Is that when he screams in pain, or in pleasure?

To destroy a "ship", first you have to make sure you are within your desired "optimal range",
which depends on the size of your "turret". Then, when you're in a comfortable position,
you can start "penetrating" the "shields" and then the "armor",
effectively trying to "strip" the "ship" down to it's naked "hull".

Once you reach the naked "hull", things get more intense. You start "overheating" your "turret",
to "penetrate" the "hull" harder or faster, to make sure "she" "explodes" before you do.

Then, after the "explosion", you collect the "loot" she screamingly spread all over the place.

Remember that during "combat" it's important that the other ones "explodes" first. ;)

Step 1. Join RvB and blow up a few dozen times in cheap hulls.

Step 2. Read my magnificent thread (below).

Step 3. Come join us in lowsec.

Step 4. I'll let you know when I figure it out. Haven't got that far yet.

Edit: oh my, looks like I interrupted this thread at an awkward position!

For me, the best part about blowing "up" a "ship"
Is to "swallow" the "loot" into my "cargohold" at the end.

I know this is a troll thread, but in any case some newbro makes a forum search to find answers, the best one i can give is;

  • What is your favorite T1 frigate with which you have the most support skills?
  • Look up losses at a place like zkill for said ship to get an idea on how to fit it.
  • Figure out what kinda ship is optimal for you to engage.
  • Head to faction warfare lowsec and hunt for said ship
  • Learn game mechanics and create hilarious lossmails. (Don't be afraid to lose ships, see them as a tool if you will, to get the job done).
  • Repeat.

Guys, the OP wants to know how to commit an act of terrorism in the real world, not how to shoot stuff in Eve. Look at his killboard, he already knows all there is to know about exploding Eve-ships.

Back on topic, the CIA has been notified and will visit you tomorrow, OP. Have fun trying to make real ships explode in prison, *****. Pirate

OK, I am not very good at spaceship violence, but here is a short step-by-step guide on how to shoot stuff in space.

1. Undock.
Unfortunately, you cannot shoot baddies from the safety of a space station, but maybe CCP will look into this issue in the future.

2. Find enemy.
This can be difficult at times. The easiest way is to fly a noobship full of Plexes and constantly announce it in local.

3. Target the enemy.
You will have to press some keys for that; I am not entirely sure wich one, so the easiest way is to have auto-target in your game options set to the maximum number of targets. Also helps in disposing of those pesky logis in your gang.

4. When you have the enemy targeted, you should take a deep breath and ask yourself two important questions:
a. Have I fitted weapons on my ship?
b. Are those weapons loaded?
If the answer to either of these questions is "no", please ask for help in local, people will be glad to offer you advice and help.

5. Start shooting until the enemy is dead.
Once again, you will have to press some certain keys for that, but repeatedly beating with both fists on your keyboard usually works just as well.


Hope this helps.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

First, go shoot a rat and note in the damage notifications how much damage you do. Keep this in mind, it is important, but also note this is not a constant, just a rough guide line. Now go shoot someone. Note how much shield was removed from their graphic and work out an approximate percentage that was removed. Using your baseline percentage removed from the target and your rough estimate of actual damage done, work out on a sheet of scrap paper how many cycles it will take for you to kill your target and approximately how many hit points they have. Don't forget you have three layers to work through, and nevermind that each layer has different resists and hit points, we're just looking for a rough estimate here. Now mouse over your guns and note your cycle time, multiply your answer by your cycle time and with any luck, your target will be dead by the time you have your answer.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

Don't know about blowing up other peoples ships...but

For me the easiest way to blow my ship up is to activate my weapons on a target... seems to work every time.

The Engineer who looks like a Lord of the rings Orc extra, you know the one I mean right? based at Rens? assures me that the fault is not with the weapons but with the pilot. Meh, what does he know right?

You were doing it right. Never doubt yourself again.
