joining now a clan is maybe a little foolish... i play a lot on mp-servers, and i joined still 1 clan... i like to fly on my own... nobody to look at, wometimes fly in groupes with other
freelancers and sometimes joining a clan for a few minits... i'm now a clanmember off a raider-group, and i fly mostly alone, i like that the best.... sometimes help others out...
play first sp and finish the storyline, then start on a server (some suggested already to start by a non-pvp server, but i would say, try inmediat a pvp server so u know how good u r...)
look for a fighter what u like, i fly now mostly in a dagger, but i know how to take down the heaviest fighters fast that way... u learn how to use agility to get as less hitted by enemy fire... do extreme missions, like diong 240k missions in a defender... do pvp in a lower fighter then ur opponent is, eagle vs. drake...
u will learn that way, try to beat a extreme agile fighter with a titan... try to use missiles and mines (i'm not good in mines, but my missiles r without lag and against a drake about 80% hit, against hammerheads (hunters vhf) my hitpecentage is almost 100%, but still... mines... i use them sometimes only in groups off enemies, but then is my hitpercentage with mines very low... i know how to use them against stationairy objects only)
u will know what fighter is the best for u when u try to beat eagles and drakes in pvp, eagle for the shielded and drakes for their agility...
If u c some1 in a dagger make fireballs from hunters it can be me
