Warfare & Tactics

Best way to learn is by doing. Research pvp while you are doing it and you will learn in no time.

Check out some Eve youtubers. Eve Is Easy and Chessur's channel is a good place to research different tactics for solo and small gang.

Also make sure you learn how to EFT

Don't just join a corp; play the game for fun and make real friends who are cool to fly with, that's better than just joining a corp and being a pawn in someone else's game.

Fit something out on the singularity server and fight people there without risk of actually losing stuff.

I'd trained up to use a zealot on an older account, but before I actually bought the thing and started using the fit I made, I went on sisi and had some gud fites with people.

It was incredibly informative - learned what I needed to improve on my fit, and what I could and couldn't fight against, and surprised myself with how effective I actually was when it was literally my first real PVP ever.

And I did it without losing all my stuff in the process, so it was very forgiving.

Now I fly in RvB and blow stuff up with them.

Join a large, PvP oriented player run alliance. Doesn't matter which really, most offer similar benefits.

Any large sov null bloc will offer things like an SRP, doctrines and fittings designed by experienced players, solid FC's, free skill books, often hand out free ships, and have bunches of fleets in the Finder that you can join any time of the day.

Since you want to PvP, you are already doing the only thing any sov alliance will ask of you- show up and die gloriously on occasion. And you'll get to do it in a fleet of friends. When you aren't doing PvP, you can pursue whatever PvE you like and do it in upgraded null sec space. Or don't play at all....without the NEED to PvE just to keep ships in your hangar, you can spend your Eve time just doing PvP answering Rage Pings. I don't have to grind PvE for hours and then still come running for a two hour defense fleet on top of that.

If you want to pew- why not get paid for it? Our Logi guys profit from losses. Aspiring FC's are handed entire fleets worth of ships to whelp just for trying to step up as a leader.
We run instructional classes just like E-Uni, both on a bloc and alliance level. Doctrine ships that are very expensive are usually subsidized for purchase (and of course SRP'd after that).

I cannot think of an easier way to get into PvP on whatever scale you want. Solo, small gang, giant TiDi inducing node melters.....we do it all.

Awesome vids.
