Arkena, my evil overlord is away on rl stuff. I have had no combat experience in eve but i am familiar with the mechanics.

Do you have any standard operating procedure advice and/or tips that you could give me?.

Ill be running a minmatar hurricane but im not yet skilled enough for my liking to be running it yet, nor have i accumulated enough isk for my liking either.

Currently carebearing in high sec at a slow but safe pace. I have a procurer for the hp.

I am at almost or just over 3 million sp now.

Ship name - The Blunt (Procurer).

Blink

Any advice is welcome and also, is running a small fighter very useful in combat or is it more for fun?. I would love to form a fighter squadron type thing, star wars springs to mind lol.

I know i could research this online but im sure you could probably nip a lot of trial and error and hours of reading in the bud very quickly for me.

I'd be glad to help!

Firstly, is that Hurricane for PvE or PvP? Either way, I strongly recommend you don't rush into it yet. You're absolutely right in hesitating before going in if you're new. You really, really need a solid skill base before larger ships become worth operating. And of course, it's more expensive.

IMO, mining isn't the greatest of ISK-making pastimes. If you add me as a contact - 'Arkenai Wyrnspire' and come over to Gallente space I can run you through some Security missions, which pay much better and help you out with standings and suchlike.

On the topic of 'small fighters'... Do you mean frigates?
Useful in combat? Hell yes! Frigates are a mainstay of PvP, and a huge amount of newbies go out to learn in them. I duel regularly in frigs and spend the majority of my time in them. A lot of people may think size is everything but there's a lot you can do with frigates.

Do feel free to ask more questions.

Yeah i guess that is a bit much to be starting with and pvp yeah. That sounds cool yeah defo. I will do when im next on. Currently i have a day left on a skill and then ill get on. My eve char is Dr Techenstein Techsalt That is 100% how it is spelt. Hahaha, just looked at a frigate and forgot how small they are compared to the bigger ships lol, yeah those are the ones. You just made me realise that going straight for the big toys is not a good idea yet as well lol. Ill tell you now as well, im not interested in gate gangking or miner gangking, i have done the equivalent in many mmos going way back. I am interested in gangking and stuff but on a much higher level than simply pwning borderline defenseless ships. An honourable space pirate of sorts, if you will. Also the market, thats going to be tasty once my master is back from rl stuff. "Oh, look!, There's, uh, two women f ing a polar bear". "Don't tell me those things".

IMO, some of the best PvP is to be found in frigates. Have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv7xQjW55XQ&list=UU6sG2iI6yhdRyruo53zZE2g There's quite a lot of frig vs frig and cruiser size PvP to be found in lowsec, especially in the faction warfare areas. Nice, checking now. Another ddos attack, how pathetic can people be seriously. Its like bad weather with 'god' being some little sht lol. "Oh, look!, There's, uh, two women f ing a polar bear".

Poor as dirt, and I really didn't want to kaboom his ship, so we were going down to hull. I had him in hull and was trying to stop shooting when the server went down and I'm worried I might have killed him. Haha, cool vid. ah no, poor pilot lol.
