Player VS Player Combat

Enclosed within this page I will be trying to cover as much as I possibly can on everything related to PVP from my own experience within EVE including Tip's and Tricks i have learned along the way.

So you have either been mining, missioning, exploring and now you fancy a go a PVP well welcome to what hopefully will be a great read to get you started on your track to that first Kill Mail either your own or someone else's is all part of the fun. Most pilots first experience of PVP is when they accidentally jump into a low sec system and there is a nice little gate camp sitting on the other side and 1 of 2 things happen you either get a massive adrenaline rush and panic start spamming buttons then end up staring at your corpse wondering what just happened. Or you scream as you were in a brand new shiny ship with your training implants in and throw your monitor out the window :-)

Seriously tho the people that start panic'ing and get that adrenaline rush normally once they have calmed down think that was awesome I want to be able to do that and start looking into pvp (Well thats what happened to me any way but that was 6 years ago lol)

So where do you start...................?!!??>>>>>..............

The Initial Stepping Stone

Ok now either the above has happened to you or your just a blood thirsty crazy person who wants to go start blowing everyone up the following section is what I would recommend that you do.

First and foremost the golden rule ONLY FLY A SHIP THAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOOSE Like everything in life the more time, effort and Practice that you put into something the better you will become and remember that you are going to die an awful lot in the begging but this is the best way to learn so a nice cheap ship with cheapish modules on will save your pocket and will ultimately mean that you can spend more time dying ehm... practising in PVP rather than doing the horrendous task of Carebearing to make the isk so you can once again go and get blown up trying for that first Kill.

A Good couple of fits can be found [|HERE] for you to have a look at, so look at your skills determine what frigate your going to jump into low-sec and shout "Kamakazi" with, fit it up appropriately and your on your way to your inevitable death he he he....

I Have This Cheap Suicidal Ship, Now what?

Great your all set up and ready to go and....................... DIE IN A GLORIOUS BALL OF FIRE! So what do you do now?

Now is about the time your thinking of going into Rancer and showing them what your made of well if you do that you may as well be made out of tissue paper because your not quite there yet my friend we still have alot of ground to cover and some of the finer details to cover BUT!!!! That can wait for a minute or two get your ship look on DOTLANfor your closest Low/Null Sec system go and get the "KAMAKAZI" feeling out of your system and once you end up back in that Clone vat bay dripping with that smelly horrible gunk they store these things in (You would think they would look after these better considering the money that they cost :-) ) We will meet back here..

IMPORTANT NOTE Remember to Insure your ship, Make sure your Medical Clone is up to date and that you are in a clean clone before you go :-)

Ok got that all worked out?? Feeling better now your wallet has a few more moths flying out when you go to pay for stuff on the market? Great welcome to the world of PVP lol now lets get back to it.

Living To Fight Another Day

Before we go into the details on how to PEW PEW we need to figure out how we can stay alive. I'm not talking about keeping your ship that's destined to turn into a firework I'm talking about your capsule or POD as it is otherwise known. This is where your "POD SAVER tab on your overview comes in. Hopefully you all have your overview set up to EVE Uni standards if not go [|Here] and get it all set up then come back and you will know what I am trying to explain.

Once you know the game is up and your ship is going to get destroyed you want to be able to get your POD out before who ever is attacking you gets that too (Especially if you have implants) The best way i have found to do this is as follows.

Once you know your dead for me its just as im about to go into structure on my ship, I Instantly click on my POD Saver Tab on my overview which should look similar to this.

Now once you have the pod saver tab up click on one of the planets. If you look like your aligned to one even better. Once you have clicked on a planet on your overview it will be displayed in your selected item window. (This one)

Now Spam click on the WARP TO button and you should instantly warp to your chosen planet as soon as your ship gets destroyed before anyone can even begin to lock onto your POD.
