Super Simple Salvage Split Solution

  • If dedicated salvager runs during fleet - they get double share for all missions
  • If dedicated salvager stays after fleet is finished - they get double share for all missions
  • If someone runs missions, and then goes salvaging - they get double share for all missions
  • If no dedicated salvager - bookmarks are donated to shared folder, at least 30 minutes before despawn


Evergreen Skill Plan

EvergreenSkillPlan.PNG

Evergreen Skill Plan is my take on skills that you should train in the beginning. Feel free to modify it according to your taste - I find it a bit better than Pyramid Skill Plan - it covers more or less the same skills, but in different order.


My general recommendation is to train Short Skill Plan, then Root skills. After that select your tank type and main weapon system, put both skill lists into queue, and start training from shortest skills - starting from short skills gives you the most gain in short time, and you'll gradually improve tank/weapon skills. You can also include Support skills list into that if you wish - I trained it after T2 tank. Later you can finish with T2 weapon support skills, and add Drones - for majority of ships at BC+ size drones are useful to have.

What these lists do not include, are skills for specific weapons - train them up to lvl III if you need them, to lvl V + Specialization if you really love them and they will become your main weapons. Don't be afraid to test different weapons systems - you might find that you prefer one over another. I also did not include ship skills - train them when you feel like flying different ships :)


Bottom line: If you need some skills to fly a new ship - train them and have fun, don't let this plan limit what you can do!



Root skills are almost the same as pyramid base - these skills are universally useful, I highly recommend training them first. I know that CPU/PG Management V are long trains, but this really opens up your fitting possibilities.

T2 Tank skills - you don't need to train both types of tanks in the beginning. If you focus mainly on one type of tank, feel free to ignore the second one, and train it later. T2 tank skills are very useful - I recommend having them trained when you start flying in BCs.

T2 Shield

T1 Weapon systems - again, at first you do not have to train everything. If you choose one weapon system you like the most, train support skills for that system first. For Launchers and Turrets you also need to add specific skills - I have not included them here, since that depends a lot on your preference and play style.

Support skills. This list might grow, but in my opinion that's minimum of support skills you need - they are useful for all different ships and tasks, and having them will be beneficial.

T2 Wepons support skills - if you have found your favourite weapon system, train specific weapon skill to V, and then specialization - you will be able to use T2 variant of such weapon. Additionally, finish training support skill to lvl V. Below skill list do not contain every support skill - train to V if you wish :)

Rigs and Compensations skills get their own category. Most of them are not useful - for example EX shield amplifiers are almost not used, so it doesn't make sense to train them. If you use rigs from specific category (for example Shield rigs) - train these. The same with Compensation skills - if you use specific module (for example EM shield resistance amplifier is quite common) train only specific skill.

Rigs

Is that plan good? I don't really know. I find split for 2 different tank types and T1/T2 split of weapon systems to be eaiser to manage than pyramid. It's not complete - it does not include every skill (byt the time you are at that point, you should have good feeling what to train) and does not have EWAR/Tackle/Logi skills - by design, as I find their inclusion in basic skill plan for new players to be mistake. These skills are important - but I've seen new players training EWAR, because it's in the pyramid, before training any weapon skills - which is a mistake. If you want to specialize in these roles - Pyramid Skill Plan is your friend.

My mission ships

Lazy Gila

Cheap and easy to fly - for a L4 runner. Manages to run all L4s without big issues - some of them require manual flying, but nothing really bad should happen. Important to note - webs are super dangerous, as it relies heavily on speed tanking.

NOTES
  • Cap stability with AB on is crucial
  • Good Drone skills will improve completion times, but are not strictly necessary.


A bit of breakdown:

High slots: RLMLs - I use T2s, but you can load Arbalests if you don't have skills. On Gila missiles are used only to get frigates down - they have very low DPS compared to drones, so it's not super important. Link Augmentor I, as II will push CPU to dangerous areas.


Med slots: All dedicated to tank. Large Shield Extender IIs would be enough, but Caldari version uses less CPU, which helps. AB chosen to be cap stable - you can use any type, but cap stability is very important - you need to move fast all the time, otherwise you will have a bad day.


Low slots: All DPS. I considered briefly Federation variant, but that's bling for not much gain - in the end I skipped it. Take it if you want it.


Rigs: Unfortunately set of Purgers II is required to tank all L4s. Rather expensive, but take them, do not downgrade to Is


Drones: Sets of T2s - I prefer Vespas over all other types, as they have decent DPS, Kinetic is 'good enough' for missions, and Vespas are shield tanked - they survive almost anything.


Cargo: Same story - Kinetic is good enough, and carrying 4 types of missiles is cumbersome. Or I'm too lazy for it :P I usually use normal missiles or Furies, auto-targeting might be useful when damped/jammed - that rarely happens.


Other Notes: Fit is over CPU - I need EE-603 for it. If you want to avoid having implant, then Arbalests are required. Fit is perfectly fine with Navy Drones, and you can even Meta-down shield modules - but I would recommend taking Damage Control II in low slot. Overall if tank is not compromised, you will be fine in all missions - maybe slower with such changes. I tested all L4s with shield skills on IV - so max skills are not needed by any means.

That's a completely different beast. Active tank, to get 2 utility med slots, Heavy Missiles for more DPS, and bling all over the place, to make it fit on CPU. It also assumes you have at least Med-grade Hydra set (and High-grade being better) to fix application of missiles and drones and heavy missile hardwirings. It can spit out 916 DPS with Hammerheads and Fury missiles, has adequate tank and looks great in black SKIN. Costs 6 Billions together with implants, so be careful :P I do not recommend that ship, unless you obey rule 0 (Fly what you can afford to lose), and losing 2B ship and 4B pod is not a big deal for you.

For cheaper option (probably more reasonable too) swap Heavy Missiles to RLMLs - then you can take 3x DDA II in low slots, Drone Link Augmentor II in high slot, and replace sensor booster with Omni Tracking link - that way Hydras are not needed, and it uses up 99.37% of available CPU, which works ok. Also take T2 drones, not Augs. That lowers the price to 750-ish M, and DPS to 760.

Halsky's PvE fitting guide

Preface: I'm terrible writer, and also not the best ship-fitter there is. But I've seen my share of bad fits, which were obviously wrong - so I decided to make short guide of how I do PvE fits, in hope that it will help someone. There are other fitting guides which might be better - check all sources, and run your fit through other people - you will make mistakes, and there's nothing wrong in it.


Table of contents:
What you need?
Fit purpose
Ship selection
Order of importance
Tank
Weapons
DPS & Utility
Meta and Bling

Bad Wiki page: https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/High_slot

What you need?

1. Patience trained to lvl 5 - making fits is easy, making good fits takes a lot of practice
2. Pyfa - absolutely crucial. Fitting window in game is terrible, making new fit there is not fun at all
3. General knowledge what modules are in game. I will try to explain a bit, and link relevant Wiki pages, but the more you know = the less you have to check


Fit purpose

Before making any fit, you need to know what you will need it for. The same ship will be fitted completely different for PvE and PvP - and using even good fit, but for wrong purpose, will make it much worse.
What I can explain here, are PvE only fits - mission running in HiSec. That's very small part of Eve, but most players start here, and everyone has their preferences regarding ship - I thought it makes sense to babble about fitting in that narrow context.


Ship selection

Starting from this section, I will include example for each step - so you can follow along.
That's the first step in making a fit - choose what you want to fly today :) Take a look at Wiki page, and read it - it's worth knowing what are exact stats of that ship. Important things to notice:

  • Ship bonuses - that section usually tells you what is the purpose if the ship, what weapon you should use, and sometimes what tank works best on it
  • HP amount - for Structure, Armor and Shield. If ship is not directly bonused to specific tank, HP amount is good indicator
  • Slot layout - especially for High slots - how much space do we have
  • Summary - sometimes very good info is written there, with hints regarding ship uses/fits


Example
To keep things simple for you, and interesting for me I'll pick a ship I never fitted or flown before - Cyclone.

What do we know about it from Wiki?

  • Bonuses to Heavy (Assault) Missiles - that will be our main weapon
  • Bonuses to Shield Boost amount, and highest HP in Shield - that will be our tank
  • 7 High slots, with 5 launcher hardpoints and 2 turret hardpoints - we could use 5 launchers + 2 turrets, or 5 launchers + 2 utility highs - we'll see about that
  • 5 Medium slots - this will allow us to build decent tank, but not much space for utilities
  • 5 Low slots - very good news for shield tanked ship, as it allows us to fit DPS modules + some tank/engineering stuff

Order of importance

My approach for fitting PvE ships in general follows this order of importance:

  • Tank
  • Weapons
  • Utilities
  • Everything else

Why? PvE engagements are 'long', drawn in time - you spend several minutes shooting and being shot at by rats. If you can safely tank the encounter, then you will succeed (at least in missions) - increasing DPS/application will shorten time spent, which in turn means more ISK/h - but if you die, no amount of DPS will save you :) Wespons are important, as you want to shoot rats back - otherwise you will just float in space being angry at them. Utilities serve the sole purpose of making your weapons better - improving application any way possible, to increase your 'effective' DPS. There's not much besides that for PvE ships.
