity, gate camps are common. Break those up and many honest traders and miners will thank you. |

this man speaks the truth, or go to ingunn and set destination for amamake (like 13 lowsec jumps) your bound to come across something. If you don't before I guarantee you will once you hit Ama.

The Minnie regions (Metropolis/Heimatar/Molden Heath) tend to be more heavily yarr-populated than for instance Genesis, Aridia, Lonetrek, Placid, etc.
Wonder why

well I know that Lonetrek/Forge have sevral alliances very close by. We were just up there about 2 weeks ago on a "field trip" it only took the local "alliances" about a week to get to know us....once they did we quickly got blobed everytime, and I mean outnumbered at least 3-1. Also minnie regions have more consecutive lowsec jumps than anyother region without going through 0.0.

Yeah... but Forge is so much fun to live in 
Wish I had the roaming space of other regions, but it's been pretty fun where I am.

Try looking around the Essence Region, theres plenty of pirates around there. Veto stomps around there a lot and they are always a fun engagement (even if you lose the fight). Be ready for your gang to be ganked if not by Veto then by one of the other gate camps or roaming gangs. Theres pirates everywhere, you just have to know where to look. Yarr

This is a PVP thread even though the OP is a carebear.
For posting again with your PVP alt, please press 1.
If you don't want to tell us who your PVP alt is, please hang up and GTFO.
If you don't have a PVP alt, and you are posting here because your hauler got ganked in Antem, please stay on the line and share your feelings with a representative. We will copy&paste it into Antem local and have a good laugh. Don't bother to share it with the rest of the EVE world though because we don't think they will care a lot.

We got to do something to pass the day at work
As for the op and not finding gate camps. What was you fleet how big? What ships? Someone said it earlier and I'll reinforce what they had said. If your rolling a gang of BS CS and logistics and not seeing someone there is a reason. Gatecamps are our daily business kind like how mining and manufacturing is yours, we smell a gank squad from 4 jumps out and our gate camp is disbanded long before your scout jumps into the system.
So either change your tactics or just go back to mining because obviously what you were doing isn't working... We usually won't put ourselves in a position to lose ships.
