Edited by: Ex Caliburr on 28/12/2009 05:32:08 So, I've decided to go hardcore pirate..I want to drop my sec ASAP to get all red and menacing in overview..My first move was to try to one-shot a pod using an arty thrasher(high sec). I didn't care about the ship being concordokkened, I just thought if I strapped enough 280's on the damn thing I'd only need one grouped volley, even on a 4-day old char. I was wrong :( Just a matter of skills, or would I really need a cruiser for that kind of thing? also, any advice re: thread title appreciated

Because a number defines who you are and how good you are, you don't get special enchanted shoulderpads when you grind your faction to -10.

Pose a NewYears faction ship give-away on your alt, warp your main into the waiting pods and smartbomb to -10 in seconds.
Waste of valuable sec status imo, i'd suicide gank to -5, and make some isk along the way.

this.
If you cant manage this, you can always hit the ice fields which are always full of AFK/macro bears. One epic smartbombing spree later and win is achieved

-10 is a state of mind not a goalpost. Just go about pirate business and you will get there soon enough. Arbitrarily forcing the issue is dumb, and serves no purpose other than exiling you from high sec; a particularly stupid thing to force while you are such a noob. ~

That's what hauler alts are for, but point taken :)

I hate being flashy. Its pretty easy though just roam around in arty thasher and pop pods. Should get you to -5 quick. From there youll actually need to do real pvp probably, because you will be stuck in lowsec.

yeah, actually, you guys are right..-10 will happen in good time. Instead of racing for it, I'll just perfect my knowledge of game mechanics so I can yarr as much as possible, with as little sec hit as possible, while training up fast talk etc..to make it easier when I do need to get my sec up. read the piracy guide and got all excited to yarr :)

Fastest way to -10 is smartbombs and pod goo
If you land in the middle of about 8 retrievers, you can reach your goal in 1 jihad flurry if they don't warp out the pods.

This... I would however recommend if you are planing to keep your character that you move all your stuff to lowsec BEFORE doing this..

Yep. My corp office, and all my stuff is in lowsec already. Can't fly a big enough ship to do what Lady Karma suggests yet, however. This char is 5 days old..still doing learnings etc..biggest ship I can fly is a thrasher.

Autocannon shield extended thrasher can be very effective, go for it. Most people assume its a suicide alpha arty thrasher. I realise you say you are 5 days old, but with t2 ac's and destroyer 5, it will eat up pretty much any frigate/ceptors trying to get close, and even assault frigs if you lucky. Learn to shoot drones, and you can take on bigger things, who cares if you die, its cheap.
Just have fun, fly cheap ships, you'll die often, but make sure you learn from death rather than get upset. Good luck sir in your endeavor.

The docking perimeter at jita 4-4 makes it unworkable. By the time you are 5km from the station you are out of the main blob of people

I love that clip.
It inspired me to make my own smartbombing run in jita. You can't do it any station, but the perimiter gate is usually full of pods, frigs, adn shuttles that have autopiloted all the way there and are hovering around the gate. It took me a few minutes to buy and insure an armageddon, fit it with smartbombs, then bomb the gate. Went from 0.0 sec to below -5 in a few disco bursts.

Being Flashy is suprisingly restrictive once you get there. Believe me, I'm not even -5.0 and it was a shock how many 1.0 and 0.9 systems seemed to pop into my path when moving around.
That being said, make sure you have a hauler alt to move your stuff out for you.
If you wanna go flashy, kill as many pods as you can. Please re-size your signature to a maximum of 400 x 120 with the file size not exceeding 24000 bytes.Applebabe

Edited by: Joe Stalin on 01/01/2010 01:03:04 1) Get you and your buddies out to low sec 2) Get in ships that can tank gate guns while holding a warp disrupt point on enemies to prevent their escape (When I used to do this on occasion, a Drake seemed to work great for me) 3) Camp a high traffic gate where solo noobs or haulers frequent 4) Kill everything that moves 5) Kill their pods too
Simple formula to achieve your goal. You'll be banned from high sec before you know it.
