EVE General Discussion

Right on top of Evemon shows "Plans" click it and fill out a skill plan. From there you can figure out remap points and more. And do pay attention to the core skills, because that will allow you to fit better ships...and survive an onslaught (as there's no shortcuts to leveling skills). Pure combat skill leveling = just die already.

Best way to train is by doing missions, as you can test which fit goes against which faction (by the time you have Battleships V, you'll know all the fits...and have the skills to fit everything). PvE pushes you differently than PvP (like how skills really mean a lot), where PvP it pushes "hands on" training. You'll need both to be a good fighter in game.

wow i guess that dude should have tried null... but that is a good point too: eve is full of terrible pvpers. you just need to find someone relatively worse than yourself )))

where?

I see no offer are ship offers in this game done by cyptic codewords that a new player can't understand?

Actually they are. 2% more damage for every level of the specialization skill. That's 10% more damage at lvl 5.

Paul Otichoda is a troll. Stop posting in his threads.

Ok. these are actually really good lessons you are learning!

Every low-sec veteran knows that Tama is a system that is heavily camped. You know this now, but dont think that all of low sec is like this, it isnt, usually these gate camps are dotted around a few systems and the edge of HS, Ami, Old Man Star, Heydillies are examples of systems that are camped often and heavily.

Always fit a frigate with a Nanofiber II for a quicker align time.

If you jump through a gate into a camp and think that you will not be able to warp before you are targeted and tackled burn back to the gate. Any frigate fitted with a nanofiber has a good chance of making it back. To clarify you click approach to the gate you just came through and instantly hit your MWD. By the time even the fastest of locking ships has targeted you the likelihood will be that you are in jump range and can jump back. Of course there will be the odd time you die, but learning how to move through low sec in a frigate is a very important part of the learning curve of EVE.

If you haven't already got the skill Evasive Manouvering @ 5 you should spend a week to train it up. Its essential and will help you get past these camps. Another thing you can do is fit some warp core stabilzers in your low slots and then switch them out when you reach you destination.

Also if the cloak/MWD trick didnt work, dont think it doesn't work, try it again until it does. You dont have to be in lowsec to practice this either, spend a little time doing it in HS until you can do it smoothly, The aim is to be aligned and at a good speed by the time you uncloak and then you will enter warp instantly giving people no time to target and tackle you.

Align > Cloak > MWD > Wait until the cycle of the MWD is very nearly finished > Uncloak > Hit warp

The key is timing and its a very good thing to be able to do.

Also the guy who offered to buy you 10 T1 frigates is a example of the sort of player that makes EVE awesome. For you taking him up on that offer will not only get you some free ships but also he will help you analyze what went wrong and if the loss could have been avoided +1 to that guy. I would defo get in touch.

Anazlye what happened when you died down to the last detail this is how you get better at PVP in EVE. Sometimes its not your fault and theres nothing you could have done, but a lot of the time, there is a lesson to be learned, even if that lesson is avoiding Tama!
