They are also extremely casual and have zero tolerance for killboard elitism which is rare in PvP corporations.

If you do FW definitely join a corp, people from the general militia aren't generally trusted, and most fleets aren't made public (at least in TLF, I can't speak for the other militias). Plenty of corps will be happy to take a low sp character though - just be straightforward. A character that's a few weeks old going straight into fw looks like a farming alt. The alt thing isn't a problem as much as the farmer part, so just say straight away that it's an alt you made to try pvp and you should be fine. We're not worried about spies. It's FW, everyone's doing the same thing in the same ships, there's not a whole lot to spy on. <br /><br />Going by the fights we have against e-uni, I wouldn't recommend them if you really want to learn how to fight in a frigate. Aside from the fact that we regularly clean their clocks, half of small scale pvp is creating a fight on your terms, and you don't learn that jumping gate to gate in a blob until you run into a pirate gang. RVB is probably a little better, but it seems to me that the whole "we're all really friends who just want gudfites" thing takes something out of it. If lowsec is knife fights in dark alleys, RvB is laser tag.Anonymous Auga Residentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-35000212565229524812013-09-07T02:34:09.026-05:002013-09-07T02:34:09.026-05:00Stay Frosty.

We're no stress, fly when you want, and have some great teachers. One mil SP? Pfft - we've got days old pilots who've joined.<br /><br />Whaddya got ta lose?

They maintain a corp fitting list of stupidly cheap and effective low sp ships, and have a JF service that will haul your stuff into their home station for 10m a load. They have veteran pilot support from the Monkeys with Guns. alliance of which they are a part. They're pretty accident prone, but that goes with the roles they play in gangs, usually with the up close snuggle duty. They call themselves Gallente Privateers, as they fly for Gal Mil but pirate just as much as they spin buttons.The Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09943719085849242739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-47632411949843907522013-09-05T11:35:13.972-05:002013-09-05T11:35:13.972-05:00OK covering your options...

They're good for the formal teaching, maybe not as good for the practical side. There's more restrictions on what you can do whilst in the Uni. There's nothing stopping you from starting out at the Uni and moving on once you feel you're getting nothing from them any more. Note that getting in Eve Uni with a history is probably harder than as a clean character.<br /><br />2) RvB. We mainly wage war around The Forge, but you can be shot anywhere - people do get shot running missions in blingy ships. As we don't dock up during wars we're a popular target for decs especially with station campers. RvB (with a few minor exceptions) don't care about your history so you can join and leave at will. If you decide you want to go roam null-sec and shoot people whilst in RvB nobody will care. You can learn about PvP in RvB by paying attention and asking the right questions, remember though that RvB isn't officially a teaching organisation so you're not going to be sppon-fed.<br /><br />3) BNI. I've not been involved with BNI, so a little harder for me to judge. Looking in from the outide, things seem to be even more jump-in-and-go than RvB. There's some support for people new to PvP and when I've ran into them to shoot them they have a good attitude. They operate in low-sec and do shoot anybody, so you will go flashy (not neccessarily a problem).<br /><br />4) FW. The biggest problem with getting involved with FW seriously is that it can be quite hard to break into the core of a particular faction. The decent fleets tend to be closed to new/unknown players. In this aspect it's probably no different to trying to get into a nullsec alliance. So in the short-term you're not going to be taking part in the fights for terrority control etc unless you get a leg-up into one of the larger groups. This may also mean that you're more on your own as far as learning goes. FW has the big advantage that it's not purely an ISK sink - you can earn LP whilst in FW to help cover costs.<br /><br />There's other options of course.<br /><br />There are a few smaller groups in low-sec that will take on relatively new pilots - BRRC is the first that comes to mind.<br /><br />Also, don't rule out nullsec. Most obviously you can join either Test or Goons if you're a member of their out-of-game communities. Both have a good reputation for looking after their noobs (even if they have bad reps otherwise.)<br />Green Gambithttp://rvbeve.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-68411044054784002572013-09-05T10:12:09.510-05:002013-09-05T10:12:09.510-05:00Where you go really depends on what you are lookin...Where you go really depends on what you are looking for.<br /><br />I'd avoid Eve Uni. They are good for certain things but have a rep for being risk adverse in PvP.<br /><br />RvB will get you PvP but in a very shallow sense. Its good, but not with a lot of depth. For me it ran out of interest quickly.<br /><br />Brave Newbies will give you more depth but you will die a lot more as you are facing a lot of skill dangerous and unscrupulous people who like to pop them at home.<br /><br />Faction warfare will give you the chance for more depth once you connect with the organized militia leading corps and integrate into the machine. Then you can get small scale action or join up with the larger fleets with more setpiece activities. <br /><br />I would reccommend for you RvB to start and get used to the adrenaline rush :) But if you want to try FW, I know people in Gallente militia that can help you out :)Kirith Kodachihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12322297953184168725noreply@blogger.com
