This sounds like a stupid question, But how do people find so many people to kill when there flying solo??? Is there like noob systems where people rat in 0.4? I just want some pew pew :(

Just use your d-scanner + local to quickly work through systems to see if there are any viable targets. Once you get more efficient at determining whether or not it is worth it to stick around in a system, the kills come in faster.

If you are going to solo, I'd suggest a cruiser. They are a little better versus bigger targets, and when fitted right still kill frigates and the like fairly well.
I have no idea on how to fit a great cruiser for solo, and I'm not sure that a Assault or Interceptor are the best choice, though you could get poorly/decently fitted cruisers and lower...
Good luck. And I hear Old Man Star and a few other places (I know of one near me, but I'm keeping it secret ). ______________________________________

0.0 would the place to go to find people in belts, honestly. You aren't really going to catch really juicy fit ships ratting in low sec.
They may not even have webs or proper things to defend themselves against you, as well

Use the directional scanner to find them. Do max range 360 degree scan to find out if any targets are within 14 AU. If none are on scan then move on. If you do see a target then drop to 15-30 degree and try to find an approximate location. Then drop to 5 deg and figure out exactly what belt or whatever. It will require some warping around possibly if there is a planet 10 au away with 10 belts. In that case you would have to warp to the planet and scan each belt in it. All this takes about 30 seconds once you figure it out.
All this said, guys ratting in low sec are below afk industrial miners in ultra high sec space where not even frigate rats exist. Fittings are amoung the worst I've seen so don't expect to gain anything but lots of killmails and fan mail.

I agree with this, NPC(or even empty, player-owned) 0.0 can be a good place to pick off a sentient ratter.
Go to map, pilots in space in the last 30 minutes and check for systems that have 1-2.
Also check faction ships destroyed in the last 30 minutes(or whatever it is).

As a solo pvp'r it doesnt really matter how busy a system is, the art you need to perfect is that of 'seizing the opportunity'
Make good use of your scanner, be aware of what is around you before engaging and bail the second your scanner fills up.
Also if a system is busy, choose your targets wisely... ie. how long is it going to take me to kill this guy.

If you're in a taranis, I guess checking the FW areas for targets in the plexes should work for you.
Camping the frig/cruiser plexes will get you plenty of kills, if there is too much on scanner just run away.

You are in a taranis, right?
So, here how it works:
- Take Ombey 2d Maps. - Search for your region name. - Find a small mission hub in your region, or a crowed system, near starter system if possible. - Search for the closest Low-Sec from that point.
alternatively, you can search for little LS systems, be it a pipe between 2 empire systems (IE, Nomash, Domain) or dead-end ls (such as Mai, Domain). -----------------------------------------

Basically the militia players are fighting over those npc plexes you can see on your overview.
There is a timer inside these plexes, they have to approach that timer and run it down to get victory points.
They do not appear randomly, you can use the onboard scanner to find them if you look for 'cosmic anomaly'.
So what I'd do is find a system that is not too crowded but has a decent amount of faction warfare traffic and scan for plexes.
Once you find one sit at the plex gate and wait. When people jump in, check their info if they are militia members, and keep your scanner open to watch for ships.
Every now and then someone will warp to your plex and you can kill them, and their buddy that came to help them in a hurry
It requires patience, but you'll catch a lot of frigs and destroyers that way.

How will other pirates in the popular pirate systems recognise a pirate from a ratter? If I go in to kill ratters, will I be mistaken for a ratter and get attacked by other pirates, or will they identify a pirate/ratter by the ship/fittings?
Silly question, but just to know if I can expect an easy time just fighting ratters, or if I'll have to contend with PvP fitted pirates as well.

Anyone stupid enough to miss a neut jumping into a quiet 0.0 system deserves to be shot, shot again, then have there carcass thrown back to empire with orders never to return :)

A lot of ratters also have low sec status - in fact, many pirates rat to restore their standings so they can go back to their suicide ganking and other mischief in highsec. Is it fair to say that anyone not in a Battleship or a ship which is designed to take down BS spawns is a pirate, and hence off limits? Or do pirates kill each other anyway?

I think you only need to worry about other pirates attacking you under three conditions:
1. Killing you will result in a killmail. 2. Killing you will result in a lootable wreck. 3. Killing you will result in lols.
If none of those apply you can probably consider yourself safe from pirates while out hunting ratters.

Either scan them down, or just sit and wait at the gates.
For easy pvp go for FW. Stop whining. |

Most of the FW Plexers aren't flying well fit ships, and even if they are, they're aren't usually fit for PVP. Just watch out for the alliance guys. They usually move in fleets or have backup in the neighboring system. FOOM are the deadliest and they're a Gallente faction warfare corp. There's the 22nd Black Rise who are Caldari. Generally anyone in an NPC corp is a good target.

Anyone in low sec that isn't blue is a target to a pirate. That said most of us have atleast a few friends out there and they are of course set to blue. Things get very interesting when you find yourself in a 3+ way battle and that does happen sometimes.

I've never seen legit ratter except myself. Every time it is a chinese macro, which warps and cloaks their ship as soon as someone enters local. Such ratters are impossible to beat in a regular way.
But the macro is set to farm the belts only when no-one else is present in local. How do you catch them? What can you do about cloaking cruise ravens, which always align to a safe spot and warp when someone enters local.

That's cool! How does a new pirate on the block go about introducing himself to the existing pirates and avoid being shot at? Do we need to score a few kills to prove ourselves, or join their corp or something?
And yeah, it's almost impossible to kill a ratter unless he or she gets careless, overconfident, greedy or a combo of the above. At least not until changes are made to local to give a time delay effect. It's probably easier to kill another pirate (who at least doesn't run at the first sign of engagement, although we'd still run if the odds are against us. Ratters run the moment anyone appears).

Warping/cloaking when somebody enters local doesn't mean that they are chinese, or a macro. It means that they aren't stupid.

i was referring to chinese macro, stop defending pointless points... tell me how do you catch them?
if some chinese are farmers, all farmers are macros and some ratters farm belts... you don't have to generalize or draw a logical point. Use it for reference not for judgment.
