Warfare & Tactics

I just got removed from my corp because i lost a few ships. im in game seriouly about 3 month and i guess my wanting to learn PvP and get out there into combat didnt sit well with them.

Let me know if your interested in taking on a newer player who has some PvP training but not alot of experience yet. My kill loss standing is bad, but half the losses where before i understood the game.

Killboard stats are stupid. Give me a shout (even if you don't like my corp) or head over to the recruitment forums.

Hello-

If you're looking at just kills and losses, then yes KB stats are useless and only perverses the game and fools anyone into thinking they're good because of their stats.

If you dig deeper into a pilot's KB, you'll learn more about him and his capabilities. A closer examination can reveal if he's

• simply a blobber
• an aspiring solo pilot subject to mistakes
• a useless pilot incapable of understanding fittings
• a courageous wingman willing to go up against overwhelming odds
• someone who only prefers a certain type of space combat (nullsec, wh, hisec, etc...)

KB stats are helpful if framed within the proper context. I certainly wouldn't go so far as to make a statement of absolute by saying KBs are useless. By adopting to that mindset, you open up certain HR headaches during the retention and growth phase of that pilot...especially if he's new. And in the OP's case, he is certainly very new to PVP.

To OP- There's nothing wrong with wanting to learn PVP. Perhaps they were elitist jerks, as Super alluded to. Or perhaps they valued a more disciplined approach which you didn't provide. There's three sides to the story; yours, theirs, and the truth. Keeping that in mind will help you go far with finding a long term home and avoid any corp hopping on your resume :)

Hello



I wouldn't do that either. I check killboards all the time (for the reasons you set out).

What I ignore are killboard stats.

I would however make a statement that the OP's retention and growth depends more upon his attitude, his corp and his level of enjoyment than his killboard stats.

Yes, exactly, no one in RvB knows anything. That is what I said, precisely.

Honestly, if anyone watches the RVB Ganked videos the FCing is excrable and fleet discipline is nonexistent. In RvB, you learn about wringing your hands incessantly that the fleets aren't balanced, that someone may bring something that they shouldn't, etc etc. Plus most people just join for simple, on-tap PVP. But that isn't the be all and end all of PVP in EVE; it just caters to people who are too lazy or time constrained to work at it. Its popcorn pew pew.

Which is fine; nothing wrong with just joining up and undocking and pew pew pew pew.

The biggest problem with joining a large organisation is you don't learn from the experienced people because you are just one of hundreds of scrubs. This is why most TEST scrubs are utterly useless at PVP; we hired a couple of guys who've been in TEST for 3 years and they can't even d-scan and couldn't use a watchlist.

If you actually want to learn PVPing fast, you should join a smaller corporation where the experienced players have time to teach you. Then it's just up to you to actually learn something.
