So did you die in Jita lately, even though it's a high sec system ?

Join ouch we'll teach you how to survive anywhere

New Minmatar pilot here, looking to train skills and learn to survive....and shed my carebear skin!

I want to enjoy low-sec/null sec, and OUCH definitely has my attention. I'll be looking for you in OUCH-UNI!

If you spend a little time watching kids play in the sandbox, you'll see many different play styles. There are the kids who build upwards, molding the sand into towers and spires. There are the kids who begin digging deep to find the wet sand and carve out tunnels and grottos. There are the kids who simply scratch at the surface, making tracks and spirals. Then there are the mean kids, who just want to fling sand in the other kids' faces and wipe out their creations. And, finally, there is that one kid that no one wants to talk about. You know the one. The one who simply sits and watches what the others are doing, while they all all ignore him. And, then without warning, he steps out of his little shorts and pees all over the sand.

Can you guess which one will grow up to be the OUCH pilot?

Join us. But, please, keep your shorts on until the FC gives the order.

If you are new to Eve, or new to Nulsec/pvp, let OUCH teach you the basics of surviving and thriving in nul. This is not a 4 hour crash course that takes you immediately, and most likely unprepared, into nul sec. The OUCH program is a self paced, progession of training, that will ease you into nul as you acquire the skills needed to survive in nul. You'll never be totally safe, but if you practice what is taught, your chance of survival will greatly increase.

The lessons learned from my time in OUCH have improved both my gameplay and my enjoyment of Eve. Consider joining OUCH.....

There's a lot of exciting news coming out of Iceland. As CCP continues to grow this wonderful, virtual multiverse, OUCH will still be here, still be providing the same service to the player base. We teach noobs to survive in null sec. We teach Care Bears to grow teeth and claws.

Join us. The more EVE changes, the more OUCH extends its mission.

Welcome to OUCH! We're certainly glad to have you. Our EU contingent has been growing steadily, giving us a strong presence around downtime. I look forward to meeting you in game. Welcome aboard!

We talk alot about our mission being to teach players to survive in nullsec. But we actually teach much more than just evasion and survival techniques. While I'm out of game the next few days moving household, I will work on putting up posts outlining the many other aspects of living in null that students will learn by joining OUCH.

One of our key teachings is that any pilot older than a week can contribute meaningfully to small gang combat. If the player can fly a T1 frig and fit the holy trinity of web-scram-AB, we will make him a valuable component of our fleet. He will not just be cannon fodder. We will first teach him to tackle and to survive. As his skills grow, we will give him greater roles and ease him into more complicated ships and fittings. But that is for later. For now, I want the true noob player to know he is welcome and he will learn.

Join us.

We also take great pride and joy in killing half-billion isk ships with our merry little band of killer noobs in T1 frigs. What could possibly be better on the killboard than a Blackops BS getting killed by merlins, harpies and griffins? When the target is worth ten times the value of our entire fleet, life on the bubble is SWEET!

Join us. Merlins and Slashers and Griffins, oh my!

What does the typical person do when they discover a 'great deal' or have an 'exceptional experience'? Well, I tell my family and friends, so they can get the same great deal/experience. This is why I recommend OUCH to everyone I meet in my Eve travels.

My time in OUCH continues to be an exceptional experience and I learn even more each time I fly with this group. The OUCH program is run by pilots who are not only knowledgable and friendly, but passionate about sharing their knowledge with the Eve community. Their commitment to ongoing training, assessment, and improvement assures the OUCH program will continue to be both relevant and beneficial to all who complete it.

If you want to increase your survivability in nulsec and want to learn basic PvP, join OUCH.

I joined OUCH after reading some great posts from both students and foes. It sounded like a great program but you never really know until you actually try it. Eight short weeks later, I've graduated. Although I've had a bit of training in other corps, I've never felt the level of success and accomplishment that I got out of the OUCH program.

What makes the OUCH program different, and better than other programs?

Several things come to mind: great organization, great core members combined with exceptional leadership througout the corp, great training material and the list goes on.... However, the same things can be said of other training corps such as Eve Uni and Agony.

One aspect that sets OUCH apart from other programs is that OUCH has defined graduation requirements.....

Students can't can't complete the program by simply attending classes, or going on a roam. Each student must successfully complete a solo nulsec travel run without losing their ship, and be involved in 10 'real' kills out 'On the Bubble' before they graduate from the program. The OUCH graduation medal must be earned.

This is one aspect that made this program both enjoyable and satisfying; I had to earn that medal.

I totally enjoyed my time with OUCH and I've since rejoined the corp with a different pilot. I'm looking forward to sharing what I've earned with any who choose to join OUCH.
