I like this idea! I've been hanging around in the channel for 2 days now but unfortunately the amount of new players there is not that great. Maybe we need more people around the rookie systems or advertise in some other way.

Anyhow I like to join one of these fleets in Amarr space and been fiddling with an Armor support ship. I'm by no means an Alpha character but I also don't want to bring a high DPS ship in, that would spoil the idea a bit I think.

I made this Dominix below. Please let me know if I can improve it. Armor tanking is quite new for me and as you can see I need to use some meta4 items to make it work.

Someone in Help channel said I might possibly be better off with a Nestor. Looking into that as well.

Tank looks fine, but it´s a bit heavy in regards to cap recharge. The other problem I see with the dominix as support ship is the limited RR range which will pretty much force people to anchor up on you, while you slowboat through the mission.

While in general there is nothing wrong with that, I kinda prefer letting the little ones a little put more room to pilot manually instead of turning them into pure F1 warriors right from the start :).

Usually I would also go with sentry drones on a domi and an MJD, but of course that will not work if you have to slowbaot around as anchor :).

Not saying it won´t work though, it is just a slightly different approach to getting the job done :).

Don't forget to swing by the "New Player Fleets" channel to hook up with some other new players, maybe fleet up and get some help from the older guys.

You should try to hang out in the Gallente area, one of my characters was made there and the npc corp chat was over a thousand and it was fairly busy.

Since this kindof group 'party' is the norm in other MMOs, I fully support the initiative.

You're doing good work, OP.

If I run across you in high sec I will jump in and help run new guys thru L4's (although my list of L4 agents is tiny). For years I've been on these forums preaching fleet PvE rather than the paradigm of obsessively doing it solo. I am convinced getting people to see PvE as a fleet activity will be the single biggest boost to getting people to stick with Eve, and upgrade to a paid sub- and eventually PvP.
