Introduction

Although the primary goal of most combat operations is to destroy another target (be it a ship or structure), you have to be able to stay alive long enough to actually achieve that goal. With local tanking, there is only so much you can achieve. If you want more survivability, remote repair is the way to go. Remote repair has been a viable mechanic for a long time in EVE, but its use has seen a steady increase. Still, many people using the mechanic often do not grasp the underlying concepts thoroughly enough to maximize its use or disrupt others using it against you.

This seminar aims to give you a deep theoretical insight in how remote repair works and what its strengths and weaknesses are. It is aimed at people who are already accomplished PVPers, but who want to deepen their knowledge in this specific area. Although it will be most useful to pilots of ships that apply remote repair, it will also be very useful to other people flying in remote repair gangs in general and FC's in particular.

NOTE: You will notice that the term Remote Repair is used instead of Logistics. This is for reasons of ambiguity with the term 'logistics': in some contexts, logistics refers to remote repair, but in others, it refers to the transport of ships and material. The term Logistics might also lead people to incorrectly assume this theory only applies to the Logistics class of ships, while it is equally applicable to other RR ships such as carriers and RR battleships.

The core topics this class will be covering are:

  • Remote repair basics
  • The remote repair time line
  • Strengths and weaknesses
  • Fleet design, ships and fittings
  • Fleet organization
  • Tactics

Format

PVP-RemoteRepair is a one day seminar featuring:

  • A lecture about remote repair theory
  • A Q & A / discussion part about how this theory applies to real life PVP for the students

It is a new seminar and under heavy development. In time, there will hopefully be a practical part to this course, including a practice session and a 0.0 roam.

Prerequisites

Knowlegde

People that want to attend this seminar will need to have solid PVP knowledge. In PVP University terms, I would like people to have completed completed PVP-BASIC, PVP-WOLFPACKS and PVP-ADVANCED before attending this class.

People who have not completed these classes will be allowed if they have solid PVP experience. However the instructor is at liberty to ask people that substantially slow down or disrupt the seminar because they do not grasp the required fundamentals to leave without refund of seminar fees or a free pass into a next class. This is your one and only warning, and it will not be a topic for discussion.

Skills

As there is no practical session at this point, so there are no skill requirements. The material however will be of most use to people that are able to fly Logistics ships, RemoteRep battleships and / or Carriers.

Preparation

It will be assumed by the instructor that all of the following preparation has been done prior to the start of the course. The instructor will assume you have read all articles and wont rehash them completely. Furthermore, the instructor will not make the entire class wait if you are not present or don't have your headset working.

  1. Read the articles linked below and prepare questions you might have.
  2. Have a recent version of EFT installed.
  3. Come on Teamspeak before the seminar to verify that your microphone and headset are working.
  4. Be logged in EVE with the character you used to enroll.
