A number of groups in New Eden host publicly-accessible PvP fleets which fly on a "not purple, shoot it" basis ("NPSI"), that is, set out to engage any target they can find which isn't part of the fleet. [[EVE University]] members are welcome to fly in such fleets, subject to the considerations listed at the bottom of this page. | |||
This is a list of several groups who periodically host NPSI PvP fleets. | |||
As at | |||
== Bombers Bar == | |||
As at 2022, the [https://www.bombersbar.org/ Bombers Bar] (BB) is in full swing. There are a number of people in specific corps that devote a lot of their game time to leading and supporting BB. | |||
BB flies public [[Stealth_Bombers|Stealth Bomber]] fleets in which all are welcome. There is minimal/no politics and the fleet flies NPSI (Not Purple Shoot It aka anything outside of fleet can be shot). Some fleets include more than 100 attendees so it often creates some ethical issues if the fleet goes into allied space of one or more fleet members and the individual needs to decide whether they can engage allies/friendlies/blues. | BB flies public [[Stealth_Bombers|Stealth Bomber]] fleets in which all are welcome.

BB is often an excellent opportunity to build killboard stats - to get involved in small or large-scale kills but also to build knowledge and skills which contribute to Eve Uni titles. It is also a chance to operate in a larger scale fleets and enthusiastic capsuleers. | BB is often an excellent opportunity to build killboard stats - to get involved in small or large-scale kills but also to build knowledge and skills which contribute to Eve Uni titles.

== Spectre Fleet == | |||
[https://www.spectre-fleet.space/ Spectre Fleet] (SF) is a public NPSI fleet (Not Purple Shoot It - meaning anyone not in the fleet is a potential target). The previous link to the Specter Fleet calendar identifies the time/date for upcoming fleets and provides links to the appropriate additional information as needed for each fleet. Many of those resources are in-game via the Specter Fleet chat channels where the MOTD will guide prospective pilots to the right places. | [https://www.spectre-fleet.space/ Spectre Fleet] (SF) is a public NPSI fleet (Not Purple Shoot It - meaning anyone not in the fleet is a potential target).

Details on upcoming SF fleets, fittings, fleet instructions and joining comms can be found in the in-game channel (join 'SF Spectre Fleet'). As with BB, carefully check the doctrine/fittings and the staging system to ensure that you are there on time in the right ship (and not being 10-20 jumps away as the fleet starts moving). | Details on upcoming SF fleets, fittings, fleet instructions and joining comms can be found in the in-game channel (join 'SF Spectre Fleet').

== Vulfpeck Fleets == | |||
[https://vulfpeck.space/ Vulfpeck Fleets] is a group PvE fleet organization that operates small fleets in C5 and C6 [[Wormhole_space#Wolf_Rayet|Wolf-Rayet]] Wormhole systems, taking advantage of the Wolf-Rayet system effects to take on the highly dangerous Sleeper combat sites using [[Confessor]]s and [[Guardian]]s. Due to the unpredictable nature of Wormhole space, Vulfpeck tends to only run one 11-pilot, 4-hour fleet per week, however those fleets can reach 200 million ISK/hr/pilot, using surprisingly inexpensive ships. | [https://vulfpeck.space/ Vulfpeck Fleets] is a group PvE fleet organization that operates small fleets in C5 and C6 [[Wormhole_space#Wolf_Rayet|Wolf-Rayet]] Wormhole systems, taking advantage of the Wolf-Rayet system effects to take on the highly dangerous Sleeper combat sites using [[Confessor]]s and [[Guardian]]s.

On rare occasion, due to the dangerous nature of wormhole space, Vulfpeck fleets may engage in PVP as well. Vulfpeck does offer SRP in situations where combat goes poorly. | On rare occasion, due to the dangerous nature of wormhole space, Vulfpeck fleets may engage in PVP as well.

Prior to the Triglavian Invasion, ARC made a name for themselves as being one of the only organizations in New Eden to host periodic Drifter Hive Fleets, in which groups of ships fly into Drifter-occupied Unidentified Wormholes and attack their inhabitants head-on. These fleets are still held periodically, using mainly [[Confessor]]s. | Prior to the Triglavian Invasion, ARC made a name for themselves as being one of the only organizations in New Eden to host periodic Drifter Hive Fleets, in which groups of ships fly into Drifter-occupied Unidentified Wormholes and attack their inhabitants head-on.

== Considerations == | |||
Remember the [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/EVE_University_Rules EVE University Rules], including restrictions on attacking structures and involvement in any wars or pseudo wars. If in doubt, err on the side of caution so that all of our unistas don't inadvertently become war targets outside our rules. | Remember the [https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/EVE_University_Rules EVE University Rules], including restrictions on attacking structures and involvement in any wars or pseudo wars. If in doubt, err on the side of caution so that all of our unistas don't inadvertently become war targets outside our rules. | ||
Although the fleets are NPSI, it is still very important to follow the rules and minimise engagement with our friends and allies (+5 to +10 blue status with Eve Uni or Ivy League). NPSI fleets are generally quite aware and supportive of fleet members not engaging their allies. In short, Unistas and Unista alts should not shoot Unistas (unless permission is given). | |||
