I found something that appeals to multiple facets of EVE and the internets that works as a very good analogy between the often "gimped" newbie vs the "omnipotent" veteran:
1. frigates != easy targets to big ships
2. frigates = ships that can still shoot back, if fitted
3. many veterans would feel lax if they spot "oh, t1 frigate in web, easy target".
4. everyone loves cats, especially on the internets
I give thee, The Analogy!
Another Analogy is here
Maybe someone should sticky this in the new citizens forum in case newbies start aiming at ships they obviously cant fly properly yet due to lack of support SP...
EDIT: add some tips for the newbies that The Analogy can portray:
a. use small ship maneuverability and small signature size to your advantage and render larger weapon systems unable to track and deliver damage
b. you can still fight back, albeit ineffective on your own, in groups of mice-err... frigates, you can make the cat-err... big ship pop, or at least run him off with his pride thorougly smashed
c. if it gets SNAFU really quick, make like the mouse and run. No sense in dying in a small ship only to become one more killmail statistic.

For a second there I thought you were going to make the analogy of Basement Cat vs Ceiling Cat.

I'd have posted that in OOPE. This isnt OOPE, this is very EVE-related

I disagree with number four. I don't care for cats on the internets.
I only like them shredded on a tortilla with hot sauce.

^^This.
I would have suggested a dog vs. cat analogy, but the same goes there — my cat has this annoying fascination with attacking great danes

I believe Ceiling cat > Basement cat but only on weekdays.
Caturday is just a whole new can of worms.

I love kittens. I hate cats.
There is a difference. Kittens love to play. They are like little puppy dogs.
Cats act so high and mighty. When one looks at you it says with its eyes "Get me something to eat slave....NOW!".

Incorrect, I hate cats, and I hate kittens more. And I hate them more when they pollute my interwebs.
Therefore I can't vouch for the accuracy of the rest of your poast.

No fair, cats can still find 1v1s. I say nerf cats. Cats are cool though.. they look each other in the face before they fight. Pretty bad ass.
Destroy all that which is evil, so that which is good may flourish. |

Unlike the tons of smacktalk often in stations when people cant get a "proper" fight.

Being into cats on the internet makes you look like an impotent pasty white fatty with gender issues. There's something inherit creepy with grown men and their obsession with cats.

t1 frigates can be useful if you have skills good enough to properly fly things that are better than t1 frigates.
