L.S.

Most EVE players know there is a certain code of conduct amongst spacewarriors.
One versus one's should always be honoured.
The use of ECM during fights is considered unmanly tactics.
Real PVP'ers roam instead of sitting at a gatecamp for hours on end.
Man hold their ground, even if this means they are outnumbered by a 2:1 or even worse ratio.
You could say this is the way of spacebushido.
If a pilot for whatever reason fails to live up to rules like some I mentioned above.
He or she should start the act of seppuku immediately.
This is the only way to save your face in the cold harsh universe that is New Eden.

OUCH is very often accused of ignoring those terms.
But then again OUCH does not care if a neutral pilot is ECM'd to death.
OUCH does not mind to flee the field like chickens chased by the fox.
OUCH pilots are rather lazy and prefer their targets warping in.
The typical OUCH pilot has never heard of the Battle of Thermopylae.
And last but not least, the typical OUCH pilot just loves the colourfull terms and expressions
pop into local after the succesfull destruction of spaceships on their behalve.
I guess everyone plays his own EVE.

OUCH's behaviour can be summarized into the will to control the battlefield.
We like to fight on our terms.
After all our motto is; "Kill more, die less".

So there you have it, the main focus of OUCH is survival first and foremost.
That and awareness, know your limitations and theirs.

In short, don't fly stupid.

There are a lot of corps out there. Universities and academies abound. Most of them will tell you that they are going to teach you. Most of them are just holding corps for rookies so they can filter out the idiots.

Most of those self same corporations will tell you that they won't waste your time with stuffy lectures, they'll point you to some posts someplace and then tell you that you should learn by doing. Have you jump into cruisers with substandard skills and fly in a large gang where you're just a number, or put you in frigate tackle and tell you you're supposed to die in a ball of fire.

We think that they are doing it all wrong.

The road to survival comes much easier in a structured environment, where you get told how to do it, then shown how to do it, take time to practice what you've learned before you go out and prove it to yourself. OUCH has talented instructors who take time out from aggressively pursuing kills on the kill board to take the time to teach new players how to travel in null sec.

We're not telling you learning by doing is impossible. We're just saying that it's a lot easier when your teachers actually teach.

Happy Halloween from Open University of Celestial Hardship!

If you were planning on Trick or Treating in Curse, you probably should bring a lot of friends with you.

Or take our course.

Just saying.

OUCH still here and still teaching null sec survival/PVP.

Doesn't matter if you are a day old or veteran, we take all students.

OUCH does exactly what it claims. Join us and learn null sec survival and have fun doing it.


OUCH takes all players. There is no SP requirement. There is no interview. There is no queue to wait in you will get accepted usually within 24 hours. All you have to have is a willingness to learn.


Any questions join in game channel OUCH-UNI

Whether you are day 1 in game or a long time EVE player come learn how to survive in Null. Any questions join OUCH-UNI channel.

Don't let this be your Eve legacy. The statement quoted above summarizes my Eve experience prior to joining OUCH. I spent time in several nul sec corps but ultimately nul was just a dark, scary place. My nul experience wasn't good, so I spent most of my Eve playtime in hi-sec. Over time, I became increasingly bored, frustrated with hi-sec ganking/griefing, and I seriously considered just quitting Eve.

OUCH showed me that skills, while beneficial, aren't all that important. The real power comes from knowledge and experience. OUCH shares this knowledge and when this knowledge is put into practice, confidence and experience are gained. Students that make it into nul, and pvp with OUCH, post more kills than losses. Students who complete the program are not fresh meat, or an easy kill. They know how to survive when odds are not in their favor.

Join OUCH, let us show you how to survive in nul sec.

Well, my Winter Holiday has just begun and in between revising some training plans, teaching new students, writing a few blog posts, doing some diplomacy, ducking into FW plexes and wormholes looking for trouble, catching a couple of blue roams, doing a hotdrop or three, my plans are generally to Kill More and Die Less in Hard Mode until the New Year. :twisted:

How 'bout you? :D
