what pvp faction to join?

[Haste]

CL

CR|

Rapier, Nyx respectively.

Alternatively, fly a Blossom as an independent or unofficial faction Golden Chrysanthemum.

If you're looking purely for (easy) pews, anyways, as these ships are currently leagues ahead of most of the competition.

As has been stated, though, joining an official faction is generally not something you should do if you're looking for PvP only. For that, there's (lulzily named) indies and Connecticut.

Buff Rapier.

Edit:
Time to actually try to be helpful.

Thanks for the advice though, I think I should have been more specific: I am looking for a faction (official or unofficial, makes no difference to me) that has talented/skilled/knowledgeable fleet commanders, that focus on fleet combat and in time will give me the option of piloting a capital ship myself, will teach me how to operate efficiently in fleets, and has a lot of enemies to shoot at. Heavy focus on capital ships, fleets and strategy.

I don't think there are any official factions out there that focus on using capital ships. Generally, they require a high rank that takes time and effort to achieve.

GRN| is a good option if you like large fights with the odd gunboat, cruiser or perhaps even Valor thrown in. Plenty of enemies, and an active list of members means there's a lot of shooting to be had.

BAF| apparently is a good option for caps as they have a semi-indie cap fleet (BAF|A-) that you can get into without ranking up first. That, and they're fond of fielding caps. According to certain people on Teamspeak, however, their fleet commanders are not the best.
