The Agony Empire pilots are always being pushed to come up with something new and they rarely disappoint. AGONY members are almost constantly tinkering with setups and tactics and debating those tactics until the cows come home. Often, on our Ventrilo server, we have 4 or 5 channels each talking about different tactics and setups. Debate can often be hot and heavy but all of the pilots are seeking the same result -- the perfect setup or tactic. Those that fight us are often flustered at what they see are oddball tactics out of the mainstream. To AGONY, this is a positive thing. We like to keep our opponents guessing and to have a large tool set for dealing with opponents. When the opponent adapts to one tactic, you switch to a tactic that is a counter to their counter. The research is all very complex and often involves the input of everyone in AGONY but it often has spectacular and great result. | The Agony Empire pilots are always being pushed to come up with something new and they rarely disappoint.

Agony Empire
This section is provided to the public so that aspiring members of AGONY know what they are getting into and the rest of the public will know what AGONY is about. AGONY is not like other organizations in the game. We are the crucible that either forges people into steel or burns them to a cinder. After you are in AGONY for a while, you will become a ruthless and efficient PvPer that can compete with the best in the game. The fact that AGONY has no friendly standings with anyone will mean that the AGONY pilot is always under pressure. However, that has it's upside as well. There is never a question about who you can shoot in 0.0 space. Aspiring members should read all of this information before applying to the corp.

Tactics
Without a doubt Eve Online is the most complex MMOG out there on the market. Newbies to Eve Online see the lack of a twitch gameplay and think that the game must be inferior. When you actually get into the combat you see that Eve combat is one of the most complex and skill demanding experiences in gaming. To be successful, you have to be able to communicate effectively, plan diligently, and combine your piloting skills with your character's skill points. This is no small task when you add to this the complexities of fitting a ship.
The Agony Empire pilots are always being pushed to come up with something new and they rarely disappoint. AGONY members are almost constantly tinkering with setups and tactics and debating those tactics until the cows come home. Often, on our Ventrilo server, we have 4 or 5 channels each talking about different tactics and setups. Debate can often be hot and heavy but all of the pilots are seeking the same result -- the perfect setup or tactic. Those that fight us are often flustered at what they see are oddball tactics out of the mainstream. To AGONY, this is a positive thing. We like to keep our opponents guessing and to have a large tool set for dealing with opponents. When the opponent adapts to one tactic, you switch to a tactic that is a counter to their counter. The research is all very complex and often involves the input of everyone in AGONY but it often has spectacular and great result.
In an effort to improve PvP in Eve and get more people involved, we started to give classes on PvP and look for more ways that smaller organizations can be effective against other organizations. The results have been impressive and now we are going to take it to the next level by showing off some of the tactics we have developed. Keep in mind that written tactics are all well and good but they don't mean anything unless you can get trained on them and you can use them in actual combat sessions. When you take the tactics and try to use them, things that might not have made sense will become obvious and you will learn the tactic quickly. Therefore don't think of these tactics as a replacement of gang strategy but rather an extension.
In this section we reference various PvP and related 0.0 tactics developed, refined or used by AGONY. However, keep in mind that not all of our tactics are public. Some of them we prefer to hold as classified and others we publish.
Ship Setups
Like the tactics section, there are many ship setups that have been either invented or refined by AGONY. We have documented why certain setups work and their weaknesses and provided a tactical analysis for each ship. The following link contains a few setups that have been made public by their creators, including setups for Agony Unleashed PVP classes. Most of the setups and tactical analyses, however, are viewable by Agony members only.
Money Making
In order to support your PvP habit, you will have to develop a steady source of income in Eve. Although complex mission strategies and money making are not a focus of AGONY, the members of agony have a lot to pass on regarding the various skills and tactics needed to make money both in 0.0 and in Empire space. AGONY members are expected to become self-sufficient and be able to finance their PvP adventures but we dont just leave them swinging in the wind. Instead we try to impart to them the knowledge that has been accumulated by agony members on everything from commodities trading to ratting and missioning. In this section we will pass on some of that information to you as well.
