= PVP =
PvP is a very broad subject and a large part of EVE Online. This page links to various resources on the wiki which contain information. It is particularly aimed at newer players. A curated list of PvP related pages can be found to the right.

== Types ==
PvP can be split into a few broad types. Depending on players preferences, all can be found within the Uni. These are:
=== [[Solo PvP]] ===
Fighting on your own can be an exciting, high adrenaline kind of fighting. Win or lose, whatever happens is down to you.
* Relevant page
=== [[Small gang PvP]] ===
A small gang can be anything from you and a few friends, to 10 or 20 pilots. Often operating relatively informally, in a small gang every pilot's actions count.
* Relevant page
=== [[Fleet PvP]] ===
The stuff that gets EVE into the news. From a Uni fleet formed to kill a few WTs to the 1000 main nullsec brawls, this is where billions of ISK can be laid to waste.

== Areas ==
Due to changing mechanics the area in which you are can greatly affect the way that PvP occurs.
=== [[Highsec PvP]] ===
Highsec PvP has many differences to any other area of space due to [[CONCORD]]. Suicide ganking, suspect hunting, and wars are the ways that targets are acquired. [[Crimewatch]] and [[Aggression Details|aggression]] mechanics are very important for this.
=== [[Lowsec PvP]] ===
Lowsec allows for much more fluid engagements than highsec due to the lack of CONCORD protection. However station and gate guns still provide some protection to pilots. Lowsec is generally considered the domain of small gangs and smaller ships (cruiser and down) however there are entities that will fly everything, including [[Supercapitals]]. [[Faction Warfare]] also occurs in lowsec, adding an additional dynamic.
=== [[Nullsec PvP]] ===
Lawless space! The only area of [[known space]] where you can use [[Bubble]]s or [[Bombs]]. The fights found here are very varied, from frigate 1v1 to massive wars over [[Sovereignty]].
=== [[Wormhole PvP]] ===
Unknown (AKA Wormhole space) is also lawless. However the lack of gates and wormholes, as well as mass restrictions make it quite unlike any other area. The mass limitations, and lack of [[Cynos]] limit the use of [[Capital Ship|Capitals]] and [[Battleships]]. Gangs of [[Strategic Cruisers]] are very popular.

== Roles ==
There are many roles that can be required depending on the specific fleet. Some of the more common ones are:
* [[FC Guide|Fleet Commander]] (FC) - leader of the fleet, normally flies a DD or (in larger fleets) boosting ship.
* [[Damage Dealer]] (DD) - main damage of the fleet
* [[EWar 101 Guide|EWAR]] - negates enemy ships
* [[Logistics]] (normally referred to as logi to differentiate from actual logistics such as hangers) - heal friendly ships
* [[Tackle|Tackling]] - stops and slows down enemy ships
* [[Skirmishers]] - normally flying an [[Interceptor]], they roam ahead of the fleet and find targets
* [[Scouting|Scout]] - normally flying a [[Covert Ops]], they operate cloaked and find targets or gather intel

== PvP within E-Uni ==
<!--There are varied opportunities for PvP while in EVE University, depending on your preferred playstyle. A good first step for all pilots is reading [[The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops]] which explains the basic commands used. The most common way to dip your toes into PvP is via fleets from Aldrat. They are formed using alliance chat and may be announced ahead of time. There are also permanent standing fleets and events that cater to PvP: -->

* [[Archive:Frigate FFA System|Frig FFA]]
* [[Archive:Low-Sec Campus]]
* [[Null-Sec Campus]]
* [[Wormhole Community]]
