Agony PVP-U is closed indefinitely. We hope you enjoyed your time with us.

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.
