So... it's been over 6 months since we ended the EIE project. There was a lot of drama over the 2 months the project ran and we all learned a lot. Looking back its actually a pretty hilarious story of naivety, misplaced trust and greed.

ANYWAY, that's not what this is about. A month or so ago the subscriber website we were hosting the videos on went down and we just noticed recently. We had promised to keep the video content available to subscribers after the project closed and considering that its been a long time anyway we've decided to post all the videos on youtube to both subscribers and the general public. Some of this content was already released publicly but some of it will be new, unless you were a subscriber. There aren't any plans to make more of these but consider these a resource for small gang and solo pvp. Descriptions and links to the videos are below.

Introductory Trailer Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbFtAjvQxrg

Video 1 - Opportunity Kills (Gang):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-drwPewXrU
Video Content: Garmon explains how to get kills off of a gang that is not directly engageable. Skirmish links are used but the concepts do not require them.

Video 2 - Engaging a Camp (Small Gang):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNUqk3t3PGI
Video Content: Duncan explains some of the strategies behind successfully jumping into and engaging a larger camp. The combination of target fleet composition, P3E-Obe being a regional gate and skirmish links help make this engagement possible.

Video 3 - Initiation and Setting up Engagements (Solo):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3knciFd8xsY
Video Content: Willl talks about the importance of setting up an engagement and shows that how you decide to start an engagement can decide the outcome of a fight. Armor links are used.

Video 4 - Shield Rupture in 0.0 (Solo):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zkvDDCpDjo
Video Content: Garmon flies a solo unlinked and unscouted shield rupture through null sec. He talks about the ship and shows some of the things you can do with it.

Video 5 - Killing Tackle and On-Grid Separation (Solo):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlsvuSi7KlA
Video Content: Willl flies a solo unlinked/unscouted wolf and talks about how to separate targets to create engageable situations.

Video 6 - Scouting and Directional Scanning (Solo):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPiHuLMfHHc
Video Content: Duncan flies a vigil and talks about how to scout both for yourself and a gang, find targets and use the directional scanner. An article written by Duncan on scouting can be found here: http://pastebin.com/NGQyyVa7

Video 11 - Dual Thorax (Duo Gang):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYhIitwOcuw
Video Content: Garmon and Willl fly max tank/max gank fitted thoraxes unlinked/unscouted and use various techniques to manipulate targets into shooting the tanky thorax allowing the other thorax to deal damage. This allows them to take on engagements they couldn't with two standard fits.

Video 12 - Small Gang Communication (Small Gang):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZChXijPovk
Video Content: Duncan describes the importance of communication in a small gang and how it differs from the dynamic in large fleets. Skirmish links are used but the concepts do not require them.

Will watch the ones that are newly released to the public, thanks for making them available.

You gents are talented and EIE could have been a massive success had you done something more along the lines of publishing the content freely and making cash off advertisements or some such instead of a subscription cost. Was sad when you guys introduced the 'paywall' barrier to your content, and sad when you stopped producing it all together.

I guess what I'm trying to say was that it's great informative stuff, and is well worth the time it takes to watch it, however it's not quite worth actual cash.

I always enjoyed the content that you produced, I just had issues with your "business" (heavy sarcasm there) partner. Thank you for posting these videos. It's a shame to see the combination of ATX and EIE cause you guys to stop playing. I hope that you get back into it. GL, Genos.

The link for Video 15 was missing but has now been added. Videos 4 and 11 are probably the most relevant to the latest expansion changes.

So the people that payed for the premium content....have now payed for nothing but early access?

Dont get me wrong I quite liked the content, it was pretty good but being fair, the way it was marketed was a complete scam.

We also regularly scheduled roams with them and gave pvp related advice on whatever they wanted through a private in game channel and member's forums. In the end, everyone was refunded anyway unless they didn't want their money back.

Thanks for posting these. I recall the stink around the premium content, and don't really want to rehash it.

I am curious however, as I see that http://www.eveiseasy.com/ is still active and seems to be promoting content. Is this you guys? Is it legit?

I seem to recall an issue with the eveiseasy.com domain when all the crap went down.

Thanks.

It's not us. Abaddon owns the domain and is using the brand to promote his own stuff I guess, we don't have anything to do with it anymore. The only content from us is what's in this thread and on the youtube channel.

Easily one of, if not the best resource currently available for anyone who wants to take their flying to a level above the average "turn on weapons and press orbit on the target" skill level of EVE's population.

It's really fantastic to see all this extra content released. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from it.

Hi!

Thanks for the videos, the footage is very good and educational, but I have to point out though,

you really MUST work on your vocal presentation.

You sound very dull and monotonous to put it bluntly.

Just need to work on that and you'll be all good!

Best of luck on your future endeavours
