So yeah, I'm pretty much on the same train as everyone else with the 'blobs suck' thing. What people want is fair fights, yet the game makes no effort or mechanics to try to at least provide an incentive for that to happen.

I know I'll get flamed all to hell by saying this, but I do wish there was some kind of duel system or arena system where you coul sign up for like a 1v1 or 2v2 or 3v3 and nobody else could interfere. I think it would be fun as hell.


In all honesty find a corp for training will help

1v1 are easier to find, but you need to set them up right to avoid getting ganked. Fleet up with the person and meet at a safe. If they drop fleet or more ppl join (if your not fc) then its time to go. Fight in frigates until who know who you are dealing with. A lot of people will 1v1 in them and most of the time it is

a) not worth the time of a group of ppl to come after you
b) hard to get to the gankee by the time the fight is over (frig fights are quick...usually)

Larger groups are possible, but in general you have to know the people well to arrange larger fights.


This.

Flying with a small gang in the context of a PVP training corp will help a lot more than just 1) Undock 2) Fly to nearest low-sec 3) Die in a fire 4) Repeat x100. It really helps to have someone who is already an experienced pilot telling you exactly what went wrong and why. Way better than trying to work it out alone in the clone vat.

The more I hear "Go blow up 100 Rifters" the more my scam spidey senses go off. Who does that strategy REALLY benefit? All of the bored gate campers on the other side of that high-sec to low-sec gate, that's who. My advice would be:

1) Read everything you can get your hands on about PVP. Stop watching the "look at me" videos.
2) Learn what every PVP fit ship can do. Pay close attention to range, speed, etc. and figure out what ships your ship can kill, and what it should run like hell from.
3) Join at least one training corp. Take every class they offer. (Eve Uni, Agony classes, Pwned Factor, NA.)
4) Join a PVP corp (RvB comes to mind)
5) Fly in many small gang ops. Use the best ships you can afford to lose.
6) Every single time you die, try to understand exactly what went wrong. (Understand that every ship loss is YOUR fault.)
7) Use what you learn to get better.

There are some things you can do to sway the tide of battle in your favor.

ALWAYS have you guns toggled on overheat B E F O R E you start a fight. This is crucial.

Make sure you don't burn them out during the fight, toggle the overload off at 3/4 the way.


Edit: Inappropriate part removed, CCP Phantom.

I always have Sun Tzu and General Patton quotes close by when I PvP in this internet spaceship video game, eve online.
