Well it's true. PVP in EVE requires very little of real "skill". Just select target from OV and that's it.

Who will make the first MMORPG privateer clone?

PVP much?


It's true. You need to know how to log in to Vent, be told what to fit, what to fly, when to warp, who to shoot at.

The error in forum lore is that people who don't list off the dozen things like optimals, cap management, when to MWD and when to adjust transversals don;t know how to PvP and they don't "get EVE". But they do, they just don't feel compelled to point it out because everyone knows that everyone knows.

Condensed version, EVE does not take huge amounts of brain work. It takes Vent, scouts and in the end, grade 11 math.


The problem with that statement is that there are people who believe that eve pvp is just, hit orbit, F1, F2, F3

And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell. Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell.

I love fleets that fly like that, they bring us lots of easy kills!

Seriously, if you are half-way decent there is a lot more to flying in fleets than that and even more if you are flying solo or in small gangs.

If you are expecting the FC to make every decision and choose your every action for you, well you just aren't doing your job as a pilot, you are just a bigger drone of the FC's ship, far less worthwhile to a fleet than a real pilot.

And OP's idea is pure fail, this game needs to be MORE noobie friendly not less AND more player skill based not less. If you want everything based on your stats and gear, go back to WoW!
(Not vanilla WoW cos that actually had a fair amount of skill involved)
