PvP FAQs

Some questions do not have answers that are linked to pages in UNIWiki. These frequently asked questions help explain why.

What is the best ship for PVP

The best PvP ship has shield that are 100% effective again all damage types, drones that can warp instantaneously to their targets and deliver a massive punch, weapons that fire tiny little black holes that suck down their targets, no matter how large, and an invisibility cloak that never goes down. But then everyone would have one and EVE combat would be rather futile, would it not?

OK, so there is no perfect combat ship. What you really want to know is, "how do I best spend my ISK to get myself into a ship that I can fly effectively with my current, and soon to be expected, skills?"

How do I fit my <ship class> for PVP

There are two good ways to find information about fitting ships:

• The first is to go look in the UNWiki Eve ship database. Every ship is listed there, with a link to a page that describes the ship in detail. At the bottom of that detail page you will find one or more fits for the ship. Usually these will be labeled in terms of their use … that is, Kiting Solo PVP fit, or Fleet Scouting fit ... although sometimes the names don't mean much and you will have to check out the fit to figure out when to use it.

For example, suppose you have been training to use drones and are thinking about getting a Vexor. The Vexor page gives a summary of the skills you need, and it provides two fleet PvP fits: one shield tanked and one armor tanked.

• A second, and possibly more useful place, especially if you are an experienced fighter, is to ask in one of the E-UNI chat channels. Q&A.E-UNI is especially useful for this kind of question, as there are often E-UNI experts on who are willing to talk at length about fitting ships. The general Chat.E-UNI channel is also good, as are the specific channels for the various campuses. Don't be afraid to ask what seems to be a simple or dumb question - fitting ships well is hard to do, and everyone knows that. Also, everyone loves their favorite fits, and they are usually willing to talk about them.

By the way, there is no perfect fit. As you probably know by now, a ship's equipment interacts tightly with a pilot's skills, experience and psychology. What works best for one may not work well for another. You will find your perfect fit by trying different set-ups and seeing how they work out.
