Minmatar Basic Ship and Skill Overview: Difference between revisions

Additional fittings can be found by entering the fitting menu and browsing 'Corporation Fittings'.  

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.

[[Destroyer|Destroyers]] are slightly larger and have more highslots than frigates but fit the same small-sized weapons. They're designed to slaughter frigates but be vulnerable to most other ships. They are often used in PvE for Level 1 missions, and as salvage ships.  

Flying destroyers is not recommended for PvP Uni fleets. There are some exceptions, such as specialized hit & run fleets.

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.

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.  

The Eve University ship loadout forums should be the first place for new players to look for fits and ask for advice. The Uni forum is restricted to Eve University members and alumni.
