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 but also combine piloting skills with skill points. This is no small task when you consider the complexities of fitting a ship. AGONY members are almost constantly tinkering with setups and tactics and debating those tactics until the cows come home. Often 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. The Agony Empire pilots are always being pushed to come up with something new and they rarely disappoint. 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. In addition, we have documented why certain setups work and their weaknesses. This section will contain a compendium of declassified ship setups. Each ship is represented here and that will link to the page for that ship. On the page you will see a number of links to setups for various tactics. Any setups stamped "Top Secret" will be ones that you cannot open unless you are in AGONY itself. This allows us to keep some setups to ourselves while still having a place to document the setups.
