Warfare & Tactics

OP if your corp lives in provi than chances are they already have a logi system in lpace for bringing goods from empire to null.

Just ask your ceo or a corp officer.

I understand completely, since peeveepee only happens in that one single system in all of the Eve Universe. I guess you'll have to biomass your toons, cancel your account, and go back to WoW.

Confirming that all gates are perpetually camped in all types space making it totally impossible to do PVP anywhere at all.

I'll try to be less mean that other posters, but TBH, none of them are wrong either.

BEFORE you undock. Check the map. It has filters for number of ship jumps in the last hour/24hours, you'll see if it's a heavily trafficked system. Filter for ship kills and pod kills in last hour. If you get a giant red balloon, chances are the system is hot, whether it's gate camped or not- stay out unless you are prepared for serious PvP against multiple foes. In Null Sec, nearly as many pod kills as ships usually indicates a camp using bubbles.
You need to find a system that has traffic, but few kills. Not NO KILLS, but a few probably indicates local pirates- this is who you want to fight.

Go there and look in local at bios. Find a pirate (negative sec status) and convo for a 1v1. Most likely they'll happily accept- pirates just want a fight, which is hard to get in low sec. I lived in Molden Heath as a pirate, trust me on this- you WILL get an honorable fight if you ask. They are pirates, they aren't afraid of you..or losing a ship. I'll name-drop here....RANSM, BRRC (my former corp), among others can be counted on for honor duels. Put your pod in a safe after losing (which you likely will) and chat. Pirates are really into PvP and geek out on numbers and fittings, they will talk your ear off with advice.

Alternatively, go to null sec and camp a gate yourself in a cloaky Interdictor (very easy to train for, all newbs should train for them really). Set up over the gate and cloak. If something comes thru you can take on (other destroyers, frigates, miners, haulers) then decloak, bubble, lock, kill, laugh.............if it's too big, stay cloaked and watch it warp away.

Best of all- join up with others and storm into a system with friends. FW militia isn't my favorite place to find a fleet, but it's designed for that purpose. Just have to be patient, poke veterans to form a fleet. Lots of good pilots there, don't be afraid to ask questions between fights. Many pirate corps specifically look to take on newbs since it takes only a couple weeks to be flying frigates and destroyers well and they tend to fly those mostly. Sort of the anti E-Uni. Although E-Uni itself is a tried and true entity training PvP all the time in dedicated educational fleets.

GL, stick with it. Eve needs more PvP'ers.

Yeah, because there aren't other ways into Provi. That aside, the gate camp hasn't been created that can't be successfully navigated with a little bit of skill. If you handle it correctly the campers need to be good, and also very lucky, to catch you.

Also if you want help, post with your main so we can take a look at what ship you're trying to PvP with.

Getting through a gate camp in a Hurricane is much different than with a Rifter.

I heard something about Yong, but I doesnt recall what.
Maybe there are some awesome pirates over the area

mwd+cloak trick if you cant fly cov-ops

As a rule of thumb: the more roundaround the way you take, the less the chance for gate camp.
Also going in right after downtime, right before downtime or very early in the morning will minimize chance you get screwed.
And ofc, cloak > camp (usually, good ones can still get you, but chance is much lower)

Well I don't know if this will help you but this is what me and a friend did just yesterday and mind you this was my first pvp experience. I consider it one of the most fun times even though I wasnt able to kill anyone. We basically bought a stack of merlins and shitfitted them with t1 gear, set a route from our high sec hub to another high sec system whle changing the star map settings to allow LS entry.

We basically knew we were going to lose the ships and didnt care much for it cause they were cheap and replacable however from simply going system to system I learned hoe to narrow down targets using the d-scanner and system map browser open. What endedup happening was that we engaged a nemesis that was used bait and upon engaging we got jumped by a t2 cruiser gang. Suprisingly they tried to ransom our t1 merlins... I pretty much said f*** off and proceeded to mutilate their t2 drones (couldnt really do any damage cause of their tank) and got blown up. It was a great experienc and I am looking forward to more pvp.

What I'm trying to say is that you have to not care about dying first and make sure you can replace your ship and that's when you'llstart to learn what and who to engage!

Just imo... Good luck!
