My aim is to do faction warfare as a self-sustaining activity. That means paying for all my faction warfare activity through nothing but faction warfare.

My first step was to find a new home base. The criteria I had for this was:

• In high-sec, outside of the warzone
• As close to the warzone as possible
• A station or system that had manufacturing, reprocessing, research, and clone bay available.
• A high-sec path to a trade hub.

I chose Kuomi for this. It has all the facilities and a short path to Amarr for trading. I set this as my home base and then

Logistics

Picking a good staging system Bringing resources Fitting ships

Progression

Plexing

Fleets

• Fleet up! Whenever you can find a fleet to join, join. You will learn a lot and generally have more fun. There isn't always a fleet around though so I spend a lot of time solo.
• Start your own fleet. Invite another person and do some plexing and chat it up to make new friends.
• Read this amazing guide to solo frigate and destroyer faction warfare called the yearbook. It's updated yearly and this is the 2024 guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ziv0a6UHa8vuRd1TIpC-wsnbmHHp2EPs/view - The 2025 version is in beta as of this writing and available at https://www.patreon.com/posts/yearbook-2025-128920171
