How do I find a NPC Pirate in Eve Online?

[wowmoo]

I've started playing EVE Online, and I seem to have moved around abit before going through tutorial.and while I was doing the first tutorial, it asked me to find a NPC pirate and attack.but which I couldn't find any.I'm in security 1.0 area and there's no pirate I see in the overview and even if I go to security 0.6 area, I see no NPC Pirate (red corss in overview) in overview window.Can somebody please tell me where and 'How' I can find one?Maybe the way I look for it is wrong and I just don't see it when there is one around.. maybe, maybe not.

If you are still flying the rookie ship, I suggest finding a pirate in a 0.8 or higher. Otherwise you won't survive.As far as finding one, your best bet is to warp to the asteriod belts because they spawn randomly to harrass miners. Just keep warping from belt to belt until you find some.

Look at the mission the tutorial gave you. There should be some green location text, right click it and "set Waypoint". There are also a bunch of deadspace (or 'training') markers in the tutorial system. There should be lots of NPC pirates around those.Also make sure your target viewer is set to show pirates, but you have to be in the same general space they are to get them to show up.
