I don't much like PvP either but in EVE it's something that comes with  
the territory.

That's why good corporations are such a huge key to success. If you  
are inexperienced in low sec combat the best idea is to get a good  
export from some buddies in your corp. I participated in quite a few  
in my former corp. Also make sure you take the usual precautions of  
having a dead space escape point, and keeping your eye on the LOCAL  
channel for potential hostiles.
