Warfare & Tactics

There are a few frigs that can effectively make use of a dualprop + scramkite setup.

I will just the list the smaller ships I like flying the most on my FW alt. This is just personal preference, and they might not be the best ships to enter into a defended plex with.

T1:
-tristan(brawl, kite or neut)
-atron (both rail or blaster)
-incursus(double rep, blaster)
-breacher(rockets, Dual MASB or Dual MASB/SAAR)

Faction:
-comet(hull tanked)
-republic fleet firetail(sometimes double web, sometimes not)

Dessie:
-Algos(10 mn or neut)
-Thrasher(auto cannon, 10 mn or arty)

I would recommend though to buy one of every ship you can fly decently and see by trial by fire which ones you like the most. Alternatively you can tell us if you like brawling, scram kiting or pure kiting and it will be easier to guide you towards a ship you might like.

When you feel like you know what you are doing, you can also play around with the pirate frigs. A lot of people will not engage those solo, so beware of the blop.

Then ofc. you would need to learn the engagement profile of each ship. You don't want to jump into a plex where something kitey is sitting in your AB blaster frig.

Other people might have better advice, wish you the best of luck.

I haven't really pvped much recently so I don't know all the metas. But generally you want to fly stuff that will allow you to engage allot of different ships and at least have a chance. Ideally you can engage allot of ships in your own class and a few ships a class up.

In low sec there traditionally were a few different ranges you wanted to look at. Point blank, edge of scram range, and disruptor range. What range do you want to be with your ship. (your ship will have the most *effective* dps and tank at that range) How are you going to make sure you can get to that range? And what is your plan b if you can't get to the range you want?

One big question from the start is whether you have an ogb alt. Because the fits that can work and what they can do will change drastically depending on if you have one or not.

What I recommend is looking at some of the active faction war or low sec pirate corps and finding the top solo killers. Then look at the ships they get the solo kills with and then look at their lossmails for those fits. Plug them into eft and see if you can understand how they would pilot them to get kills. Some ships like garmurs can be pretty obvious others may have more nuanced theories behind them.


Good luck.

Get an alt set up to run off grid links from a cloaky T3.

Everything else, sadly, is secondary.

You don't need links, there's plenty of fights available while avoiding those pilots. Spend a little time in the area and the pilots who use them will be very obvious, you can just add them to contacts and make your own "links offenders register"

Well he was asking about the best tactics for PvP in the FW zone...having a nigh untouchable pet that gives you +25% speed, ehp, lock range and point range is pretty useful.

Also doubles as a nearly uncatchable scout that can run combat probes.

I am holding you responsible for every liver poisoning related death that happens to an EVE player from now on. I project that 50% of the EVE playerbase will die within the week and level off until only the russian are left.

By definition buying a link alt will have zero effect on your solo pvp.

Goddamn it, I just got my drinking under control!
