I don't think PvP lasts long enough, it seems like you're fitting a ship and looking for a fight about 99% of the time, and the 1 percent of the time you find a fight its over in seconds. In star fleet command, ships could fight each other for 5 minutes to an hour easily.

If anyone has played starfleet command or starfleet battles you know the type of pvp I am talking about, in eve you barely get to enjoy the battle, as soon as you are primaried its over, and you can't stick around to watch either. I would like a spectator mode to watch fights from the station.

I've never been in a fleet fight thats lasted more than 4-5 minutes to be honest, even when I was in goonfleet fights didn't last very long, we cynoed in caps to kill a titan once and it took less than 10 minutes. I am the dominix tackling him.

titan kill

My fights usually last 2 minutes to 30 minutes. You must not be doing it right. Try getting into wormholes! Always something to shoot!

Don't worry, your fights will last longer as you get more experience.

Its not uncommon for your guns to go off prematurely while still messing around in highsec your first time.

Eventually, youll be able to control yourself enough to get to lowsec , and even null (if your partner is interested) before your missiles leave the launchers.

One day, you get to play around in the Wormhole..and youll be all..WOW! THATS AWESOME! Hell, you may even want to smoke afterwards.



Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I've watched hundreds of videos, most fights last 2 minutes.

As with many other encounters you might find that the time increases with experience.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

I've yet to experience time dilation, I am mainly speaking small scale pvp.

My problems with pvp come from a deep seeded hatred for not being able to rock the crack

PVP is like SE* X You spend all your time looking for it and preparing for when it could/would happen and then it only lasts a second or two. Is that what your saying? P
