PVP-BASIC is split into two sections:
*The first day will be a mixture of theory and practical, generally taught in highsec or lowsec.

The class portion lasts around 2 to 2.5 hours. The roam lasts ''at least'' 2 hours, quite often more, but you are free to leave the roam at any time.

Introduction

In order to learn how to fight back, the student of PVP needs to realize that Eve Online combat is incredibly rich and diverse. It requires not only character skill points but also a good amount of player skills. The difference between a ship loss and a ship kill is more often the player skills than the character skills.

The goal of PVP-BASIC is to provide you with the basic skills and confidence required to fly as part of a successful PVP gang, as well as being an introduction to combat in 0.0 space. The lessons taught in PVP-BASIC are fundamental to Eve combat and are a starting point for the study of tactics, strategy and dynamics of Eve PVP.
