Agony Unleashed is running a new PVP-Basic class!


***********************************************


Please note: Enrollment for this class is done through a form. This includes Alumni.

Class signup closes April 16th @1700 Eve time

New to Eve and keen to get straight into PVP? An older player but never been confident enough to try a public roam? Returning to the game and feeling a bit rusty? This class is for you! You'll learn how to survive, participate and have fun in fleet operations and at the end of the class, will know all you need to get involved in any public roam. This could be the beginning of an addiction to Eve PVP that takes you from "hey, this is pretty fun!" to commanding fleets of your fellow pilots.

You'll be taught through a step-by-step approach that focuses on what you need to know so you don't get lost - from joining a fleet, through keeping up with your fleetmates to PVP communication and more. If you've tried to join a fleet before and found it a little overwhelming, this class should fill in the gaps and help smooth the learning curve. At the end of the class section, we'll go straight into a roam through Nullsec and you'll immediately be able to put your skills to use.

The core topics this class will be covering are:

  • Basic fleet maneuvering
  • Basic PvP mechanics
  • Communication and recon

Future classes (yet to be announced) will cover more advanced aspects of PVP.

Time and Duration: ~3-4 hours including roam

  • Class: Saturday 16th April starting at 19:00 EVE Time. Please try to arrive well before the class is due to start.
  • Roam: On the SAME day as the class, the roam will start when the class finishes.

Meeting Location: Berta IV - Moon 19 - Ammatar Consulate Bureau

Price: 15m

Thanks to a generous donation from the now defunct Somer Blink, we are able to offer a 50% discount on the regular price to all our students!

NB: If 15m is still a hardship, the Somer donation can cover the entire fee. Just include the ticker (BLINK) in the enrollment form and the remaining 15m fee will be covered.

Voice Comms: Agony Comms, Teamspeak 3 (TS3)

See the PVP-BASIC Wiki Page for prerequisites and preparation material for this class.

In particular, read through the PVP-BASIC Preparation Checklist!

Note - as with all Agony classes, you should bring your own ships. Please see the announcement thread on our forums for required ships and fittings and ensure you review the pages linked above, some time before the class!

However, we will have suitable ships available on contract shortly before the class if you don't have time to arrange them yourself.

This is in three days! If you haven't done any PVP, you're a bit rusty or even if you just want to join a fun public fleet, this should suit you.

Some feedback comments posted after the class we ran four weeks ago:

Quote:
Much better use of time than the previous format. All the basics of fleet movement covered. Then straight into the fun stuff. As usual, much of the learning came from listening to and observing how the Agony pilots behaved.

I really enjoyed it and as hoped it has re-ignited my interest in Eve. Thank you :)

Agreed, this went very smoothly - was a great time, especially the fight at the end!

Presentation of the material was very organized, and I was impressed by how efficient your comms were.

Looking forward to the more advanced classes!
