Yes. If the fight is fair, you have already lost. The essence of EVE PvP is to fight on your terms where you know you can win, while making it appear to the enemy that the fight is going well for them so they will actually engage. Get good at deception, intercepting enemies where they don't expect you, hiding your reinforcements until the last possible moment, splitting enemy forces and slaughtering the weak. Meanwhile learn to predict when the hostilesare trying to do the same to you and how to avoid it.

EVE is as "fair" as a game of chess. Does a pawn have a chance to capture a rook by itself? Not in a hundred years. But a good player would never leave their pawns exposed - unless it's for a greater strategic purpose.


So, basically try to guess what the other guy's game is and warp away if I'm not reasonably sure I can kill him before his backup arrives?

But, the other guy's going to be doing the same to me. So, if I surmise that I can beat him then he'll surmise the same thing and disengage unless I'm wrong or he's being crafty.

I never imagined PVP would be 90% feinting and sizing each other up. How the heck do people do all that calculus in the 2 seconds before a fight starts all while juggling modules and managing range/speed? Is it just practice?

Not to be maen here, but since you already got some help. It's clear you bought your account. Because there is no way you got to 25Mil SP with out learning a few of the most basic tactics in eve. I only say that because 25m/SP is like what...2 years of training? I'm not knocking you for it, just pointing that out. It took most of us over a year of training up and acctually playing for that time to get to the point we are at now, Eve isnt a normal MMO..."Yet". Its requires alot of time and effort to be good at it.

Ignore shiptoasting moron alts that can't prove any genuine combat experience.

Not sure who you're talking to.


The OP, regarding you. Obviously. Guess you should skip buying the logistics alt, booster alt and falcon alt, and use the money to buy yourself some reading comprehension lessons instead.
