 Hi! I saw that you're working on a page about [[Sentry Drones]]. I think it's great that you're putting work into improving the Wiki, but could you please see if you can't integrate the information into the existing [[Drones]] and [[Using Drones]] pages (if it isn't already there)? It would be better to avoid duplicating information and spreading it across too many pages. [[User:Noemie_belacqua|Noemie]] [[User_talk:Noemie_belacqua|Belacqua]] 06:45, 29 February 2016 (CST)
+==PvE fittings==
+Since you are writing about ship fittings for PvE you could also take something from https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Guide_to_combat_sites (don't take the fits too seriously, some of them are pretty bad there). It would be best if you would also link to the fitting guide page there and maybe remove duplicated info and leave only broader info behind. Although you are writing about T1 PvE frigate/cruisers I think the page should cover whole subcap range from frigates to battleships with T2 and faction included. The more specialized T2/faction wouldn't need that much details though since you can expect the reader to know what they are doing once they get those but at least a "these are good ships to train to for X kind of PvE" would be good.[[User:Hirmuolio pine|Hirmuolio pine]] ([[User talk:Hirmuolio pine|talk]]) 12:34, 12 September 2017 (CDT)
+Thanks - definitely some good help.
+The PvE T1 Ships page is intended specifically to help brand new players pick a ship for sites and missions. The problem is overload. There's a constant flow of new players in chat asking about "good ships for level I missions". They get confused by answers that get into the details of missions, combat, fitting ... any and/or all of it. What they really want to know is "what are the ships most people use and why". The idea is that this page link can be given out in chat to help them figure it out.
+So I've tried to keep it as simple as possible. Just ships and weapons. Once they start thinking, say, "missiles", and see the ships that use missiles, then there are pages out there for the details. In particular, they can go to the page for the ship itself, which has fittings, skill recommendations and tactical advice.
+Also:
+*Added links to the "Advanced Ships" note ... for anyone who came here by accident and wants to get into higher level ships.
+*If new players aren't using T2 or faction ships, then it seems to me that presenting those here would likely add to their confusion. So instead added a link to the Faction Ships Overview, and also the full EVE ship guide.
