Ships & Modules

Hello

I would like to start a little bit of pvp but i dont know a good ship to start with im new to the game so i dont have many level 5 skills so please tell me stuff that i can use/fly.


Need help with:
Ships
Setups

first of all, do you have engineering and electronics to 5 ?
If not, do this before you will start PvP. Any rig slot you will need to fit with powergrid rig or cpu rig is wasted slot.
There are some exceptions but regarding situational fits for specific fleet doctrines.

Next, you asking a question wrong way. Lack of info about weaponry you can use, hulls you can use and tanking style
you have skilled for. Thus here is a generic rule - look at ship hull description. Any ship with damage bonuses (rof, raw damage, drone damage) is for pvp, moreover any ship with bonuses to warp jammers is for pvp.
Find these ships and then browse fits on battleclinic.
Learning pvp stick to t1 frigates. Cheap, effective and giving a lot of fun.

Easiest way to start pvp is to join FW militia corp. Find one using your native language - during combat people many times forgot about rule to use one, common foreign language and communication fails. Then group fails.

Cheers,

i want max damage and what type of weapons will get me max damage

also what ship can take some damage because im mainly going to be solo or 2-3 people with me.

Thanks for the help

When starting out in pvp as a new player, tech 1 frigates are the best way to go. They are the least skill intensive and cheapest option for pvp and with a few months of focused training and some decent tactics, you can be competitive against more experienced players.



Blasters are the weapon of choice for maximum damage and they can be used very effectively on two t1 frigs in particular that also have great tanks, the merlin and the incursus.

Both have bonuses to hybrib weapon damage and a tank bonus, the merlin's is to shield resistences and the incursus' is to armour rep amount. The merlin is most often fit with a passive tank, and is usually just about getting up close and firing away, whilst the incursus should be fit with an armour repairer which will require more management, so really it's up to how you like to fly.

2 Basics fit for these ships:

These particular mods may not fit with your skills, just download PYFA or EFT, both have threads in this sub forum, plug in your api and have a play about and see what you can get to work for you, but these should be a good starting point.

I wouldn't get too hung up on damage as the only criteria for a ship though. Range control is probably the most important factor in frigate fights and a ship with much lower damage output and little or no tank can easily kill a much higher damage and well tanked ship, if it can control range throughout the fight.

Good luck.

merlin and incursus are the ships for u, strong damage and tanking ability esp the merlins shield buffer

try the atron ! u trade defence for superior speed and dmg projection

t2 200mm (No t1 won't do) and nos
web/scram/ab/td
Dcu/repper

Burst rig and 2 ambit rigs.

Best slasher fit imo



breacher is good too.
