From gate camping muffins, 2003 players in rifters and pirate capital ships low sec piracy seems to have lots of variety. Lots of it is also great fun. Recently I collected most of the loot from around 2 months of active piracy in my trusty bestower. My method of piracy is usually solo or with just one other person. To date I've snagged 66 battleships (6 faction battleships), 66 battle cruisers, 9 command ships, a freighter, and a carrier. My weakness has always been never knowing when to run, I've lost 33 battleships, mostly Armageddons. I blame that on the ridiculous level of insurance coverage and the usual lack of players in low sec causing chronic boredom. Recently I collected most of the loot (sans t1 non-named loot) from around 2 months of active piracy in my trusty bestower. http://www.mediafire.com/imageview.php?quickkey=4vbktyedrnd&thumb=6 Looks like a lot, but in reality I'd be lucky to break 200 million in sales. Lots of other isk was made from ransoms and the extremely rare faction/deadspace drop. Barring the once in a blue moon faction/deadspace loot piracy will not make anyone rich anytime soon. However I feel that it is something low SP players can easily do, a battleship needs around 2 million SP to fly decently well and the number of pirates who splatter against it in fragile battle cruisers is quite amusing. The lure of youthful innocence can actually be an advantage. So to all new players or old ones looking to get into piracy don't let all the rubbish advice restrict you to using a rifter. If you have the startup capital and can make 10 million between each battleship loss start going after the bigger game! You likely won't get rich, but its great fun and you never know.

Low sp flying of BS is a recipe for fail. This is the exact reason I made this thread. Low SP battleship > low SP smaller ship. I presume you fly the rifter or something like that. The only reason I see to fly one is if you find it fun and don't play to make isk. T1 frigates really have no practical use. Now an interceptor maybe it will have a role in a gang, but that requires more SP to even get into than to be able to use a battleship. Oh, and hi general coochie .

And I really think that if you fit a battleship properly at 2 million SP you will beat any battlecruiser or cruiser of 2 million SP easily. Barring of course getting kited by a cruiser or something, but you can always fit a heavy neut or two then it really isn't a competition anymore. Of course fit it like crap which is how 2 million SP players usually fit it and you're going to lose to a rifter. The problem here is not the SP amount but the fitting, and that can be easily fixed.

What I am saying is that it is NOT the 50 million SP in gunnery which makes one able to fly a battleship. If one knew how to fit a battleship properly one would do very well at extremely low SP. What do you need to fit say an armageddon for example properly? Gunnery V Amarr cruisers IV Hull upgrades IV Support skills at III Drones V and interfacing at III would help a lot of course. Really the only significant SP is gunnery V, amarr cruisers IV, hull upgrades IV and drones V. This comes up to around 800k SP. That leaves 1.2 million SP for support skills and learning. All one has to do is instead of experimenting with newbie fittings to just copy a tried and tested fitting from a more experienced player. Join Knights of the Black Sun today. Contact emf in game.
