1) You consent to PvP when you click "undock". 2) Never fly something (or with something in the cargo) you can't afford to lose :) 3) If you lose stuff, it's almost always your fault. Really, only yours. 4) If you PvP long enough, you will lose your ship. It's only a matter of where and when. 5)There are no "solopwnmobiles" in EVE. Everything you can fly blows up if it's shot hard enough. 6) There is no such thing as "a fair fight" or "an unfair fight". There's only "a fight". 7) With enough skills and experience, ship size really doesn't matter all that much. 8) Always keep local open in low/null sec space. 9) More expensive stuff is not always better stuff. 10) EvE is Risk=Reward - the more you risk the greater the rewards
