EVE New Citizens Q&A

GUIZE WHATS A TITAN AND HOW DO I TAKE THE BRIDGE!

being an fc is a bit different to being in a fleet, calling primaries and making sure the fleet is not dying while also controlling your own ship requires a crazy amount of skill and focus.

Good news that you are trying pvp fleets can be very daunting the first time, you will mess up quite alot and different areas of space require a different style of fc'ing.

Good luck and hope you enjoy fleet fights in the future :)

There is alot of corps that offer this to rookies, some of the merc alliances can help you with this as i know they do like to help rookies getting into pvp and im sure they will show up here soon, most of them will supply ships aswell for you to die in

Make it bloody, shoot suspects.

Unless you can alpha it off the field.

See if these guys are still going at it.

Its all practice at the end of the day, dying is a major part of the learning

I like your idea but eve is game not real life,in real life you train in safe enviroment then go to dangerous but in eve its try after try death after death until perfection. If you like fleet warfare go to null especialy there you can find anything from 5 man fleets to 500 man fleets, "a good way to train for FC" actually good way to train fc is to give him fleet of 10 people with 8 dps t1 cruisers and 2 t1 logi cruisers and let him roam he will probably get his fleet killed few times but after some time he will get hang of it.
Also one more thing if you are looking for alliance then you can join us,your decision

If you wanted to try your hand out at a large scale fleet operation without the fighting you could try a large mining OP.

To successfully run a large mining fleet can be difficult and dangerous even in high sec. When you get a lot of mining ships in one system it tends to draw attention. Also trying to coordinate boosts and hauling ore effectively to get max yield is not easy if done right.

Then there is the whole issue of getting the ore sorted and payed out to everyone.

It could be challenging, profitable and a good learning experience.

personally id try and learn how to fly a ship solo before jumping into fleets, learning to function a ship without anyone telling you will make it easier when people tell you, if you know what i mean

Telling people to align to a gate, hitting the fleet warp button then telling them to jump is easy, it doesn't actually require practice.

The things that actually matter are the ability of a fleet to form up properly, in a timely manner and in appropriate ships and then to go out and accomplish an objective against some kind of opposition. To that end fleeting up and flying around aimlessly won't actually accomplish much.

Like I said, if you're dead set on doing it in highsec you could go shoot suspects, or suspect bait yourselves. Other people in the thread suggested lowsec roaming, which is fine too but a bit more unpredictable.

If you want to join a fleet to learn PvP, then join the "Spectre Fleet" channel in game, we run NPSI (Not Purple Shoot It) roams through Low Sec and Null Sec, and depending on the FC running the fleet you might get different bonus's, like me, I run SRP's for my Frigates roams, and sometimes on Cruiser roams depending on numbers and the like. We have lots of fun, get some kills and die as well, but it is always fun, especially learning to be a full FC.

So I get what you asking for in the OP, but it just isn't as effective as learning hands on, like last night, I did a 5 hour roam through Low Sec, and we had 2 newer players in fleet, one was one of our Tackle ships, and the other was a DPS ship, and they did great, they listened, and I didn't get them whelped! Which is always a plus, trust me, join the channel, it is where I learnt to PvP and where I spend most of my time now. You will learn faster, plus, having a fleet with 20 regulars, and 2-5 newer players, is better for everyone, means there isn't people yelling at the FC to teach them to do things, questions get answered faster, and you learn hands on in a fun and awesome environment.

Hope to see you in Spectre!
