Minmatar Basic Ship and Skill Overview: Difference between revisions

{{ShipGuideBoilerintro}}

The rookie ship is the first ship you start with. If you are Minmatar, it will be a Reaper. A new rookie ship is given whenever you dock at a station where you do not have any ships.

[[Frigate|Frigates]] are the smallest of the ship classes in EVE. They are used mostly for level 1 missions or for tackling and electronic warfare roles in PvP.

When you begin to fly Minmatar battlecruisers it is a good idea to be training towards a Shield or Armor [[Full T2 Tank]]. (You will need a full T2 tank to fly battlecruisers in wartime PvP, if you're a uni pilot; whether or not you're in the uni, a T2 tank is helpful in PvE.) It is also wise to have basic [[Gunnery Guide#Gunnery_Support_Skills|Gunnery Support skills]] sorted out, and to be training towards T2 light and medium drones.

* It's less complicated to fly than the active armour tanked alternative, and shields' higher explosive resistance comes in useful in missions against the Angel Cartel.

When you step into a battleship it's important to have solid support skills. A [[Full T2 Tank|T2 tank]] is extremely helpful (and required to fly BSs in wartime Uni PvP fleets), while access to T2 light and medium drones will be useful, as they will be your main defence against targets too small for your large weapons.

You can read a detailed description of projectile turret ammunition [[Turrets#Projectile_Ammo|here]]. Minmatar ships have the ability to control the type of damage they deal and therefore target their enemy's weaknesses. In PvE you can look up the damage type your enemy is weak to [[NPC Damage Types#A_brief_Summary_of_NPC_Damage_Types|here]] and select the appropriate ammunition.  

To find out your optimal and falloff ranges with ammo, load ammo in your guns, then right click and show info. The optimal displayed in the attributes will be adjusted for ammo and skills.  

These fittings were made mostly using Tech 1 Meta 0 modules for frigates and cruisers, and meta 4 and Tech 2 for larger ships. In PvP, frigates and cruisers are often not worth fitting expensive modules on for low skill point or inexperienced pilots. Tech 1 Meta 0 modules are provided freely by the university. Once pilots have the skill points, a certain amount of combat experience, and enough ISK to replace bigger ships, they should consider moving to a battlecruiser wit T2 fittings.  

Higher Meta items up to meta 4 will often be easier to fit. Tech 2 is Meta 5, and usually harder to fit. Meta 3 and 4 are expensive, often more expensive than Tech 2. Meta 1 and 2 modules will often be less expensive than Meta 0, due to low demand and high supply on the market.  

Small drones should be used against frigate and destroyer sized enemies, medium drones should be used against cruiser and battlecruiser sized enemies, and heavy drones should be used against battleship sized enemies.  

See [[Drones]] and [[Using Drones]] for more advice on drone selection and deployment.  

Different rat (NPC pirates) factions have different damage type resistances, and deal different damage types.  

All EHP in this guide is from [http://www.eve-ivy.com/wiki/index.php?title=EFT EFT] calculations, not in-game EHP.  

Salvaging boats, most commonly destroyers, are usually used to clean up rooms after missions are complete. To do so, make sure you bookmark one wreck for each room in the mission, since the acceleration gates will disappear after the mission has be turned in at the agent. Once the mission is turned in, the MWD can be used to propel the salvaging boat within tractor range faster.  

For Level 4 missions, many players switch from a destroyer to a Notics because they have bonuses to tractor beams range and salvager cycle time. The Hurricane is still a popular salvaging ship for wormholes because it is fast and agile (for a BC), and can fit a resonable tank, has eight high slots for salvagers and tractor beams and six low slots for expanded cargohold modules (which aren't subject to [[Module Stacking and Speed Modules|stacking penalties]]).
