Warfare & Tactics

I've been reading up on the forums and the advice I see is buy 50 frigates and get them blown up. I have no problem doing that. The question I have is, should I be fitting this frigates with expensive mods and just put the cheap stuff on it. Seems like if I don't then ill more than likely lose the fight, but if I do, I have a better chance although it is more expensive to lose .

Also is there any ships that are more noob friendly? I'm using the Tristan currently.

If you're drone specced, the Tristan is an excellent ship to try PvP in. Decently cheap as well. You'll also have good escape capabilities as well if you're kite fit.

Assuming you're focusing on Gallente ships, the atron, incursus, and maulus are other good choices for learning PvP in a frig. If you're looking at other factions too, than I'd recommend the slasher, thrasher, talwar, condor, kestrel, executioner, crucifier, and coercer as well.

The destroyers especially are great for getting kills with minimum SP, careful target selection, and good use of the d-scan. I particularly like sensor boosted arty thrashers for newbies. You can pick off folks like flies with even a t1 fit. All for under 5 mil isk or so, which is insanely cheap.

Remember I'm a noob what is SiSi

I'd fit them cheaply. Only start to fit your ships expensive when you start winning or losing by slim margins.

For myself, i choosed kiting destroyer for low SP PVP. Because in kiting frig you will not get enough DPS to kill target fast. And in brawling frig/dessie you cant fight 1vsGang and you need to pick your targets carefull.
Learn T2 guns and overheat ASAP.
Sorry for my English.

If you are complete new to PVP then it is adviced to a) join fleets and b) go for kiting (missiles or drones or long range guns). Rationale: by joining fleets you learn the environment from your FC and learn to identify threads and how to avoid them. By going for kiting you have better chances to survive which makes it easier for you to learn more for your ISK. Once you understood the PVP environment then you can go for the next stage and try it with solo brawling. You will still lose a lot of ships since brawling really suffers from "commitment to fight". For example, as a kiter you have good chances to run if you notice that your victim is not that solo as you expected and his blobs arrive. As brawler you usually can't run until you have killed him first.

The fit cheap thing is right but only to a point.

There are some things you absolutely need to be effective. Like generally you always want t2 guns (t2 missiles often aren't as important but yea, there are some things you gimp yourself to much by cheapfitting)

First, read this a few times, especially where it pertains to the ship hull you settle on. http://www.evealtruist.com/p/know-your-enemy.html

The section on the Tristan is 100% accurate, especially here:



So if your drone skills are not up to par (read T2 drones, Drone Interfacing IV minimum) I would suggest going with something less skill-intensive until your skills match the hull. Pick something from the Know Your Enemy section based on your current skillset and how the descriptions match your preferred style of fighting. Fly it cheap at first, no expensive rigs, meta 3-4, except the guns which should be T2 (and ammo which should be T2 or faction). Lose a few of these to a variety of enemies, to establish a baseline. You will lose plenty to dumb mistakes that fitting T2 would not have saved you from.

When you are ready to start stepping up your fits with T2, use this guide to determine when to use T2 and when to use meta 4 (or even meta 2-3). T2 isn't always the best choice.

Edit: Sisi is the Singularity test server, where all items cost 100 (?) ISK. You set up a client to connect to it the same way you connect to Tranquility. However, I suggest not bothering for frigate combat unless you're very very space poor. As you seem excited about investing 50 hulls I am assuming you can afford to play on the "real" server.

[There is a way to make every single ship in EVE uneffective if you exploit it weakness. Only tricky thing is to find out what the other fella is bringing on the table before the fight. For example. Blaster fitted ship has really anemic range so your best bet is to have a fit what allows you to dictate the range.

Keep doing what you do mate. After plenty of ship wrecks and some desperate gameplay hours you are getting a hold on it and FW is really good place to practice your skills. :)
