Mate join before then. We can never use enough newbies in the meat grinder merlins tackling shit. I'm Gal, take it we don't fly Gal ships though. It takes like less than half a day to be able to fly the Merlin. I can already fly the Vexor, but I can crosstrain. I'll continue the conversation in game whenever it is applicable.
The point isn't necessarily to fly ships you are capable of flying at the start, it is more about learning how the fleet operates, as well as getting the FC's to know you and to trust that you are capable of doing what they want you to do in a fight, and the easiest way to do that is in a tackle frigate for at least your first few roams.
There are other frigates that can do the job, but the merlin is basically the best there is at the moment. Second is, imo, the Slasher.

May need some altering.
Keep in mind militia is now somewhat relevant (when I made these/wrote that guide we weren't involved with them at all). CCP has changed the wordings of many of those appearance criteria and added a few new ones so they need updating.
Also, my overview settings are slightly flipped in that those with 'fleet' in the name do NOT show fleet members. Someone who can be bothered should really fix that.

Random questions, I was looking at the Hatchery and shield battery killboards and was wondering about a couple of things:
1) Why so efficient (wow 81% and recently and an even better K:D by the look of things)?
2) Why always low sec?
Are the two linked? Is this Jovainnon particularly good for ganking or is 0.0 is too blobby? Do you basically have to be a pirate to be in the TL EvE corp?
efficiency is not really correlated with competence at all. It correlates far better with risk aversion / blobbiness.
even worse, it doesn't measure what it seems to measure (in the sense that it inevitably provides an inflated sense of k/d ratio. The more different entities you have on a killmail, the higher this inflation becomes), so comparing across different entities is kind of worthless.

However, looking at efficiency in individual fights is a good way to show how much ass was kicked on a given battlefield.

Even that isn't a good way to know who "won" a fight. For one thing, the goals of each side fighting may have been different. For a lot of groups getting the most kills is the objective, so Isk efficiency is what they use to determine who "won". For a lot of Sov holding entities holding/taking the strategic objective is the goal, so even if they lose a ton of stuff its possible that they can "win" by their standards if they save their POS or w/e it is they are trying to do.
Beyond this there is the fact that certain ships are more cost effective than others. This means that a very good and even fight can take place where one side "loses" badly if you go by pure isk effeciency.

I was already aware of it tbh but thanks lol ^_^

Today I realised just how fucking godawful I am at this game.
|
I just realised I am at negative k/d and have killed less isk than I've lost on Gudrun. Today I have lost slicer, 2 omen's and a retribution. Killed a thrasher. gg
EDIT:Oh yeah also lost a pod
