Edited by: Vladimir Shiranov on 24/09/2005 00:59:42 Like many here, I started off in this game when a friend of mine gave me a trial account(in this case my brother). Instead of starting off as a boring miner or industrialist - I was too take a more exciting route, pirating(YARRRRRRRR) I've seen many threads in the forums saying that newbies cannot pvp - that it requires months or years of skill training and investment, but I was eventually convinced this was not true.
Thank you pirates who have published guides in this forum - they are a blessing to me.
My setup is listed here - it's simple(I'm not good nor creative)
4x rocket launchers 1x AB 1x scrambler 1x webbifier(2x scramblers vs those stupid miners with WCS) 1x Capcitator Power Relay, 1x Small armor repair.
Day 1: 1 mil isk grant from brother Did tutorial - read up on combat. Decided to use a rocket kestrel, before going to my final setup, I used a small shield booster and a civillian shield boost amp - this was not particulary effective due to the fact that most people ran from me.
Day 2: First Kill My first kill was an innocent mining osprey - poor soul was mining alone, unescorted, defenseless. I turned on my AB and moved towards him - he sat their and mined. I hit my warpscrambler and my webbifier, and opened fire. He powered up his shields - but was quickly overwhelmed. He died fairly quick. I managed to warp scramble his pod, but he gave me a nice FU when asked to pay up ransom, I podded him(not smart)
Day 3: Big Money!
My second encounter with another vessel today, found a caracal npcing, I, not knowing about the missile nerf, believed I was serverely outmatched,(I figured 150 damage from those missiles was instadeath for me) I decided to attack anyways - thank god for the missile "nerf", I managed to repair his damage while ransoming the poor soul for a good 1 million isk. Thats enough to buy 5 kestrels.
Later - I ran into a mining barge, he fired 5 Vespa drones at me - I managed to kill them off whilr running my repairer, I killed the last one off when I was in hull. I convoed the person, and managed to obtain 5 million for my troubles.
I saw a ferox - and figuring that I'd die smiling - I engaged it. I died very very fast. I'll try not to engage battlecruisers from now on in a kestrel.
Day 4: Big Game
Today I engaged something I figured would kill me instantly, a Prophecy battlecruiser, Luckily for me, I managed to kill off his drones and his guns didnt hit me. Unfortunately, I couldn't break his tank. I called for my brother, who came in to help with his ship - I managed to get 10 mil out of that encounter.(Dunno what share my brother took, but 10 mil is alot for me)
Later in the day, I saw another ferox - hoping for the quick isk I got from the prophecy, I engaged it, I ended dieing very fast to his assault launchers :(
Heres the end of my tale - this game is very fun and I wish I had more time to play it, but college isn't any time to slack off. Within 14 days, I had a 1.9 mil isk bounty on my head, was had succeeded with a kestrel in ransoming or killing
1x Osprey 1x Prophecy(Woot!) 1x Mining Barge(I don't know which model) 1x Interon MK5 1X Comdorant 1x Kestrel
Total isk made from ransoms - 30 mil Total isk made from sale of loot 15 mil Total isk made overrall - 45 mil - 1 mil loan = 44 million isk. No begging, no scamming.

A ray of light thru the darkness of the forums...
Glad you are enjoying EVE so far, and being smart about the game instead of trying to kill BS in a Frig then whining on forums that you died. This thread is proof that in EVE even the 'noobs' can have fun and be effective in anything that WANT to do. Most people do not have that state of mind when they join EVE, they whine that they will never be able to do what the vets are doing, and blah blah blah.

Edited by: Vaevectia on 24/09/2005 04:33:10 You killed a Caracal?
I have a feeling that I could just sit still and not fight back for at least 40-50 to a kestrel fully equipped before I even really felt a dent :/ That's insane.
EDIT: I'm equipped with assault launchers, he must have had heavies. I think a caracal would mince you without even having to try if they were equipped like mine.
Good work on picking the right targets and I hope you stay :)

Yes - the caracal was using heavies - I was able to take the damage with a small armor repair.
You'd be very suprised how much damage a rocket kestrel can do it a caracal.

considering you can train cruser 1 as the first thing you do if you start at a carefully selected skilltree when minmatar, ay, you can do that.
however i opted for sield operation, engineering and stuff like that instead. --------------------------

Starting with frigate 4/ SC3 Electronics 3 should take him overnight Navigation 2/ Propulsion Jamming 1 in around 2-3 hours
Mechanic 1/Repair systems 1 - 1 hour
Engineering 2, Science 1, Energy Grid upgrades 2, around 4 hours.
Easily possible.

Great guy. We blew him up a few days ago, but he proved to be a good pirate getting some targets to us, the too much big ones to his kessie. Keep the good work. :)
