Come find me I'll PVP you! You don't have to worry about my friends jumping in cause I don't have any. Not a very likable guy, so **** off! If you need a corp hit me up. Hearing is not a problem, cause the only thing that pisses me off more than forum police is having to talk. Mofo if I wanted to talk I would log off climb out of my mother's cellar and go hire a prositute.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned The Punisher plan from the flight of dragons blog. Basically this guy took 20 punishers and lost them learning about solo pvp. Started knowing nothing... ended up a dangerous pirate. Really, this is the only way of doing it.

Here is a possible 'work-around' that should enable you to join a large fleet normally, even though you are deaf -

The good thing about large fleets is that you never have to do any talking - it's all about listening to the Fleet Commander. So...

1. Get voice recognition software - my undertanding is that the technology is very good these days. Apparently, you don't even need to callibrate it to a voice.

2. Use the internet to find a way of turning the Teamspeak / Ventrilo speaker 'out' Arrow voice activated software. In theory, this should be simple.

3. Use the voice activated software to write on a Word document.

4. Change the Eve Online settings from 'Full screen' to 'Window' so you can see both Eve Online and the Word document on your screen.

5. You'll know it's the Fleet Commander speaking because they use the same short phrases in every fleet in Eve. There are few (or no) important conversations that last longer than four words.

Finally, if the fleet commander says, "Jump to..." and looks like jibberish - that's probably how it sounds to everyone else! Just press 'jump to the fleet commander' and you should be ok! It's what I normally do anyway! I just watch what other people are doing.

The other small difficulty you might come across is understanding the name of the primary target. I think this is a really small detail - I'm sure you could find a really good target using your eyes.

The important thing is to use cheap ships until you adapt - and I'm sure you will - sooner than you think.


That's one hell of a great idea,
but fails (no offense, i really like the idea) when you realize
that there are ppl from sweden, ireland, australia, USAmerica, germany, Austria, poland, africa, etc etc

Too many dialects, too many accents ... and whatever the NSA uses, it's not for commercial use. xD

Experience is the best teacher. This is hands down the best way to learn.
