The wiki also has a page for each ship in eve (eg. [[Atron]]). These pages often have recommended fits and skills to help you get an idea for how to fit the ship, and are a good starting place to get a sense of how the ship flies, although there is no alternative for flying a couple for yourself.

Within the game itself, if you go to the fitting window, click 'Browse' and select 'Corporation Fittings' in the drop-down box of the fittings browsing window, you can see a limited selection of basic pvp fleet fittings. You can also get advice in the University's chat channels. (To link a fit that you have set up already into chat, drag the ship's name from the fitting window and drop it into the chat entry box; to link one from the fittings browsing window, drag the image of the ship.)

If you want to go further afield there's a forum for EVE players called Scrapheap Challenge which has fairly comprehensive [http://www.scrapheap-challenge.com/viewforum.php?f=3 pvp] and [http://www.scrapheap-challenge.com/viewforum.php?f=39 pve] ship fittings forums. Bear in mind that fittings suggested on Scrapheap are usually aimed at players with a lot of skillpoints, and a lot of the pvp fittings are for small gang or solo pvp. It's also a forum with a fairly aggressive and competitive posting culture which doesn't suffer fools, new members or people who break the rules (or any combination of the three), gladly.

There is also Battleclinic.net, which has a popular [http://eve.battleclinic.com/browse_loadouts.php database] of suggested fittings. Treat Battleclinic fittings with caution, however, as many of them are jokes, attempts to troll, or just plain bad.
