EVE General Discussion

Hey guys, just starting this game up again after about 2 years of never playing it, most likely going to be making a new character, as I've came back to this game before on a character with relatively good skills and tried to get a corp and just told i was a 'spy' or something.

ANYWAY.

I was wondering what ship/faction i should aim at skilling up if I am most interested in pvp such as alliance warfare and gangwarfare, I know ship balance changes with pretty much every expansion, and I don't want to focus on getting a ship that will do zero good for me.

Thanks in advance!

Tech 2 huh, wouldn't that take a good amount of time to fully skill out for? If I'm going to be fitting un-halfassedly. What ships would you recomend I use as I build up to that?

edit: read your post again, thanks for the additional info

Well, like I said, I'm probably not going to be playing this character, I've come back before on skilled up characters ( I also corp hopped a lot) and been accused of being a spy.

Probably going to be making a new character, it sounds like amarr is a really good faction to start on, really strong offensive ships it seems. Do they have any good frigates at their disposal? I geuss it really doesn't matter what frigate i take since they are so quick to skill up, but I'd like to train a singular gun type so I can minimize my time to become viable in large/gangwarfare pvp.

hmmmm hit me with some good gallente ships, I got on and saw this guy had 8mill sp dont know if I really want to restart now lol

oh he meant pvp

Interceptors. Useful in any fleet.

Dictors, interceptors, and logi are pretty universal.

Otherwise, check with your alliance for a recommended training path. Everyone has a different doctrine.

If you want to join progodlegend and his coalition that exists to destroy GSF, it might be worthwhile to consider a titan. Erebus, most likely.

You want gang warfare but are concerned about accusations of being a spy? Join RvB! We just assume that everyone is a spy and simply don't care. No need for a new character, come join the fun! I too hadn't played for a long time, and joined to experience PvP and just never left.

Even if it's not your final home, you'll have a good time and will refresh your skills.

edit: Prophecies will go well with RvB... but honestly, *any* ship will do. In general, at the moment, there is indeed a strong drone meta, which favors gallente and some amar ships. Interceptors have been really buffed and are now insanely fast, and it's very possible a new style of fighting will emerge from that - the change in warpspeed is going to shake things up. Ewar wise, at the moment damps are dominant. Capacitor warfare also has been boosted, esp for amar who now have a capacitor/drone battleship.

To answer your question, there isnt really a specific answer anymore. It used to be a nano hac or a BS but now there are so many doctrines that you need to be training for about 5/6 or more ships. The answer is, check with your alliance, they will have a set of doctrines that they fly in all fleets. You cant say train for a Battleship because different ships from different races are used a lot now. Then its also down to how you fit/use that ship for example Domi's are a big thing at the moment, but they are used for Sentry drone fleets, so then you need to train for sentry drones as well.

So the thing of the moment is

Sentry Domis, Sentry Ishtars, Apocs, Zealots, Naga or Nados, Tengus, Proteus, Lokis, Archons, logistics (Scimitar, Guardian), Lachesis, Huginn, Rokhs, Tengus are still used but not as much as they used to be.

Again check with your alliance and they should give you a training plan
