Aceism	Posted - 2008.08.25 05:03:00 - [1] Hey guys I've got myself a Tristan and a rocket launcher plus a Medium Anode Particle Stream gun, as well as a Shield and Armour booster. I was wondering- what should I do to get a start on pirating? I'm currently training to get a Thorax, and I'm close to getting all the skills, but for now, what should I do? I have 105 million ISK at the moment as well.
Spaztick Canadian Imperial Armaments EVESpace	Posted - 2008.08.25 05:05:00 - [2] I'd start by not selling your GTCs for so cheap. But seriously, more people should have some type of spacer in their sigs to show it's not part of the post.

EDIT: 2.5) don't phail (I know this one will be hard, especially considering what I read in the first post, but try)

Inara Subaka Caldari the united	Posted - 2008.08.25 05:35:00 - [5] Originally by: Aceism What was wrong with what I described with what the ship was fitted with in the first post? Here, let me give you a list of what was right:
Darkerz	Posted - 2008.08.25 05:37:00 - [6] By connections you mean you buy Iskies ?
Emyth Juk	Posted - 2008.08.25 05:55:00 - [7] Edited by: Emyth Juk on 25/08/2008 05:55:38 Dude, the biggest problem is that you have no way of hold onto a target. Try fitting a webber and a scram. Oh, and a frigate working alone isn't gonna be able to kill much. Use your 'connections' to scare up some friends or a better ship.
Golden Helmet Caldari The Python Cartel	Posted - 2008.08.25 05:58:00 - [8] Allow me to be the first to give a slightly constructive post. That Tristan kit, simply put, is terrible. Lasers don't go on Gallente ships. Switch the turrets to Blasters (Electrons or Ions will probably fit easiest with your skills), keep the rocket launchers. Secondly, drop the shield booster. Gallente ships don't shield tank, and no ship tanks both shields and armor simultaneously. I don't know entirely if it fits (I've never flown the Tristan, I'm an Incursus fan) but try a small armor rep, 200mm plate, and a damage control. For your meds, MicroWarpDrive (or an afterburner if you can't fit an MWD), a 7.5k warp scrambler, and a stasis webifier. If all that fits, it'll be a solid fit for piracy, just be careful in what you engage (as with all frigates). Next time, read your ship bonuses so you know what to fit, and look around at other setups so you know what to fit (i.e., shield + armor tank = bad idea). And don't buy iskies. It makes baby jesus cry. The Python Cartel is recruiting low sec pirates!
Spectre3353 Gallente The Python Cartel	Posted - 2008.08.25 12:49:00 - [9] I'm going to suggest you sell or put away the Tristan for now and buy an Incursus instead. The Tristan is a tough ship to fly well if you don't have good fitting skills not to mention it uses three different weapon systems (hybrids, missiles and drones). General Incursus fitting: Highs: 3x Electron/Ion Blasters w/ Antimatter Mids: 1x Microwarpdrive 1x Web 1x Scrambler Lows: 1x 200mm Plate 1x Damage Control or Magnetic Field Stabilizer or Overdrive Injector or whatever you can fit with your skills Drone: 1x Hobgoblin Good luck. ----- My Pirate Blog: http://evenewb.blogspot.com/ My Ransom Board: http://www.pcransomboard.com/
Aceism	Posted - 2008.08.25 13:59:00 - [10] Thanks alot for the people who actually helped
Bronson Hughes ADVANCED Combat and Engineering	Posted - 2008.08.25 14:01:00 - [11] Come to Fua Constellation in Domain. We can teach you how to PvP. Amarr space may be a bit of a trek for you, but it should be worth it. -------------------- "I am hard pressed on my right; my centre is giving way; situation excellent; I am attacking." - Ferdinand Foch at the Battle of the Marne

This. The Incursus is much much easier to fit/skill for compared with the Tristan. Sig removed, inappropriate link. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] ~Saint
Aceism	Posted - 2008.08.25 22:47:00 - [13] Okay, thanks guys. But I don't think I want to get the incursus because I'm almost done skill training for the Thorax. What should I fit that with, and what sec do you guys recommend I go in with it?
Nexus Kinnon A Few Good Men.	Posted - 2008.08.25 22:51:00 - [14] Originally by: Aceism But I don't think I want to get the incursus because I'm almost done skill training for the Thorax. If you won't take advice, why bother asking for it?

If you won't take advice, why bother asking for it? Because I was asking the question for the level I was at there. Now I'm able to use a Cruiser so I would prefer that.

But I don't think I want to get the incursus because I'm almost done skill training for the Thorax. What should I fit that with, and what sec do you guys recommend I go in with it? I would again recommend you stick with the Incursus a bit until you have some skills and experience. It is like a mini-Thorax in a lot of respects so it would be good training. That being said, here is a pretty newb friendly Thorax fit that I love to use: Highs: 5x Small Neutron Blasters w/ Antimatter Mids: 1x MWD 1x Web 1x Scram Lows: 1x 1600mm Tungsten Plate 1x Damage Control 1x Medium Armor Repairer 2x Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane Drones: 5x Hammerhead or 5x Valk or 5x Vespa-600 ----- My Pirate Blog: http://evenewb.blogspot.com/ My Ransom Board: http://www.pcransomboard.com/

What should I fit that with, and what sec do you guys recommend I go in with it? TBH, you should train for battleship ASAP and hop into one of those instead of a cruiser (the Dominix only requires BS Level 1 so it shouldn't take too long). After all, bigger guns means more damage means more killing.

Nexus Kinnon A Few Good Men.	Posted - 2008.08.26 00:01:00 - [21] Maybe we could 1v1 to structure sometime to test how your PvP skills are going before you try it out in real pvp?

Maybe- but what would be the difference between this and PvP? Well, we would only fight to structure so neither of us would risk losing a ship.

Don't get me wrong- I appreciate the offer, but I'd rather do something like that with an EVE player which I know in real life. I hope you understand I don't mean to be rude or anything, but even though you might not, and probably won't, I just met you and don't know you well enough. Thanks for the idea though! It's good to know all of these things I can do to help start pirating.

Temujin Ambaghai	Posted - 2008.08.26 02:16:00 - [28] Beware of the trolls!!! seriously though... forget the thorax, forget the domi... play with the incursus, lose a lot, kill some other frigs learn much... use the fitting that above player that was being helpful gave you. you are not anywhere near the level where you should be to fly a cruiser, let alone a battleship. you have what, 1.2 mill sp??? you shouldn't really be touching a bs in pvp till you have at least 7-8 mill.
ThosePeople	Posted - 2008.08.26 02:46:00 - [29] Keep in mind that just because you have the skills to fly the ship doesnt mean you have the skills to fly it good enough to be worth flying. Dont fly a cruiser until you have the support skills to fly it decently
Merin Ryskin Peregrine Industries	Posted - 2008.08.26 02:56:00 - [30] Edited by: Merin Ryskin on 26/08/2008 02:56:47 Well, the first thing you need to do is ebay yourself some more ISK. Since you're only in a frigate, you're going to need to spend quite a bit of money on it to be competitive with pirates in bigger ships. I suggest the following fit: [Tristan, New Setup 1] Low: Cormack's Modified Magnetic Field Stabilizer Cormack's Modified Magnetic Field Stabilizer Estamel's Modified Co-Processor Mid: Domination Warp Disruptor Estamel's Modified Invulnerability Field Estamel's Modified Invulnerability Field High: Dread Guristas 75mm Railgun, Antimatter Charge S Dread Guristas 75mm Railgun, Antimatter Charge S Dread Guristas Rocket Launcher, Gremlin Rocket Dread Guristas Rocket Launcher, Gremlin Rocket Core Defence Field Purger II Core Defence Field Purger II Core Defence Field Purger II But really, the best way to get into priacy is to find a pirate corp. Once you buy the ship, look me up in-game, and I'll take you out pirating with my corp.

Aurelio Baran Caldari Radically Awesome People Eaters	Posted - 2008.08.26 05:51:00 - [32] Christ, everyone has been yankin' your chain. Two lessons: 1) Bigger ship ==/== better All because you can fly a ship doesn't mean you should. Unless you have support skills to back it up, you will quite frankly suck and be too easy of a target. IE: One month old battleship pilots 2) Never trust anyone in Eve. If you do, it's your fault when you, and most likely, get screwed over. Question everything. Other than that....meh.

Yeah, the only people I trust are people I know in real life, or someone I've actually known for years that I didn't meet from EVE.

Amarr space may be a bit of a trek for you, but it should be worth it. There is pew pew in amarr space that isnt Kamela? Ive been mislead or are you trolling? Either way i must check it out.
Lana Torrin Minmatar	Posted - 2008.08.26 08:24:00 - [35] Originally by: Aceism Yeah, the only people I trust are people I know in real life Thats moe people that I trust.. I know a bunch of goons though, so they would rip off their own mothers in this game. (sponsors fee my ass!)

Broken Rose Minmatar Malum Crusis	Posted - 2008.08.26 09:56:00 - [37] I would seriously follow the advice that the majority of the folks here are giving. Start small, just because you can fly a cruiser don't mean you should and its much easier to replace a frigate after you've ****ed it up for the 10th time. You may have 105 mill but a decent fit on a frig can set you back 5 mill at least, my rifters used to be worth that with decent fits. Also begin by can flipping, its a good skill to learn and unarmed miners can and will bring bigger ships that require you to adapt to survive. Broken Rose
