Introduction

PVP-WOLFPACKS expands upon the content of PVP-BASIC. The course assumes that the student has mastered the PVP-BASIC content and then builds upon that content to introduce more advanced skills.

The main focus of the Wolfpacks class is on piloting, advanced game mechanics, and nullsec survival. The class will include both theory and practical demonstrations, including live fire exercises in nullsec space which will take place on day one. Students should show up for both days of the class expecting to be flying in a hostile environment.

1. Study the Agony Empire Rules of Engagement

3. Buy and fit at least 2 thrashers in accordance with the guidelines below.
4. Come on Teamspeak before the course to verify that your microphone and headset are working. You must be able to listen and speak on Teamspeak in order to participate.

Ships and Fittings

The Wolfpacks class takes place entirely in destroyers, making the Wolfpacks gang excellent for quick hit and run attacks.

A damage control is recommended, and other low/mid slots should be used for damage and electronic warfare respectively. As with PVP-BASIC, you should bring alternative ewar mods as we will balance the fleet before heading out.

It is highly recommended that at least one of your destroyers be fit to be disposable for use during the live-fire practical exercises on day one of the class.

Refer to the Wolfpacks Destroyer Fits pages for fitting suggestions: Wolfpack Destroyers
