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 lost encounter and a won encounter is more often the player skills than the character skills.

The lessons taught in PVP-BASIC are fundamental to Eve combat and make a starting platform for the study of tactics, strategy and dynamics of Eve PVP. These skills are applicable to all kinds of Eve combat, regardless of whether you're defending your mining fleet from Pirate attacks, or stalking lawless space in search of targets of your own.


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.

This class is aimed at players who are new to PVP, or with limited PVP experience.

The core topics this class will be covering are:

  1. Ship Fitting and Electronic Warfare
  2. Safespots and Basic Fleet Movement
  3. Scanning and Recon
  4. Basic PVP Mechanics

Format

PVP-BASIC is usually run over 2 days:

  • The first day will be a mixture of theory and practical, generally taught in highsec or lowsec.
  • On the second day, we will be head into 0.0 and put those skills to practice in a hostile situation.

Each day is likely to last around 4 hours, however students are welcome to stay longer.
