Hello there, I am Suitonia, I produce educational eve commentary videos discussing ships, tactics and methods aimed at improving solo/small gang PvP for the Eve is Easy channel, which hosts free public-ally view-able PvP Tutorials, guides and content . The Majority of my content is unlinked/unscouted with no or dirt cheap implants "true solo" Frigate PvP in Nullsec, although I do occasionally do Cruiser/Battlecruiser content.

Latest Video: Nullsec Executioner Roam with commentary
. A look at a full roam I completed

Slingshot Technique explained
I Explain the method known as the "Slingshot", which is a maneuver used to catch ships which are faster than you in brawling ships.

I talk about how your ship type influences the amount of fights you will get, and fly a Kestrel in 0.0.

Old Eve is Easy content produced by Garmon, Will Adama, and Duncan Tanner. Some of the content in these videos may be dated due to balance changes as these were produced prior to 2012. Most of them should still be useful and informative however.

Frigates? I think the Kestrel is a really good ship for a new player (If you're interested in Frigate PvP) Since there is very little micro-management involved. You don't have to worry about your capacitor, tracking, or micro managing any modules (like reps).

I wholeheartly agree the Kestrel is one of the most underestimated ships. Easy to fit, easy to fly, keep it passive and you will have no problem, the major disadvantage is the Kestrel's speed as it relies on scram kiting+AB+web in lowsec, a +5% Zor's Custom hyper link and/or speed rigs is a good investment. Add some Javelins to your cargo and you can get rid of most kiting ships.
In Nullsec, i don't know as almost 90% use MWD that hurts the Kestrel as it has no superior speed.

Nice vids Suitonia, very educational and fun to watch.

A few new videos added

Full Nullsec Roam with Executioner A look into how to finding fights in a Frigate, roaming tips, and a few cool fights/tricks.

Looking at the use of MWDs in Factional Warfare, which are often under respresented and are actually pretty strong combined with fixed warp-ins and when your opponents have limited mobility with Afterburners.

A short fight Analysis of a fight I could have won in my Kestrel but I messed up.
