Warfare & Tactics

Hey guys

Title says it all.

My name is Grinz and im a nullbear with an aversion to pvp. I dont want to be scared anymore. That and i have alot of isk i dont know what to do with so why not kill 2 birds with one stone by sploding some isk and getting the balls to take part in the other half of eve.

So Im looking for advice on where to start and how to go about it. Ill be bringing out an alt with 60m+sp. I see everyone talking about frigate combat but it seems a little too cheap for me catapulting t1 frigates around the field.

If you had a spare few bill to concentrate on getting your pvp on as a newbie in FW where do i start?

You can fly whatever you want, really, it's just that t1 frigs will get you the most fights if you go around solo. You can also have great fun with cruisers, but i wouldn't go further up in size.

By the way, if you're a pvp newbie, flying anything other than t1 non faction frigs WILL result in embarassing loss mails, so i'd stick to that for a bit untill you get the hang of things. SP and ISK don't matter much when you **** up horribly.


After that, i'd still advise frigs. You can put shiny mods and roll about in uber fits if you feel like 10 M a pop won't be fun for you, it's quite easy to get to the 300M mark with pirate frigs and some faction mods (think mwd and point, for example), and they're also very effective and fun to fly. You probably will have to go against gangs with them tho.



if you plan to join militia fleet, just bring what the FC asks for, really xD

Will teach you how2frigate for ISK.
That way you fly T1 frigates AND pay shittons of ISK.

Win-Win

You can always shoot pies and still have an objective.

Maybe you should finish reading, get your head out of your ••• and then open your mouth.

As in he can do FW and still have plenty of targets with pirates and neutrals to shoot, while having a broader goal in mind with the warzone.

True

but the fear is what makes it all fun :) and FWIW people in militia routinely drop hundreds of millions of ISK on implants and faction mods and drugs and links for T1 frigs so it's not like you'll impress anyone in a shiny cruiser

Please do not speak for the entire FW group. I for one welcome any new bro who wants to shoot stuff. Op convo me if you need info about fw pvp stuff.

It used to be I'd've just answered this with "Grab a ship, join militia, X up for a fleet and replace you loss, rinse repeat." but with all the residual nullsec infestation from the brief moment FW was marginally profitable that works less well. So...

Pick a side. Look at killboards. Apply to corps. A lot of them will take a PVP newbro, and you'll assumedly be SPed to fit in some halfway useful hulls too. A lot of FW corps these days run the whole rack from T1 frigate lolroams up to T3 gangs w/logi etc. A bunch of Minniemil corps base in Huola so you could check the station offices there for corps to apply to, likewise I think it's largely Auga nowadays for the Ammies. Unless stuff's changed since I was there Nourvukaiken is Squid-Central and the Frogs use Villore at the other end of the Black Rise pipe.

So yeah, there's a whole range of PVP available if you want it, and I'm sure there are corps in any of the Factions who'd be happy to enable you in the noble pursuit of getting blown up until you learn to get blown up slightly less often.

Also, it's less about not being scared because you no longer loose ships, more about no longer being scared that you're going to loose ships.
