EVE General Discussion

Get into a T1 frigate with T1 fittings and join RvB (make sure you keep plenty of spares).

why should I bother wasting my time on pvp when I can just go back to mining where I can actually make money and feeling like I'm doing something. In PvP I feel like nothing.



No I spend the night going round faction warfare systems trying to find a frigate to fight against and got instant killed in all cases. Then got gate camped and pod killed. You see why I'm not having fun

Here's an idea: check player histories before agreeing to duel. If someone is more than twice your age (assuming you are less than 6 months old), they will likely have a significant advantage over you, especially if they are trained in a specialized manner.

PvP in Eve is just as much about preparation and picking your battles as it is about the pew itself.

Join FW. Plex to earn iskies until you have better skills.

You're doing it wrong™. Faction warfare systems? What kind of player do you expect to meet there, and what kind of ship, fitting and skill levels do you think they're going to be packing?

Not really. I have killed many a T2 fitted frigate using a Merlin with T1 guns. It's all about knowing which ships you can take down, and what you need to be able to do in order to make this happen.

Also, the current FotM involves light missile kiting frigates, and most of those that I have killed were using meta launchers, just because T2 launchers can be a pain to fit on small ships. Basically, if someone doesn't catch you before you get out of web/scram range, they're screwed, assuming they aren't faster than you.

EDIT: I just checked your most recent loss Feel free to send me a mail if you want an idea of what you're doing wrong. I won't call you out here, but your fit is responsible for your demise, also what you tried to take on. That ship is a severe pain in the ass, extremely hard to counter.

It may have changed but I seem to remember when FW was first introduced that it was not aimed at new players.

In my first month of playing EVE, I joined a high sec corp for training newbies. I killed a Vagabond, a Dominix and Navy Dominix amounting to a total of 700m isk in ships killed. I was so chuffed because I thought that was so much money (I was still flying T1 destroyers at the time) . I killed all those ships in high sec because the corp I joined was wardecced and that corp taught me a very important lesson in psychological warfare (Double Tap).

I can't remember what this thread was about.

So you fly a tiny ship into a warzone without working with others are you're surprised you died? Sounds like it's working the right way.

i have no T2 weapons or ships trained.
i am 2013 player

admitedly none of this is solo 1v1 pvp but EvE is a MMO. You are supposed to play with friends.
Also i suck at all aspects of PVP. i am trying to learn how to fit, i am trying to learn different ships capabilites and how to counter them, i am trying to learn manual piloting. Making friends with people that are good at these things and learning from what they say and from watching what they do is awesome.
Last night i even timed some tackling runs well enough that i tackled something instead of my normal too soon they blapped me or too late they are gone.
I think my point is this. Enjoying PVP as a low SP char is down to you not the game design. Winning at PvP is at least as much about player skills as it is about SP. If you are determined to play solo then u will lose a lot of ships before you start killing stuff
http://flight-of-dragons.blogspot.co.uk/ this blog will show you the mindset and learning curve needed. It is one of many such blogs read it from the beginning.
TL/DR . when you lose fights you can either learn and adapt or rush whining to the forums.
