Ok, per Kwarks generosity i have decided to favor all our brand new people with a short guide to Factional Warfare - aka the new persons ISK fountain. I'm going to rush through this guide, so no complaining.

To start with, your going to want to start this on a new character, as once you get into the serious portion of Factional warfare, you will no longer be able to enter into caldari space without getting blown up.

Ok, next, your going to spend your first hours of the game mostly sitting in your starter station, which is in fact known as a school. The nice thing about school stations is that they sell every basic skill book that you will need at the cheapest price you can find them. You are going to be aiming for a specific ship called a merlin, that will allow you to navigate through the beginner portions of Factional Warfare with the ability to escape from nearly any unfortunate situation you might find yourself landing in.

Now, i will be providing you with the fit for this merlin that i have found will allow you to manage what is called Minor Complexes, in the cheapest possible ship that will actually accomplish the task (Something that brand new players should appreciate considering you start the game with absolutely nothing).

Here is the fitting for this particular ship that you will come to know and love.

[Merlin, Cheap Minor FW]

Mark I Generator Refitting: Capacitor Power Relay
'Halcyon' Core Equalizer I

Small Shield Booster II
Experimental 1MN Afterburner I
Medium Azeotropic Ward Salubrity I
Limited Kinetic Deflection Field I

Congratulations, you've made it this far. If you're too stupid to figure out how to buy skill books or figure out the prerequisites for these particular items, I'm sorry, I'm not helping you with factional warfare any longer, please stop reading this guide.

Now, to sign up for the proud Minmatar Factional Militia. Head to a system called Abudban (No, i'm not going to tell you how to find a system). Once in system, dock up in the Tribal liberation force station. Hit the militia tab once inside station and click the enlist button. Good job, you are now a part of Factional Warfare.

Aha! You are at last in your first factional warfare ship. A true congratulations at last, you've now managed to raise yourself one level above brain dead. Now, this is the part where you are going to actually be forced to exercise your brain cells and figure out something for yourself. Open up your star map. In the star map view you should now see a menu called world map contol panel. In this panel i want you to click the star map tab and scroll down until you see the sovereignty drop down menu. Click on this and then click on, wonder of wonders, Factional Warfare. You will now see a tab for caldari. Click this tab and Vuala, you will now see many large blue dots appear on your star map. These blue dots indicate caldari controlled factional warfare systems. It is now up to you to determine where you would like to make your millions.

Any of these systems will have something called Caldari Minor Complex within them. In order to find these complexes, you will need to open up your onboard ship scanner. Under the scanner's first tab, you will see system scanner. Make sure you are on this tab. Hit the analyze button when you are in a caldari FW system, and Bam, you will see any available plexes in the system.

You are now able to right click the Minor Complex that you have found and warp to it. This will take you to an acceleration gate that will warp you inside the complex. Enter the complex, Turn on your active modules, and set your orbit to 7500 around the complex. There will be a few waves of NPC ships that will be spawning in the complex. If you've done things correctly, once you are orbiting the complex with all your modules activated, the ships will not be able to do enough damage to bother you at any point in time.

Here comes the boring part of earning ISK through factional warfare. Wait 10 minutes while you watch your ship fly in circles around the "button" until you get a notification saying you've earned 11,000 loyalty points for your factional warfare efforts.

Move to the next nearby caldari controlled FW system and repeat this until your eyes begin to bleed. Around this eye bleeding time you should have earned yourself a nice sum of LP (Loyalty Points). If by the point you are reading this guide we have already created a TL FW corp, you will then be able to ask someone in corp to aid you in your first LP conversion. What will happen is he will be giving you a hundred or so million isk, and will tell you to open up the LP store back at the station where you signed up for Factional Warfare (Abudban). Now you will buy whatever item this generous person tells you to buy and once you finish he will give you a certain ammount of money in exchange for these items. Congratulations. You've just made ISK. Now that you finally have some of your own money you can begin to figure out the myriad of items in the LP store that you might want to buy with your LP and then sell for ISK of your own.

Go back to the FW systems, earn more LP, and have fun doing FW in eve.

Every time i read you calling someone dumb for something like not being able to find a system, i thought of a certain ccc rigged rifter. :p

In a nano fleet, you have your MWD and warp button to escape while we have a 1 minute docking / jumping timer to escape. What's more dangerous?

I have almost done the mistake of aggroing a bait ship at Jita 4-4 (yeah i luckily didn't aggro it) sometimes. One time i was sitting in my Vindicator there and only had the bait locked.

10 seconds later they warped in 10-12 Battleships right on top of my ass. It's things like this that you never know about in crowded trade hubs in empire.

Thus, empire PVP is way more risky when it's done in Jita or other trade hubs. There is a reason why Jita is the most dangerous system in EVE.
