EVE General Discussion

Getting to know and learning from other PvP players is a great way to go. One way to start meeting a lot of PvP focused players of various skill levels without committing to joining a corp sight unseen is to run in public PvP fleets, also referred to as Not Purple Shoot It (NPSI) fleets.

Here's a handy list of NPSI groups compiled recently by CSM member and RvB Ganked FC Mangala Solaris:

I strongly recommend flying with a few of them, talking to the people you meet, and listening to their thoughts about things big and small. Remember that not everyone with whom you fly in these fleets will be as knowledgeable as everyone else, but soon you can work out whose insights and understandings of game mechanics lead most directly to success.

As you get to know people in the NPSI community, opportunities to join a corp that focuses on solo or small-gang PvP should open up.
