My EVE

By not taking part in high-sec station PvP

Yes, but there is no inherent way of dealing with neutral remote repairers, or people unwillingly to fight on station undocks. Sure, there probably are people who actually fight, and don't use remote repair, but those are few and far between. But that doesn't have anything to do with the question he asked, and I'm sorry if my rather blunt answer rubbed you the wrong way. There is no real way to protect yourself from your opponent doing it, neutral logistics are almost invulnerable on high-sec stations, and there is nothing you can really do to stop an opponent from using them.


There are a few niche tactics like bumping your opponent off the undock etc. But very hard to pull this off effectively.

I think the main thing EVERYONE can learn from you is: What fights to choose in more common ships! aka BCs, cheap HACs (like your t2 ishtar or maybe even a vaga), BSs, and frigates. I think it would also help if you talked about navigation and range control. I just hope this won't result in thousands of mini-garmons. lol That might get sticky.

The short answer is: don't let yourself feel that rush fully. The farther toward "homg adrenaline wheeeeee" the pendulum of neuro-chemical responses of the human body swings, the farther it will swing the other way, leaving you feeling godawful. This is true of a great many things, learning to achieve a more or less stable state is not easy, but very beneficial. You're right, it's probably genetic, but it's definitely something that you're hardwired to feel. Adrenaline makes some people sick, the goal is not to change the way it makes you feel (I don't think you can if it's bad enough), the goal is to control the adrenaline spikes.

The long answer full of my own thoughts, anecdotes and speculation is within this wall of text.

This is an interesting issue because it concerns the interface between stuff you do in game and how it affects your physical state. Confirming that this used to happen to me, and still does at times when I'm kind of zoning out and then SUDDENLY people that want to kill me (usually happens when hauling something many jumps through low/null, and jumping into a sea of red as I get into the personal autopilot groove of warping from gate to safe to gate). I get headaches from the adrenaline in these situations and it totally sounds ******** because I'm experiencing real life health effects from flying Internet Spaceships, but this is the way of things. The adrenaline kick makes for shaky hands and a hurting head, but it helps me think and make good decisions very quickly, has proved to be useful IRL Then comes the feeling of being drained which is common after an adrenaline rush. When it happens frequently, like daily or even more often, this can literally be bad for one's health, kind of like abuse of caffeine that can **** up adrenal gland function for years (speaking from experience), our bodies aren't meant to receive this "holy **** imma die emergency mode on" response too often, it really is a life-preservation emergency hormonal response reserved for running away from real things that want to eat you and the like.

I spent time learning to deal with it, not for the game though, had a real life incentive. First things first, don't blame yourself for feeling terribad after an adrenaline experience, stepping away from the screen is not ragequitting, it's doing a smart thing and calming yourself. Those who judge can **** right off. It's a perfectly normal response. Second, I suggest looking into learning about relaxation techniques, for muscles and your brain. Takes time to master them, but once you do you can learn to go from a state of stress to purposefully controlled calmness quickly. Controlling your breathing is very important, too. I'm not just bullshitting with some meditate to achieve nirvana or whatever. Relaxation techniques aren't bullcrap, they exist and they work, and it can seem like magic when you learn to get it right. And third, anticipate these situations, and practice dealing with them. Practice practice practice. When you know that you know what you're doing, it's a lot easier to stay calm. And practice a lot of introspection: what makes you feel a certain way, what helps you deal with it, etc. Be honest with yourself though Controlling your thinking, muscles and breathing controls your adrenal response, if adrenaline spikes make you sick, the goal is to learn to calm down very quickly and stop the pendulum from swinging too far. Some people find it easier to stay calm when they are drunk because dire situations can seem a lot less dire when you're feeling merry. When you do get hit by a sudden deadly Internet Spaceship surprise and you do get that spike of adrenaline and it's too late to try and keep it at bay, just take it in stride, it happens. Every person is different. But you'll find it a lot easier to deal with PvP when you go out looking for it and find it.

Ok a guide on how to get Low sec and 0.0 people to quit posting how to get targets into low sec and null.. OR how to explain to Elite pvpers That allot high sec people dont care?

TBH. Make video's like this guy. Kil2? Commentary is a must for good guide video's.


He focus's alot on how a solo pvp player should think when entering a fight. That information can be translated into group combat and can create far better pilots in a fleet. He is very specific about the topics he covers. And highlights his mistakes(alot of pvp video's I have seen dont have this)

As for high sec pvp. Try and cover the machanics of this. ie..nuet reps(and the changes made to them), station games(timers), splitting gate camps, ect. And simple things like fittings, explaining the use of mods in certain situations. Those are some of the basics alot of new pilots need to learn.

GL hope to see some great video's!!!

Why is it beneficial to place three remote sensor boosters on a command Loki than the more commonly used 3x eccm setup?

I'd love to see a PvP tutorial which touches on pilot mindset upon engaging. On the surface, Eve appears to be a space-themed spreadsheet with hard-coded rules. But underneath all the formulas exists a basic truth: where your head is going into a fight makes all the difference.

It sounds crazy, but the expectations you bring to a fight generally determine the course of that fight. There are days I really don't feel like fighting or get it in my head that my roam can only end in disaster... and I lose ship after ship (even one on one with lesser skilled and/or younger pilots). Other (rare) days when I'm howling for vengeance I can take on superior odds and walk over my opponents... because there was no doubt in my mind as to the outcome.

There's more to these fights than just loadouts and statistics.*









* Or else I'm just crazy, in which case it's probably best to ignore me and don't make eye contact or sudden moves.

That losing ships doesn't matter

There are two main points that people new to PvP are always completely unaware of and that these points win time and time again. I've spent years as a lowsec pirate and these two points are the two largest catalysts for success and have made me billions.

1. Fly as a team
2. Scout ahead

Fly as a team
You must be a team! Period! No questions! Nominate a strict chain of command and stick to it. If anyone violates the chain, kick them. There must only be one Fleet Commander and their say on all matters (warping, primary's) is final! Period! Finding a good FC is important but if you are inexperienced, pick a guy with the most experience and allow him to lead and learn. All FC's have made mistakes and got a lot people killed (including me) but each loss is lesson that you will not repeat. The most important aspect is that you have one voice and one goal. If there is any dissension kick that player immediately. I can't stress this enough, you must move and fight as one unit.

Scout ahead
You would be surprised how many times i've seen single players and fleets blindly jump into hostile systems. Believe me, ALL < 0.5 gates are watched! ..We call em 'eyes', scouts who are always ahead and to the rear of fleets. Always move your eyes into the system you are jumping into and never, ever jump the fleet without the say-so of your eyes. Eyes should also be masters of the directional scanner to make sure there are no fleets incoming to a gate and to detect if they are parked off-grid. As a addition to this point, all fleet members must continually spam the directional scanner in hostile systems to look for probes, incoming ships etc. And remember everyone should keep their eyes peeled on local.

There are many more tips i could give but are more specific to a particular event, these two however are universal. btw, it doesn't matter what you fly, all ships have uses, it's the application and tactics that win every time.
