PVP-WOLFPACKS expands upon the content of [[:Category:PVP_University/BASIC|PVP-BASIC]]. The course assumes that the student has mastered the [[:Category:PVP_University/BASIC|PVP-BASIC]] content and then builds upon that content to introduce more advanced fitting and piloting skills. The target ship for the class will be the destroyer class ships. After completing this course you will be able to fly both a frigate and destroyer very well in PvP and be extremely effective with a few of your friends.

The [[:Category:Destroyers|destroyer]]  is one of the single most underrated ships in the game of Eve. Many people fly a destroyer the wrong way and immediately come to the conclusion that they are not worth the trouble to fly. The reality is that the destroyer  can be an extremely powerful and fearsome foe. A well run destroyer flown by a skilled pilot can kill a tech 2 interceptor one on one. A well run destroyer is extremely effective at gate camping and locking down space, able to get the signal resolution over 1800 with the proper fitting. In a destroyer pack, a fleet of 15 destroyers would strike fear into the heart of any battleship pilot with the brains to back up his firepower.

Wolfpacks covers and discusses using the following topics to gain fight advantages:
  
In this class you will learn the ins and outs of destroyers. You will learn how to fit them to be effective in a 1 vs. 1 situation as well as how to set up a destroyer for gate camping and wolf packing. You will learn how to maximize the strengths of destroyers, namely their firepower, and reduce the impact of their weaknesses of speed and fragility.
+
* Strategic fleet movement
 +
* Timers
 +
* Baiting
 +
* Modified/simple fly-bys
 +
* Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles!
  
In addition to working with destroyers, you will also learn how to use warp disruption bubbles and advanced navigation and tactics that employ the use of bookmarks.
+
Unlike PVP-BASIC, the PVP-WOLFPACKS class now takes place on only one day.  The class will start out with about 15 minutes of lecture, followed by anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of practical exercises and demonstrations which mostly take place in nullsec.  We then move straight into a full-on roam, looking for fights and creating explosions.  '''The instructors and fleet commander run the class and roam with the assumption that you have fully read all the required reading, so please do take the time to read them!'''
 +
 
 +
Because this class is now highly focused on practical exercises, it is vitally important that you have up to three ships fit and ready to fly ''before'' the class starts.  You must be in the classroom system when class starts, as we will undock within 15-20 minutes.  Be sure you set your medical clone to the classroom system, and be sure you are flying in a cheap or empty clone, as we WILL be engaging targets of opportunity and flying in hostile space.

The instructor will assume that you have '''studied''' the articles relevant to the class prior to attending class. You can find those relevant articles listed below in the index for your convenience. Please pay special attention to the naming conventions for bookmarks as these seem to trip up a lot of students. There is nothing wrong with having the bookmarks article open during class and referring to it when needed. If you merely skim or read the articles and do not study them in advance you could end up lost very fast. Remember that in PvP University classes, it is your responsibility to do the learning. We can only provide the information, you have to decide to learn it.

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.

Wolfpacks covers and discusses using the following topics to gain fight advantages:

  • Strategic fleet movement
  • Timers
  • Baiting
  • Modified/simple fly-bys
  • Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles!

Unlike PVP-BASIC, the PVP-WOLFPACKS class now takes place on only one day. The class will start out with about 15 minutes of lecture, followed by anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of practical exercises and demonstrations which mostly take place in nullsec. We then move straight into a full-on roam, looking for fights and creating explosions. The instructors and fleet commander run the class and roam with the assumption that you have fully read all the required reading, so please do take the time to read them!

Because this class is now highly focused on practical exercises, it is vitally important that you have up to three ships fit and ready to fly before the class starts. You must be in the classroom system when class starts, as we will undock within 15-20 minutes. Be sure you set your medical clone to the classroom system, and be sure you are flying in a cheap or empty clone, as we WILL be engaging targets of opportunity and flying in hostile space.
