EVE New Citizens Q&A

I guess I should give more details. I was flying a Punisher with Masers? I found the fit somewhere online, I forget where. Anyone have any fits that actually work that you could share?

First thing - to PVP you need a method of preventing the opponent escaping. The usual one is a Warp Scrambler module or a Warp Disruptor module. (Some situations require or allow different options such as Heavy Interdictor bubbles but they are advanced).

Secondly, you need an opponent and you should try to choose them yourself without them realising they have been chosen. In high security, you can shoot your corporation members (player made corps only, not NPC ones). Whilst this can be used for practice in cheap ships, it works better if you surprise someone in their expensive PVE ship that isn't capable of applying damage to your ship effectively at all.

If you pick the right target, you might be able to extract ransoms of hundreds of millions of ISK.

I would recommend a corp such as RvB or EvE Uni for learning PvP, it's a great, inexpensive way to get started and there's plenty of new players in both corps so you won't be alone. In FW it's a bit like throwing yourself in the deep end, especially when you're in the Caldari FW NPC corp which you are currently in.

Below are some fits for coercer, punisher and an executioner and my love (Griffin) that might help you.
Some people might not agree with some parts of the fits, but this is just an example of fits that can help in fleets, and you can change them to suit your needs as long as you know the purpose of the ship you are flying

* This fit does not do damage, it is for tackling targets on gate camps, with proper skills you can get an insta-lock with this.
* Also change the T2 stuff to the best named mods of meta4.
* Can reach up to 3.6km/s with MWD on.


[Punisher, Punisher]
Damage Control II

Small Diminishing Power System Drain I

Small Trimark Armor Pump I
Small Trimark Armor Pump I
Small Trimark Armor Pump I

* My personal favorite fit, gives you 7k EHP, later when you get good fitting skills you can replace the 200mm plate with a 400mm one and get 9K EHP.
* This is a brawler ship, means it needs to get close to targets to apply its damage.
* Can do about 120dps with IN MF crystals.
* Replace T2 stuff you cannot use with the best named modules of meta4.


[Griffin, Rainbow]
'Hypnos' Signal Distortion Amplifier I
Capacitor Power Relay II

* I had my best fun times with this fit when I started doing PVP in Amarr militia, it was awesome every time you go out in fleet and be the reason to win a fight, or save a fleet-mate ship from blow up when you spread your jams on the enemies... and because it is so cheap, I did not care when I lost it, I had like 10 replacements ready in my hangar for fast reshipping.
* This fit is to jam the 4 races ships.
* The cheapest fit for ECM with T2 strength, it's maximum value can to up to 2 million ISK only!.
* You need to be cap stable on this one (to maintain your support for your fleet through constant jamming as long as the fight goes, that if you haven't been poped already ) and BE AT RANGE at minimum 55km from your enemy (so you can be out of drone attack range).
* When you get the perfect skills for this fit, you will be cap stable with the MWD on, and you will get stronger jamming points and more successful jamming cycles, as well as longer range!

Thanks guys! I don't mind jumping right into thedeep end, so... what are some good fw corps? Is the search thing in game accurate?

Hiya,
Here are some resources:

Good luck, fight smart, fly safe!

Note that most people suggest looking for a group to fly with. I'd suggest also you get on voice comms with them before joining, have a chat and gauge whether or not they are supportive of newbies. Also in gang PVP voice comms are a must, being capable of hopping onto Teamspeak quickly is more important then SP. Don't let SP requirements fool you, most corps aren't that strict on SP levels if you are willing to skill towards their fleet doctrines.

I wish BC can bloody hell import my kills from EVE-Kill.

If you look at the 'Variations' tab on those modules you will see alternate modules that do the same thing.

For each one you can look up its 'meta level' under attributes. Meta 4 modules are easy to fit, (usually) affordable, and are not far behind tech 2 in performance. They are often a bit more expensive than the tech 2 version however.

The skills required to fit T2 modules, however, are almost always things you will want to train anyway.
