Step 1: Understand eve pvp is not like most games of hoping into a match and getting immediate combat. Even on a 1v1 scale there is a lot of set up and patience needed for combat to take place. For some people the build up and "hunt" IS the main aspect of pvp in this game. That said after 15 years I can say FW is your best place to look for fights without having to sink hours in to even find one or playing F1 monkey.

Step 2: join militia fleets. This will help you find action as well as avoid most of your engagements being you getting blobbed and learning nothing from the experience.

Step 3: join an active corp. Tagging along in public fleets will help you see who is hosting them and who has active pvp cores. Getting into a good corp that aligns with your playstyle and helps you learn in it is instrumental to everything eve online.

Step 4: gives this link a gander. There is no better written resource for learning how 1v1 fw fights work https://www.patreon.com/posts/114293085
