Warfare & Tactics

sometimes you get 4 to 1 sometimes 1 to 4 depends on wich ship you choose to fly and what you fight, stop caring that much about KB, the more you fight the better you get ... o7

There is plenty reason. With a bit of commons sense you can see that your way of flying is self-defeating.

That is because if everyone flies like you, then no one will lose ships.

In PvP, risk-averse like yourself need the risk-takers to get fights, but risk-takes do not need you.

All the best frig pilots die constantly

You see three frigates together in a plex.. and you think.. If they are on the ball they will really violate me...







But they might be terrible.....

Agreed. Always bet on stupid, as they say.

My previous comment was obviously bit of an exacerbation. In a sense, if you do things right you should almost never die. However, it's the taking risks part which makes things interesting and nets you all the cool kilmails and gets the adrenaline rushing through your veins.

This pretty much sums up my attitude when deciding if im going to go after a fight.

The thing that makes Eve really different is that about 80% of the skill comes into play before the fight.

A good player can sometimes spend 10-20 minutes trying to set his opponents up in a way that makes an unfavorable fight winnable.

I know this may sound weird but its just the truth. In most cases what happens before the fight is more important then what happens during.

I love solo fights, when I'm not helping my corp members in operations, I go to verge vendor and chill out looking for solo fights, In general I can get K/D 2.5:1 kill ratio. All depends on knowledge about what your ship can do and what you can engage, select your fights and you can get a decent K/D ratio.

Take some time reading all the information about ships and modules, know them by heart, know how to apply them and etc.

Maybe the most important is: Be agressive and smart, you have to face the odds, sometimes you can get some impressive kills if you decide to engage instead of running away ( just dont be stupid :P ). The best pilot is not the one with most kills in the kill board, the best one, is the one who dare to do things and achieve victories in odd situations. Thats for sure will increase your loss ratio, but when you win in a situation like that the feeling is amazing.

o7 Fly Dangerously...

Well, certain corp tickers kinda give it away.

TMFED for example. That's a corp ticker that pretty much screams "i never fly without boosts".

I mainly base it on a much tougher that normal tank on an opponent. Thats really the only time ive been able to tell.

When a hookbill it at 10km not orbiting me, and im hitting him with 280 arty getting direct hits because transversal is 0, and his shields barely move each volley i know. He admitted in local he was boosted after i called bullshit.


Edit to this - he was not orbiting me because he was webbed by me and keeping me in place with dual webs and must have hit keep at range, because his ship just stayed in place with my thrasher.

Do what everyone else does - avoid ships and fights you cannot 100% win against. If you want, hit me up in game for a Vigil fit that will eat certain ships for breakfast, guaranteed (to a certain fumble-fingered level of pilot ability).
