These frigates will be fitted specifically | These frigates will be fitted specifically to give you a fighting chance of being competitive in solo and small gang PvP. Having said that, don’t worry about getting them blown up. They’re free. The point is to let you get started in PvP and to use these ships to gain experience you can use to keep your own ships alive longer. | ||

Yes. The aim here is just to help anyone who wants to | Yes. The aim here is just to help anyone who wants to PvP but is struggling to fund this. Doesn’t matter if you’ve already started down the PvP path yourself. | ||

I mean, I’m not setting any real restrictions here, if you ask for it, I’ll give it to you, but use your discretion. If you take a pack that you can easily afford yourself, you’re just taking it away from a newbie who needs it more. Don’t be that guy. | I mean, I’m not setting any real restrictions here, if you ask for it, I’ll give it to you, but use your discretion.

3. Can I have the ships contracted to Stacmon instead? | 3. Can I have the ships contracted to Stacmon/Slays instead? | ||
No. When I pitched this idea to management this was one thing they were clear on | No. When I pitched this idea to management this was one thing they were clear on. LSC is about learning to live in Low Sec. Basing your ships from Stacmon is not really in the spirit of this. | ||
4. I’m an Omega – can I mix and match the racial frigates? | 4. I’m an Omega – can I mix and match the racial frigates? | ||
No. This is more for me and making my logistics planning a bit easier. Also, this | No. This is more for me and making my logistics planning a bit easier. Also, consider this a chance to learn to fly one ship really well rather than constantly changing ship like most of us do | ||

I’m actually a fairly new LSC member myself, so I’m no Elite PvPer but I’ve been really enjoying my time here and I appreciate how much more enjoyable it is now I have a heavy stash of ISK sitting behind me to fund my frequent losses. I’m sharing the wealth. | |||

Join LSC Chat/Mumble, and ask around. There are a lot of very experienced (not me) and very friendly (possibly me depending on the time of day) pilots out there who are happy to help out, or group up with you to show you around | Join LSC Chat/Mumble, and ask around.

Caldari – Brawling Kestrel (Shield Tank, Rockets) – Scram & Web then orbit at 500. You can shoot out to 9k with rockets | Caldari – Brawling Kestrel (Shield Tank, Rockets) – Scram & Web then orbit at 500. You can shoot out to 9k with rockets in theory, but the Rage rockets will struggle to apply damage to a fast moving kiting target. You’ll do better up close with rage rockets, and PvP is all about learning to control range. | ||
Gallente – Brawling Tristan (Armor Tank, Drones and Hybrid | Gallente – Brawling Tristan (Armor Tank, Drones and Hybrid Blasters) - Scram & Web then orbit at 500. Your drones can hit effectively at range if necessary, but you’ll lose the additional DPS from your blasters. | ||
Amarr – Brawling Tormentor (Armor Tank, Pulse Lasers and Drones) - Scram & Web then orbit at 500 | Amarr – Brawling Tormentor (Armor Tank, Pulse Lasers and Drones) - Scram & Web then orbit at 500. Your capacitor will be limited with low skills, so be selective with using your afterburner and web once you’re in close. Omega clones can switch to Scorch ammo to engage at scram range if necessary, however the tracking penalty will hurt your overall DPS. | ||
Minmatar – Scram-Kite Breacher (Dual-Tank, Rockets and Drones) – You’ll want to orbit at around | Minmatar – Scram-Kite Breacher (Dual-Tank, Rockets and Drones) – You’ll want to orbit at around 7-9k (edge of scram range) and make sure brawlers like the ones above don’t close you down. You can’t run the shield booster and armor rep at the same time, so be selective and only switch on the armor rep once you really need it. | ||
