Hi, I believe you should start by posting this in the "Launchpad" section of the forums, which is devoted to helping new players. There are a lot of new player's guides and information located there too, and I encourage you to take a look at the posts there (especially Nightmare's guides). I also recently started a blog for new players (hummingbird.today.com) which you are welcome to look at too. Good luck!

start with a falcon ship and steal cash from npc's and escorts while trading, taxing and exploring. when you get enough cash create a corp and buy a corporate flagship with some holds. then go back to the trade routes you found while exploring and finish maxing your holds and then get some biodome kits and plant them in a nice system that you also found while exploring.
this is generally a good way to start a rebang. for more detailed information check out these threads

the vulture can shoot missiles through the asteriod belts, you can hide behind the asteriods and shoot npc's, just watch out if they have nukes or negs because they will also go through the asteriods. its a very easy way to rack up npc kills

my experience is they do get through but like milo said, don't make it very far cause it takes them a long time to punch through.
They make it plenty far enough to hit my flagship tractoring them to the belt tho XD

yeah i probablly should have mentioned it, they do go through slow, but ususally the npc will be close enough to get hit, some of them even try to keep "ramming" thru the asteriods.

Honestly, most of the time, I could easily reach top 10 just hunting down npcs in a pod.
But that's just me.

What Knives said is absolutely true. Many bangs you can get a silver just by visiting ports and killing npcs and 0 followers.
I would like to see medals only go to top 5 and only one silver awarded
At least in the bangs where only 5 people have more than 2k followers lol

Learn how to build. Ask players with a lot of followers for tips.
