Ten Tips For Becoming A Pirate On Eve Online

I am writing this article from being a corp owner and trainer of other Pirate PVPers in Eve Online for my squads. Seeing all the mistakes new players make I thought I would write this guide and save you some ISK.


Tip One: most Important:

Do not try to move up to the biggest ship as fast as you can. You will only lose it. Instead build up your skills 100% to the ship your in, then move up. Your goal is to get to a battle cruiser.

Tip Two:

Once you have a battle cruiser for your race, Max out your skills for that ship (I have single handedly wiped out 3 ships in a single fight with no help)

Tip Three:

Take Advantage of your ships bonuses, IE if it says you get a 15% to medium turrets fit your ship with those types of weapons. If you get a repair bonus fit your ship with a repper. It will come in handy during battle since you can then run the repper as you fight.

Tip Four:

Find a group or corp to play with practice shooting at each others ships in combat. By doing this you will learn what your ship can do and cant do. Listen to orders from the senior players, however if the orders seem reckless to you or your ship you just might want to find a different crew there are a lot of squad leaders out there that are just not good. Try to hook up with some 1 or older players, you would be surprised how willing they are to work with you.

Tip Five:

Dont divide your firing power on serrate targets in Eve Online. Always put all your weapons to use on one target. To maximize your force and take out the target. If you gt down to about 20% hull warp to a safe spot, rep and go back to the fight.

Tip Six:

Learn How to use your scanner, It will show you where your targets are it will also alert you to your targets friends warping in to get you..

Tip Seven:

When Pirating always travel with 2 or more friends. One set up to warp scramble and Net. (this player is called the tackler) Its an important job . Your there to stop the target so the other players can take it out. One player should be whats known as "The tank" a tank will be able to hold off the gate guns for some time. The Other player should be all out weapons for a fast kill.
Once the target has been destroyed. The Tackle can then anti warp the pod and hold it for ransom.. 1 year old and older this works on since older players tend to have implants.

Tip Eight:

Do not smack talk your targets you will gain a lot more respect in local. Get your randsom and don't ever blow up your target after they pay up. Just leave to your safe spot.

Tip Nine:

To make extra ISK while your still new to Eve Online be a mission runner for other players haul their stuff to .0, use a small fast frigate with a microwarp drive. I remember being 3 months old and just crashing gates all the way deep into pure blind and beyond and making 20 to 30 mill Isk a clip.

Tip Ten:

Max out your learning skills before doing anything.. This will aloow you to train faster than most people in the future. your learning skills speed up your training time.. Yeah i know you want to go peew peew really fast. However don't ruin your char, Train those learning skills.

In a final note follow this simple advice and it will make you a stronger better player!

5 Top Tips For Eve Online Pirates

We all know what piracy is, attacking ships for profit. If you do it for fun, thats greifing and a whole different scenario. This is a guide to belt piracy, which as you can imagine is done mostly in belts and complexes. Theres a few things every pirate should know

1) You will lose your ship. Bad stuff will happen 10 guys will jump you at a gate and you will die. This is why you should fly inexpensive ships.

2) Some people will dislike you. If you have problems with that don't bother with piracy in the game it wont be for you.

3) If you are nice, courteous and don't backtalk or smacktalk, people will respect you.

So now, the guide. This guide assumes you have a decent understanding of pvp.

Rule #1: Never ever ever ever ever kill after a ransom where the target pays.

Ransoming:

Ransoms are a great source of cash, especially pod ransoms. Implants are worth nothing to you but are worth a ton to him, so lock down his pod and open a convo and give him a price based on his characters age. I've heard of pod ransoms going for as much as 50 million or more. Give a price based on character age and how the guy acts. If he tries to log out to save his pod and you manage to get it, double your price for him being a fool also you now you know he has implants. Pod ransoms rock because you get nothing from killing the pod and ransoms can turn an easy, profitless kill into something that pays for your next ship.

Ship ransoms are generally not as popular. Its hard to make the other guy stop shooting so unless you can tank him a long time, its not possible. Good ransoms are on like mining battleships. Lock them down, take then into structure and convo them. Tell them to stop shooting if they still are, then tell them to pay. Usually give them a price around what they would lose. i.e. Insurance cost or cost of the tech 2 ship. Don't be afraid to negotiate, if it makes you money its worth it.

I tend not to like ship ransoms because when they pay really fast and easily, you know they may have had something worthwhile on board.

General ransom tips:

Don't take too long, and watch local. If you see local jump or if he may have friends in the system, ransom quick or not at all. Nothing is more embarassing then opening a convo and demanding money then getting blown up.

How to find targets:

Heres the hardest part and theres not much advice I can give. Get good with the scanner, be able to know exactly whats in the belts withing a few seconds of entering the system. Find a good scanning guide somewhere. A known pirate will very quickly be recognized in local by any smart character. So you need to be fast if you want to get the good targets. Belt Piracy should occur between .4s and .1s. Try to find a nice long 30+ chain of systems.

General tips to avoid being ganked:

1) After you attack someone in a .1 to .4 there is a 15 minutes timer where sentries at gates or stations will fire on you. During this timer, continue scanning belts for additional targets or simply sit in a safespot.


2) Don't enter high sec space if your security status gets messed up. A general guide from eve-o.

Players with -1.5 or greater can enter all systems

Players with -2.0 or worse cannot enter 1.0 systems

Players with -2.5 or worse cannot enter 0.9 systems

Players with -3.0 or worse cannot enter 0.8 systems

Players with -3.5 or worse cannot enter 0.7 systems

Players with -4.0 or worse cannot enter 0.6 systems

Players with -4.5 or worse cannot enter 0.5 systems

Once your security status reaches -5 you are considered an outlaw and can be attacked by players anywhere without CONCORD intervention.

3) Try to pirate in groups. This has 2 major advantages, you can take on tougher opponents and you are more likely to be able to beat whoever might come after you etc. One thing to keep in mind is that if someone attacks you at a gate and you are below -5 only you can retaliate, anyone else, whether in your gang or corp will get fired on by sentries.

Recommended ships/setups:

Almost any ship can be used to great success. Its a good idea to have a heavy tank, this allows you to survive more situations and possibly go through sentries when flagged for attacking someone. Obviously, you'll need at least on scrambler, a webifier is also another good idea. Battleships don't work so well for piracy, they are slow and locking is much more difficult. Also, ganksquads are more likely to see battleships as "worthwhile." In other words if you're in a megathron, someone is more likely to come after you wtih 10 guys and sit in the system for half an hour. People will still do this on smaller ships, don't ask me why, so be careful anyway. Also, rewards in piracy are rare. While you may get a 40 mil ransom, or kill a covetor with strip miner IIs, its not going to happen every day, every week or even every month. Because the money comes in sparse intervals if at all, its a good idea to fly a ship you can afford to lose several times over. Never pirate in a ship you can't afford to lose.

If your ship setup calls for an mwd, its a good idea to carry around an afterburner just in case you see nice targets in a complex.

Behavior:

This is more important then you can possibly imagine. The only thing more important to a pirate then his ship is his reputation. If you want to receive ransoms you need people to trust you or better yet, like you. Always be nice and never smack. If someone asks for advice, give it. Never use warp stabs, if you are afraid to lose your ship, don't pirate in it and buy a cheaper ship. Its pathetic and it shows people that you plan to lose battles. Frankly, if you get killed with them on when you initiated combat, it should be flat out embarassing. Warp stabs belong on haulers and miners, NOT pirate ships. NEVER kill after a ransom, when you do that you hurt yourself, your corp and pirates as a whole.

How To Guide For Pirating In Eve Online (Noobs)

20 Tips for new Pirates In Eve Online

REQUIREMENTS In The Game

For a low SP character
Many new characters may think themselves useless as pvpers; but this is most definitely not the case. In a frigate you can take down, or immobilize, an opponent much larger than yourself. They key to not die is speed. Therefore it is totally essential for all new characters to train for a micro warp drive. Now that the missile changes have come to pass, an afterburner is probably more viable, though having the skills for a micro warp drive is a very good idea.

This will help you to take reduced damage from missiles and evade turret fire.

A
new pilot should invest in the following skills:

Afterburner IV
High speed maneuvering I
Navigation IV


Afterburner IV is probably the most time consuming of the skills that you will need.

Next, you will need to be able to use a warp disruptor or warp scrambler, to stop your prey from warping away.

Both of these have their benefits, however i recommend using a warp scrambler as a lot of your targets may carry a warp core stabilizer, and the -2 scramble on this item is more likely to stop them from warping. Secondly, a warp disruptor uses too much capacitor to be run easily on a frigate.

To use this module you will need to train:
Propulsion jamming I
Navigation II (you should already have this at IV)
Electronics III

Since you now have the two main essentials: you may also want to fit a stasis webbifier (which has the same requirements for skills as the warp scrambler) to slow down your prey. However this may not be necessary if you are in an asteroid belt or at a planet etc as your target has nowhere to run.

Of course you need a ship to fit these to, and i recommend either the KESTREL or the RIFTER as both have the ability to lock down a target, while staying reasonably fast and dealing some good damage. For the kestrel, the choice between rockets or standard missiles is one best left to you. Rockets are better for close range combat as they have a better damage/time. For the rifter, experiment with the guns/missiles, and find out which suits your style best. An INCURSUS fitted with blasters is also a good option or gallente users. For amarr, the punisher is a solid frigate but lacks midslots. With pulses it can still be damaging and can absorb a lot o damage, so it is a useful ship in a gang.

At this point i would not recommend training gunnery skills too much.

Now, running a microwarpdrive and a warp disruptor, along with whatever else you wish to fit, is a drain on your capacitor. Capacitor power relays in the low slots can help you to sustain the modules.

These require:
Energy grid upgrades II
Science I
Engineering II

(don't worry about all this training: it doesn't take very long, and many of the skills are essential later on anyway)

The rest of the slots on your ship if you have any free) is really up to you.

WHERE DO I HUNT?
By now you are thinking; "Great I'm ready, where do i go to kill!"

Unfortunately it isn't that easy. To find targets, you need to go in 0.4 and below systems. These are often sparsely populated, but now and again you can find something to kill.

Try to look in the less busy low security systems, as this is where miners are more likely to be hiding. Fly around these until you see a possible target in local.

Then you use your scanner to see what ships are in space. (see "using the scanner" near the end of the tutorial) If the scanner shows a prime target, such as a hauler or a mining cruiser; off you go. To find him you can either

Browse the belts.
Use the scanner and narrow him down.

Using the scanner like this is difficult at first, but often quicker than going through the belts, and well worth getting used to.

USING THE SCANNER
First of all, position your camera so that it is facing in the same direction of your ship. From what i have seen, the "nose" of your ship when at rest points to the 5degree scan (although this is very difficult to find people with as it is so precise)

Firstly, set your overview settings to show asteroid belts, then do a 360 degree scan at full range (about 14 au)

Proceed to narrow it down until you have only the ship and the belt on the scan: the ship is most likely at the belt. Warp in. Don't worry about messing up a few times, this requires a LOT of practice.

Once you have your prey in your sights: its time for

THE ATTACK
Orbit your prey at your optimal range and engage your warp scrambler and weapons. If all goes well and you get him to structure, convo him (if you wish to ransom and not just destroy the ship) and ask for a toll. Choose this yourself, judging the value of his ship and modules and thinking how much he would lose if he went boom.

The actual technique you should sue depends on your ship, your fitting, and your opponent in the game. For most purposes I would suggest having a close range fitting (ie: AUTOCANNONS/ROCKETS/BLASTERS/PULSES for minmatar/caldari/gallente and amarr respectively. If you are using a MWD, then i suggest you engage it to close the distance between you and your foe. Once you are within range and hopefully under his guns) turn it off and orbit: this will save your capacitor for other essentials like guns and repairers.


I advise you not to pod kill your target, as the security status hit for this is very heavy, meaning you wont be able to go into high security space.

Once your prey has paid you (hopefully) let him go by deactivating your guns/scramblers. If he did not pay, send him on his merry way in his pod.

Do NOT go near the sentries for 15-20 minutes after you have commited a hostile act, as it will leave you in your pod. (sentres are cruel masters)

The new introduction of the criminal flagging counter is a very good indication of when you are flagged or not but I wouldn't trust it fully.

SECURITY STATUS
When you kill a player's ship, (and more seriously his pod) you receive a security rating drop. This can only be raised by killing battleship npcs, which is probably way above you at this point. Don't worry, if you want to be a true pirate, you can worry about this later: just make sure you don't get trapped in a low security system surrounded by a lot of high security ones, as you may find it hard to get out. Once you reach -5.0 you can be shot ANYWHERE without penalty, so be aware.

Security ratings:
-1.9 and above: you can enter all space freely
-2.4 and above: you can enter all but 1.0
-2.9 and above: you can enter all but 0.9 and above
-3.4 and above: you can enter all but 0.8 and above
-3.9 and above: you can enter all but 0.7 and above
-4.4 and above: you can enter all but 0.6 and above
-4.5 and below: you cannot enter secure space without being fired upon by the navy/concord

Expect to lose ships often until you get the hang of it. Don't worry: basic frigate setups are cheap.

Lastly: EVE is NOT a single player game, making friends is an excellent idea: and joining a pirate corp can help you to learn quicker and kill more (killing with friends beside you is much easier, and more fun)

Hope this helps, and if i forgot anything, feel free to post it.

Part II - Advanced Pirating Techniques
By now you should be reasonably experienced: and for most of these options you should be able to use a battleship.

The first is probably the best way to earn money, but you will need friends or a VERY good setup. [This bit is mainly up to you, you should know how to fit things by now]

SENTRY TANKING
My personal favorite: for this you will probably need about 3 well tanked battleships for sustained tanking, or perhaps one or two if you are not staying under sentry fire. I would not recommend capacitor boosters for this unless you have a secure can anchored somewhere in the system for easy access as they tend to run out very quickly. I would advise a close ranged setup with a web and disruptor, and a sustainable tank. Having an alt in an industrial ship to pick up the loot is also a good idea. To be successful your best bet is to have a couple of people in cloaked ships watching for a "blob" which would overpower you. Begin to align for warp every time something comes in the system, just to be on the safe side. Pick a semi busy low security system where you may be able to make some nice money. Incorporating a nos or two into your setup could be the difference between life and death if you get attacked by anything cruiser size and down.

SNIPING
I'll be blunt. I hate this, but it IS a very good (and generally safe) way to make money and accumulate a lot of kills. This can be done solo, but you may not be able to kill larger ships quickly enough. Having an alt boosting your lock time, tracking may help, as will having an alt in an industrial to pick up the loot. To actually get in position for sniping you must be 150km+ from the gate. I would advise changing spots every now and then and keeping a clsoe eye on local. If a covert ops ship enters system it is time to run away :)

COMPLEX HUNTING
Since RMR, complexes have been very good places to find targets in low security. A heavy assault cruiser, recon cruiser, or well setup battlecruiser is your friend here. An afterburner is nearly essential, as a microwarp drive will not work in dead space complexes. This is fairly simple: if you scan a ship in local and there is a complex simply check it out. If you "patrol" certain systems make a point of checking the complex every now and again. If it is easy you could do it for the security status and cash, if you are bored.

SCAN PROBING
By this point you will probably have had many people run to safe spots on you, or even leave ships and supplies at them. Probing is a great way to kill them or blow up their supplies in true pirate fashion. A covert ops ship with all the relevant skills is a great way to steal ships, or find your enemy. Simply scan the target down with the scanner, and drop a 3 AU probe in a "triangle" around his position (use moons and safe spots etc) Then hit scan. I advise turning on your cloak while it is scanning, and warping once the signal has been found while cloaked. There you go, have your gang mates war in and give your best "YARRRRR!" in local Chat.

Eve Online Pirates Show You how to Keep a Cool Head

It Takes More Than Fighting Skills To Be A Eve Online Pirate, As you will see here in this video clip. You also need to keep a cool head in Eve Online to win your Isk and deal with some pretty upset people. Here are some great examples of how to deal with targets and keep a cool head




Who I Am And Where I'm Going

I originally started playing eve-online in 05 and ran a pretty successful legit corp. In thirst for more action I moved my Corp down to .0 space , guarded a small section of space for an alliance and we did very well.

I hungered for more Isk , more battles in the game and left my corp behind and joined the "Muffin Factory". Here I found a home and some great friends to play with. I am currently inactive in the game and will be back soon full fighting force. I will add more here about myself and will not ever mention my characters name due to the nature of what I do in the game.

In the mean time scroll down to the right for some good clips from Eve Online

Inner Workings Of Eve-Online

  • 1.1 What is EVE Online?

    EVE is a massive multiplayer online game (MMOG) set in a science-fiction based, persistent world. Players take the role of spaceship pilots seeking fame, fortune, and adventure in a huge, complex, exciting, and sometimes hostile galaxy.


  • 1.2 What does "massively multiplayer" mean?

    The term "massively multiplayer" describes a relatively new form of computer game that has gained popularity in the last decade. Players connect to the game servers via the Internet and interact in real time with other users worldwide.

    In the case of EVE, a nominal monthly subscription is charged for each player’s account; users are responsible for their own Internet service fees. EVE is not a stand-alone, single player game and can only be played online. Unlike most MMOGs that split a large player base up among small clones of the same game world (called "shards") containing no more than 3,000 people, EVE is unique in that all of its players inhabit the same game world.




  • 1.3 What does the term "persistent world" mean?

    All games in the MMOG genre are created to be "persistent worlds." This means that unlike single player games - where the action screeches to a halt when the user has turned it off - the game world will keep evolving even when a player has gone offline, much the same way as the real world continues to evolve when you go to sleep. The game world, and anything the player may have left in it, such as undocked ships, will continue to exist and will be visible to (and possibly destroyed by) other players.

    In a nutshell, EVE can be described as an alternate reality, similar in many ways to virtual reality as depicted in, for example, the film "The Matrix." The only difference between the Matrix and EVE is that instead of accessing the world through a neural jack, it is accessed through the Internet and participants interact with it via a computer.




  • 1.4 How is it possible to connect all the players together in one world?

    The game client, including graphics and sound, is distributed and sold like any other game. To be able to play EVE, however, players must connect their client to the game world through the Internet. The game world is based on a network of servers in London maintained by CCP, handling all interactions between the world and the players. When players log into the game, they instantly become a part of the same game world as all other players that are logged on at that time.




  • 1.5 How is my persona represented in the game?

    Players are represented in the game by avatars, both as ships and with a customized portrait created by the player. It is not possible to exit your ship and explore planets or space stations. Each EVE Online account contains three character slots, giving users ample opportunity to try out different skills, races and appearances.




  • 1.6 How do I save the game so I don’t have to start all over again the next time I want to play?

    Unlike single-player games where all the information about your characters, actions and the game world itself are stored on your hard drive or accessed with a disk, most of the information about your characters and belongings in EVE are stored on the servers owned by CCP.

    These game servers will keep track of the players while they are connected to the game, tracking all interactions between the players, such as trade and combat, as well as your character’s inventories and progress. It is not necessary for you to have the EVE disk in your computer when you wish to play; however, EVE must be installed on any computer you use to play the game.




  • 1.7 Can I let my friend play one of my characters while I play another one on the same account?

    No, you won't be able to do that. Since users connect to the game using a unique username and password, it is possible to install and play EVE on multiple computers, though you can only log in one character per account at a time.




  • 1.8 The game was released in May 2003, so if I start now, won’t all the other players be far more advanced than my characters?

    New players have joined EVE each day since it’s release, so you won’t be alone as you enter the EVE galaxy for the first time. Even players who have been playing since the beginning like to experiment with new characters, too, so not every "newbie" (a term used to describe new players in a game) will actually be a brand-new player.

    Though there are certainly some players who have already amassed a great deal of wealth and equipment, this will not affect your ability to advance in the game competitively. There are starting areas for new players where you will be safe until you have gained enough skill and experience to venture out into the wilder, more aggressive areas of space.




  • 1.9 Is the game continuously updated with new content?

    Yes, the game frequently updated with patches that introduce new content, address balancing issues or resolve the occasional bug that might rear its ugly head, as happens with all computer software. When these patches are available, they will be automatically installed on your computer when you start the EVE client.




  • 1.10 What is basic game play like?

    The diversity and flexibility of EVE makes it difficult to categorize it by conventional standards. What it is depends on the level at which it is played.

    The game is set in an unknown portion of space, spanning thousands of solar systems, many of which are settled. Players begin by creating an in-game character equipped with a basic spaceship ready to explore the world. As they get acquainted with life in EVE, players can trade goods between systems or conduct other money-making ventures such as mining asteroids, transporting goods as a courier or even cleaning up debris for recycling. Financial gains made through such activities can be used to upgrade the ship with weapons and equipment and also to develop the character by purchasing skill packs used for training him or her in various skills he will need to advance in the world of EVE.

    When a player has mastered the basics of the game, aquired some money and equipment and advanced his or her character through basic skills, the possibilities become almost endless. Players who wish to explore peaceful paths may continue to upgrade their ships to bigger and better cargo vessels with high-end defenses, purchase advanced mining or research equipment and continue to develop their characters by specializing in their preferred skills. Others may elect to pursue a more dangerous path such as piracy, smuggling or bounty hunting.




  • 1.11 How does the massively multiplayer aspect of the EVE affect game play?

    The basic role-playing and space simulation aspects of EVE are really just the tip of the iceberg. When players band together to form factions and alliances, the game progresses to a more grand-scale strategic level. Political intrigue, corporate espionage and the very essence of Darwinism bring dimension and depth to the game as the struggle for fame and fortune ebbs and flows with each new day in EVE.

    However, the level at which each player decides to participate is a matter of personal choice. The game leaves ample room for continual progress and variety in all its solo playing aspects. For those who opt to do so, becoming the best lone-wolf pirate or bounty hunter is a never-ending task as the competitors are other human players who will employ every method at their disposal to gain an edge over the rest. Solo players are also able to hire out their services as mercenaries or hit men to other players or player-run corporations.

    The bottom line is that we at CCP have strived to create a rich and immersive universe centered on human interaction. Players can play the game as a simple space trading game or endeavor to control the largest, most powerful company in the universe. We provide the rules and tools, but it is the players themselves who create the adventures.




  • 1.12 What is the interface like?

    The ship control panel offers an easy point-and-click interface for managing your ship speed, defensive and offensive modules, power and other fittings.

    The NeoCom provides access to features you’ll be using often during gameplay, such as your character sheet, in-game e-mail, map, wallet and much more.

    The fully interactive map makes navigating the large galaxy much easier, allowing you the opportunity to set a course avoiding - or seeking out - hostile regions of space or to find the shortest route for speedier travel.

    Communication between players is done through an IRC-style chat interface. Players can create their own channels for private conversations or join one of the many public channels available.

EVE-Online What Its All About

EVE - EXODUS
EVE takes place in a cluster of stars far from mankind’s original habitat, planet Earth. How far away, and whether or not that cradle of civilization still exists, is a mystery. Humans arrived through a natural wormhole and, gazing up upon an alien sky they had never seen, were completely unable to determine where this new world was located. From the New Eden solar system, where the gate of EVE once led to the old world, humans expanded in all directions at a furious pace, exploring and colonizing rapidly.
Then, unexpectedly and seemingly unprovoked, the EVE gate collapsed in an apocalyptic catastrophe of a scale never before witnessed by the human race, ruining the New Eden system in the process. Thousands of small colonies were left in complete isolation to fend for themselves, cut off from the old world. For millennia they endured, clinging to the brink of extinction, and only a handful managed to survive.
Of those that lasted, five were to rise up and become the major empires that, between them, hold the balance of power in the world of EVE. Today, they are known as the Amarr Empire, the Gallente Federation, the Caldari State, the Minmatar Republic, and the Jovian Empire. Additionally, the world is full of several small, independent factions and states.
For more than a century, the five empires have lived together in relative peace. They’ve continually strived to maintain this peace, as each faction realizes only too well the grave consequences of a massive inter-stellar war. Recent technological breakthroughs in FTL travel, and the ensuing increase in space travelers, have shaken, but not broken, the fragile peace... at least not yet.

Newbury Street  is located in the Back Bay area of Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States. It runs roughly east-to-west, from the Boston Public Garden
