For some crazy reason I decided to try my hand at making some EVE videos. Each video will have lots of small scale solo fights and include whatever commentary as to what I think is happening.

Enjoy.

Kill All the Things - Episode 1 - Faction warfare PVP with a Tristan


Kill All the Things - Episode 2 - She only loves me when she drinks - Faction warfare PVP with a Slicer

Kill All the Things - Episode 3 - Locked in here with ME! - Faction warfare PVP with a dual-web Firetail

New-> Kill All The Things 4 - I Stand There and Let His Fear Take Over - More FW fun, this time killing T2 and faction frigates with a breacher...

It was decent.

I must say though that changing your speed to AB speed is pretty stupid unless you know how they are fit. You should look at their guns/launchers first to determine how they're fit and then do it. Those rocket condors would be more willing to engage you if you MWD'd straight at them as it means they have more range control in the fight whereas changing your speed to AB-like speeds would only work if they were LML fit.

I fully understand your logic. What you have to understand however is the specific environment of faction warfare. I feel that my tristan can kill an AB fit rocket condor no problem. However a MWD fit long point condor, with links, is a real threat. Unfortunately links are very common in faction warfare so I have to be particularly careful of this threat. By hiding the MWD, if it turns out he tries to kite me, and thanks to links he has sufficient speed/point range to do so, I have to force him to make a mistake. By pretending to have an afterburner, he is much more likely to be less careful and allow me to use a sudden unexpected burst of speed to either escape, or land a scram on him. Looking at his weapons does not help since a rocket fit condor could very well just be a tackler for a gang. He doesn't need to do any dps to hold me.

That's exactly my point. If a condor has rockets there is no point in doing any of the speed changing stuff and you might as well just go right in. If he's LML he would feel way more comfortable engaging an AB fit tristan rather than MWD in which case the throttling is useful.

In any case, when you saw the condor landing 20km away from you, you took a huge and unnecessary risk by setting your speed down as if he was kitey fit he could pull range and it could cost you the fight. If he was 100km away and you set your speed to AB that would be perfect, but at 20km it's do or die. You even said it yourself that whether it's an AB rocket condor or LML MWD condor once you have a scram on it he's dead.

New episode added...

Kill All the Things - Episode 2 - She only loves me when she drinks - Faction warfare PVP with a Slicer

This video is similar to the first in that it is not some massive uber pwnage, but rather just typical solo PVP. In it I am learning how to fly a slicer. My first two fights are a bit fail as I work the kinks out, but by the end I think I have the ship down.

I hope you all enjoy...
