The blunt answer to the question "''how do I learn about PVP in EVE''" is "go do it" - learn by experience. But here are some hints and suggestions about how to get started and where to look. | The blunt answer to the question "''how do I learn about PVP in EVE''" is "go do it" - learn by experience.

* '''''SOLO PVP''''' Every beginner's tutorial on solo PVP says more or less the same thing ... "buy yourself a handful of cheap ships, fit them as cheaply as you can, get insurance, make sure your medical clone is located in a convenient system, and then go down to low sec and fly around and wait for someone to attack you. You will lose ships, but you will learn PvP."

You can also go to YouTube and search on "Eve solo PVP" to find some videos. | ||
*'''''FLEET PVP''''' The easiest way to learn fleet PVP is to join an E-UNI beginners fleet and go do it. Two of the fleet roles, [[#tackling|tackling]] and [[#electronic warfare|electronic warfare]], require relatively few skills and can be done by very new players. You can take the E-UNI courses on tackling and EWAR if you wish ... these are offered at regular intervals – check the [[#Calendar_and_Forums|calendar]] for times. This wiki has some guides to [[#Introductions|fleet combat for new players]]. And, you can always just ask about it in chat. Teaching players about fleet combat is one of the main things that EVE University does, it will be easy for you to get started. | *'''''FLEET PVP''''' The easiest way to learn fleet PVP is to join an [[#How do I join a PVP fleet|E-UNI beginners fleet]] and go do it.

*'''''SHIPS''''' Ships and their fittings are large part of the EVE game. There is no simple easy way to know what is best, but the advice that is usually given to beginners is to start with frigates, learn them thoroughly, and then move on to cruisers, battle cruisers and battleships. The two FAQs that follow this one have more to say about ships. | *'''''SHIPS''''' Ships and their fittings are large part of the EVE game.

*'''''TACTICS AND TECHNIQUES''''' Strangely, combat techniques are not discussed very often in this wiki. Perhaps that is because most of them are fairly obvious - target, shoot, repeat. Or perhaps it is because the way you fight has so much to do with your own personality, and the way you have fit out your particular ship. The best advice is probably "get some practice in, and then ask your questions in chat or one of the forums." The odds are good that you will find someone who has been in your situation and is willing to discuss it with you | *'''''TACTICS AND TECHNIQUES''''' Strangely, combat techniques are not discussed very often in this wiki.
