== Lesson 1 - Introduction ==

Welcome to Abyssals 101. This lesson is an introduction to both Abyssals and Eve in general. There are many ways to learn about the game as a new player and this is one of them. If you do not know about those other ways, please head over to Eve-Uni's Core classes. We recommend the Careers class as your first stop followed by the other Core classes. None of those classes are required for this module. <br>

The main page for Abyssals can be found here: Link (https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Abyssal_Deadspace) and we recommend that you read through that page at your leasure. What follows is a heavily abridged version intended as a follow along and cheat-sheet for the live lessons. <br>
+
Test path by using new alt doing only what is written.  
 
<br>
 
<br>

The Abyss is a PvE activity in which you use an in-game item called "Filament" (link: https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Abyssal_filaments) to create an instance for up to 3 frigates or 2 destroyers or 1 cruiser to battle against a number of foes in three "rooms". In each room loot is received from a container called "Triglavian Bioadaptive Cache" as well as "Triglavian Extraction Nodes" and "Triglavian Extraction Subnodes". This loot can be sold on the market as well as to NPC's. <br>
+
Short introduction to the in-game activity. Do not link to more information yet so as to not overwhelm new players. Have a "Recommended further reading"/"Useful Links" section at the end/after each step.  
 
<br>
 
<br>
−
Each instance is further divided by it's tier (difficulty) as well as weather effects within the instance. <br>
+
Explanation of what A2O is, eg. a way for new players to gain a deep understanding of core-game mechanics while making ISK doing a very accesible activity.  
 
<br>
 
<br>
−
In addition to enemies, weather effects and ship restrictions each instance has a time-limit of 20 minutes before it collapses and destroys both your ship and pod. Due to this relative high risk, the ISK one can make with this activity can be quite substantial. A rough guide to ISK/h is as follows: <br>

Overview of steps and how to use the A2O path. First step should mainly consist of skills that will be usefull no matter what activity you will end up doing in Eve

As you can see Abyssals can be immensely profitable, not only that but they take at most 20 minutes to complete, or you die. According to this the skill requirements from you as a player, not SP, for this activity are somewhat high compared to other activities. This is however a blessing in disguise, if you can solo a tier 1 abyssal in a frigate, you are ready to face most (not all, never all) of what the new player experience in Eve Online has to throw at you. As such we in the Abyssal community cosider Abyssals to be an excellent first step on your pilot journey. <br>

Come and join us at Slays and catch the class live at first opportunity!

== Lesson 1 - Before your first T0 ==
 
−
So, you have heard the call of the Abyss and are willing to stare into it until it inevitably stares back and destroys both your ship and pod, but not before making copious amounts of ISK, learning pilot skills and having fun? Welcome to Slays, home of the Abyss. <br>
 
−
 
 
−
Before we can really begin, there is some house-keeping to be done, first and foremost you should join our chat-channel: (name of channel, guide on how to add channel in-game). Once there, please say hi! We will let you know once the next class will be held, if someone on staff is free they might run the class on the spot so don't hesitate to ask. Once you have a time and date, explore the game, attend some other CORE-classes (link to classes) and do some reading on the wiki. Once it's time head on over to Slays (link) in a clean clone. (explain what clean clone is and how to do it). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask in chat or in discord. (link) <br>

You are meant to take this class as an introduction and then further your knowledge on each of these topics using either Eve-Uni lessons or written material. This class will give you a day one way to experience the game and to point you in the right direction of skills that are usefull no matter the activity you want to pursue.

−
 
 
−
The first lesson will cover the following topics as well as take you through your first Abyssals and guide you on how to do more on your own.: <br>
 
−
1. How to start Abyssal instances safely
 
−
    - Home station & Clean clones
 
−

−
    - Maneuvering your ship using hot-keys
 
−
    - Target- & module-management using hot-keys
 
−
    - Q-clicking or How to manually steer your ship

To summarize: Abyssals are a great starting point to your Eve career, it gives you the knowledge and ISK to either move on to something else that is more to your liking OR continue doing Abyssals and having a good time around Slays. See the following rough future plans for either choice: <br>
+
== 1. Introduction ==
−
 
+
Introduce players to activity. Teach them how to start doing the activity. Provide paths to learning.
−
1. T0 in frigate/T3 in cruiser --> Orbit chache, destroy everything
 
−
  - Good if you don't like Abyssals
 
−
  - Good if you want a quick solo activity for some ISK
 
−
  - Good while you are still figuring out what you want to do in Eve, those first 20M using buyback will feel amazing
 
  
−
2. Make your way up to solo T1/T2 in a frigate and move on to T5/T6 in a cruiser
+
=== Prerequisites: ===
−
  - Good if you want a deep understanding of core skills and PvE concepts
+
-- Finish AIR introduction with Career Agents
−
  - Good if you like Abyssals (very IRL friendly)
+
-- Join Eve-Uni
−
  - Good if you like boat-loads of ISK (Bling-Gila isn't gonna buy itself)
+
-- Set up Mumble
−
 
+
-- Set up Discord
−
== Lesson 1 - Your First T0 Solo ==
+
-- Join Forum
−
You have made it through your first Abyssals, congratulations! Now the last step of this lesson is up to you, go out there and complete your first T0 Abyssal, solo!
+
-- Join in-game chats (which ones?)
−
 
+
-- Set up Uni overlay
−
<br>
+
-- Attend/Watch Eve-Uni CORE Career class & CORE Skill Planning class
−
<br>
 
−
Notes:
 
−
If recommending other class, specify schedule and where to find schedules
 
−
Try to teach skills that are applicable in many other activities if possible
 
−
More advanced classes can include more specific Abyss knowledge
 
−
Can be an alternative starting point for brand new players to later branch out to other stuff (Maybe too much solo activity? Own mumble chat? How do other Uni communities do?)
 
−
Do T2 in frigates community runs?
 
−
Stream a T6 for first class?

DISCLAIMERS

WIP

This page is a collection of ideas for lesson plans and community events in the Eve-Uni Abyssals group. For general information regarding Abyssals, please start [[1]]

Unless otherwise specified, this page should not be seen as official or reliable.

Desirable Alpa to Omega path


Test path by using new alt doing only what is written.
Short introduction to the in-game activity. Do not link to more information yet so as to not overwhelm new players. Have a "Recommended further reading"/"Useful Links" section at the end/after each step.
Explanation of what A2O is, eg. a way for new players to gain a deep understanding of core-game mechanics while making ISK doing a very accesible activity.
Overview of steps and how to use the A2O path. First step should mainly consist of skills that will be usefull no matter what activity you will end up doing in Eve

Prerequisites:

-- Finish AIR introduction with Career Agents -- Join Eve-Uni -- Set up Mumble -- Set up Discord -- Join Forum -- Join in-game chats (which ones?) -- Set up Uni overlay -- Attend/Watch Eve-Uni CORE Career class & CORE Skill Planning class

Mechanics to learn:

  • How to use the Uni overlay
  • How to use contracts to get T0 ships/filaments
  • How to use Jita alt to get to market for upgrades/more filaments

= 2. Move to running T1 solo in frigate consistently

Teach more specific Abyss skills. Deeper understanding of PvE mechanics. Continue on Abyss path towards cruisers.

Prerequisites:

  • Run solo T0s
  • Upgraded Tristan

Mechanics to learn:

  • Abyssal Deadspaces
    • Which ships can run which filaments?
    • DPS & EHP req per filament tier
    • Towers and Clouds

Ship knowledge

  • How to use heat
  • Which damage to deal based on enemy/filament type

  • 3rd Party fitting tool
  • How to find a system to pop higher-tier filaments


3. Move up to T2 - T4 solo in cruiser

No more handholding should be required. Move on to Gila.

Community building ideas

Some further thoughts on community building:

Have competitions for: 

   - fastest completion time
   - Highest tier reached in ship-type, solo/group
   - Flying suboptimal fits to show player skill
   - Use competition fits for runs or use your own in two separate categories
   - Highest cost/reward ration category


Use competition to create a community that's both learning together to get better results, make ISK along the way and have fun all at the same time.
Try to get our own money vault to fund competition fits and prizes
Also, save my disaster runs. Have players stream (if possible) intentional mistakes and how to fix them. Often in tutorials they only show what to do, not what to do if you make a mistake
3 vets running T6 on a specific budget and not knowing what the other guys are running in terms of ship, filament type etc. Maybe ban some ships, then do the runs.

To-Do/Issues

   - ISK and IRL skill gain exceed SP-gain. 
   - Finalize desirable IRL and SP skills
   - Competitions? 
   - Create a clearer path to T6 
   - Integrate into other Uni-Activities/Classes (Core-class?) 
   - Ensure market for Filaments + Ships & Modules
   - Structure wiki
   - Chat-lounge with cheat-sheets
   - Migrate info from third party websites to wiki
   - Find a way to troubleshoot individual newbros
   - Reduce heading depth/improve formatting
