mate i lost my frigate tonight when some roockie decided it was good idea attacking connie's outside MT, my frigate said boom against at least 5 player and 3 of them was TDA(pretty sure TDA had a laugh), i had a huge PVP chance. or like yesterday when TDA young was camping MT with Santisima and joined several times against me in my suprise while trying to cap a Frigate. i guess that it's a challenge... 1 broadside from Santisima i'm pretty sure my suprise will sink like a stone.
since your looking on join date, i did try the combat trials and reached navy brig before i stopped. then i started play open world somewhere in early november this year. im maybe not a noob but i hell aint got any ship that could put upp a decent fight with other players.
