Something else that's well worth doing in the meantime is just buying a few frigates (whatever your best racial combat frigate is), fitting them with cheap T1 fittings, going out to lowsec, and getting in a fight or three. Or thirty.
Get yourself a jump clone, update your med clone, etc. first, of course.
Ummm once upon a time I would have said go for it. Even a couple of months ago. Now I think it simply isn't worth the sec hit. Anyone like to have a guess at the number of T1 frigs being used as bait in places like Eifer/Amamake etc? If you actually recognise the pilot its possible to get 1v1s that are fun, if not always fair and in those cases then yes go for it. Otherwise a good proportion of those T1 frigs/destroyers (in minnie space anyway) are not the naive innocent they appear to be
You have an option fighting in low-sec - take the sec hit or let them shoot first. Neither is a viable solution really. Sec status going down the toilet leads to more restricted gameplay. Letting them shoot first = lose if you're anywhere near equal. It is very very easy to find willing opponents though and it'd be rather fun if they made the FW areas free-fire zones to avoid the sec hit Yeah I know its exploitable but wouldn't it be lovely just letting rip in Empire areas like that and taking no sec hit. The reality of course would be wall to wall camps slaughtering anyone who came in range but the FW areas are made for high-speed roaming gangs - Ombey's maps show them up beautifully.
We can dream eh?

Pesets does FW and may be along later so he might comment?
Well, i haven't been online a whole lot lately, but about a month ago i've been flying with Minmatar militia and it was actually quite good; i'll might actually re-enlist after Wolfpacks on Friday. I've only seen it lag badly once or twice, rest of the time it was actually pretty smooth even in 20 vs 20 fleet fights.
The major problem with militia is that you just have fleets of random people, which means it isn't terribly organized most of the time, and FCs don't necessarily know what they are doing. Also, sometimes the enemies just decide to hug the station. Minmatar militia is kinda at war with Heretic Nation though, so there are other options. The fights you get are mostly on gates, since militia people don't tend to hang around on the belts a whole lot.
Also, you're pretty much locked out of BOTH opposing empires' hisec (Caldari and Amarr in case of Minmatar militia) - you can move around if you're fast, but you can't stay in one place for long unless you have a pretty good tank. That's only while you are in militia though, unless you do too many FW missions/plexes and get -5 standing with the enemy faction. Note, however, that there is a 24 hour "cooldown" delay when you leave militia. Or at least when your corp leaves, not sure...
If I go out and practice some PvP in low sec as suggested, does that affect my security status and in turn my ability to train with/join you guys?
As long as your sec status is above -1.9, you should be good. Below that, faction police starts trying to kill you in hisec. You get about -0.2 sec hit for every player ship you destroy. Just make sure you don't aggress the pods. You get -1.6 sec hit if you aggress a pod and it dies later. That is, even if you don't shoot it, just scram it for ransom then let it go, and someone else kills it ten minutes later, you'll still get -1.6 sec hit which GMs won't do anything about (/me had to learn that the hard way :grr:)

You get about -0.2 sec hit for every player ship you destroy.
That sounds about right for players with a low positive sec status, but unless things have changed then the higher your sec status then the bigger the hit.
This is due to sec hit being calculated as a percentage so if you're +5 then your sec hit is calculated as the difference between your current status and -10 (-9.999999 ad infinitum really) times the percentage sec hit. I can't remember what the percentage hit is - IIRC it relates to system sec status - but assume for the sake of argument that its 5%, then you'd have :
(Current sec status - (-10) ) x percentage = sec hit;
eg
(5 - (-10) ) x 0.05 = 0.75
The next kill would cause a sec hit of :
(4.25 - (-10) ) x 0.05 = 0.7125
The next would be less again :
(3.5375 - (10) ) x 0.05 = 0.676875
and so on.
Coming back from bad sec status works much the same but in reverse - big improvements initially then it gets harder.
That's the way it used to work certainly and if it doesn't work that way now I'd appreciate someone correcting me....

PVP-BASIC is stunningly good fun. There's not too much information to absorb and there's so many of you that the chances of you getting popped is fairly low. Getting your name in the first 50 so you're on the course is probably the hardest part.....
