Dear CSM9,

Congratulations to all that got on the new crazy ride

I would like to propose to "fix" the gap between hi-sec and lo-sec,
by allowing Capsuleers to Duel Concord for PvP practise in hi-sec
to prepare themselves for non-consensual pvp encounters in lo-sec Cool

Regards, a Freelancer

Dueling only teaches people how to tank/gank more than the other guy or hard-counter that tactic. It teaches nothing about "actual PvP" which includes, but is not limited to...

- situational awareness
- making judgement calls on whether to engage or run based on available information and knowledge
- how to adapt to "unfair" situations (because almost every PvP encounter in low-sec is "unfair")
- working with others when necessary
- manipulating a situation so the odds are better stacked in your favor

And FYI... non-consensual PvP also happens in high-sec.

How did you Veterans start?

A better option, I think, would be to guide newbies, with appropriate warnings, into lowsec, as part of the NPE. Ideally dropping them into shipclass limited plex. And /ideally/ with some help getting them to fleet up with another player.


Sure, there will be some ganking. But it's optional. And a player could get a fit ship for it.

Woo! CSM XI!

Or perhaps a PVP arm of the career chains.

This is something I've seen proposed in F&I in the past. I'd like to see a new part of the tutorial cover some PVP concepts like scrambling, EWAR, kiting vs. brawling, etc etc.
