[QUOTE=iownuall;33568924]I don't get why people SD their caps in fights they know they're going to lose.

Having it show up on your record that you lost a terribly fit dread would make future recruitment more difficult.

Most big alliance's will pay for another or give you another cap usually.
Heh my solo tornado got hot dropped by a 20 man gang.
How do I get into PVP? I have only been mining so far and I would like to get into PVP, where do I start?
[QUOTE=ejonkou;33571457]How do I get into PVP? I have only been mining so far and I would like to get into PVP, where do I start?[/QUOTE]
From square one. Get a rifter.
From there:
Go to Red Vs Blue for some highsec PVP.
Find a lowsec pirate corp that takes in and trains newbies.
Find a 0.0 PVP corp recruiting newer members, gain some basic experience.
Run around lowsec and 0.0 shooting things.
Watch PVP videos and learn tactics and such.
Slowly work your way up to larger and more varied ships, to match your skill and experience.

So I just reactivated my account, and I just fitted my Merlin with this:
2x 150mm Railgun 1 (anti-matter)
2x Rocket Launcher 1
1x Small Shield Booster 1
1x Magnetic Scattering Amplifier 1
1x Heat Dissipation Amplifier 1
1x Small Capacitor Booster 1 (with 75 charge)
1x Co-Processor 1
1x Reactor Control Unit 1
I'm using this for PVE. Is it acceptable or is this completely horrible and should I kill myself for thinking this is alright?
If you actually want to kill anything you'll at the very least need a warp disruptor/scrambler. Let me see what I have from my days flying a Merlin.
This was my first setup, active tanked.
[Merlin]
Damage Control II
Magnetic Field Stabilizer II
Small Shield Booster II
Small Shield Extender II
Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
Light Ion Blaster II, Antimatter Charge S
Light Ion Blaster II, Antimatter Charge S
Rocket Launcher II, Thorn Rocket
Rocket Launcher II, Thorn Rocket
Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I

And then here's a passive one that some of my old corp mates gave me.
[Merlin]
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Micro Auxiliary Power Core I
Medium Shield Extender II
Catalyzed Cold-Gas I Arcjet Thrusters
Warp Scrambler II

TE-2100 Standard Missile Bay, Bloodclaw Light Missile
TE-2100 Standard Missile Bay, Bloodclaw Light Missile

I haven't flown a Merlin in quite some time so anyone else feel free to critique.
He said he's using it for pve.
My mistake. Too bad we don't have a bad reading rating anymore.

Just change the resist amps to whatever faction you're fighting and change the T2 stuff for meta fittings as needed.
Okay then.
i may, or may not have dreamed about eve last night.
It can be hard to tell sometimes because things aren't quite the same, and theres no UI.
I've been looking for some v1 to v2 skin comparison. I found it.

The v1 capsule was hideous.
There's a reason they're called eggs sometimes.
Lovin my setup. 2 280mm howitzers, 5 150mm railguns, and 1 missile launcher. The howitzers alone 1 shot virtually everything from 15km

Thrasher is a fine star vessel boat, the fit you're using isn't
what should I go with then
[QUOTE=-nesto-;33586200]what should I go with then[/QUOTE]
Autocannons or artillery, fit pure of each, and move yourself to a position where you are able to use them effectively. (Ideal range for ACs is not same as Artillery, so mixing half and half means you're doing poor dps at all ranges, rather than good dps at a particular)
[QUOTE=-nesto-;33586200]what should I go with then[/QUOTE]
You should research it a bit, check [url=http://eve.battleclinic.com/browse_loadouts.php]battleclinic[/url] and the dated wikis. The [url=http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/wensley/The_Rifter_Guide_Solo_PvP.pdf]rifter guide[/url] linked a few pages ago (though it's PvP focused) might help out a bit because the thrasher is basically a fatter rifter.
I was running autocannon and howizters before I switched them out for rails. The 2 howitzers made up prolly 90% of my damage and the autocannons couldn't hit for shit unless I closed under 2km. However I was at ~80 dps with the auto/arty setup and ~50 with railgun/arty but with the latter combat was alot quicker, I took alot less damage, and I killed ships faster.
Any recommendations for a ship setup to grind some ISK while I train skills up so I can nab a Covert Ops frigate?

Which is better for rifter pirating, high or lowsec
[QUOTE=Kommodore;33588962]weapons[/QUOTE]
Looks like I better upgrade my ship, this frigate is definitely not going to live with that.
[QUOTE=-nesto-;33589063]Which is better for rifter pirating, high or lowsec[/QUOTE]
Go into any asteroid belt find a miner and try to ransom him, it works best in high sec, if a box pops up saying it's a dangerous act just click yes, it just means they can shoot you back and miners have no guns :).
