{{Example|One thing that is always helpful is ship knowledge, by this I mean how different ships are normally fit. For example, you see a {{Ship|Tristan|tooltip}} at a small complex and will know roughly how it should be fit. This type of knowledge comes from experience in the game and from doing your research. After all this is EVE University - what would it be with out a bit of homework. So in your time whilst you're not PVP'ing or earning your isk for PVP, take the time to look up a few ships that you have lost engagements to, and look at how they are usually fit. This will help you understand why you lost the fight and what you could do differently in the future. This would be either not taking the fight in the first place or using a different tactic depending on what you learn from your ''Homework.''}} | {{Example|One thing that is always helpful is ship knowledge, by this I mean how different ships are normally fit.

You now know the best way of getting your POD out of harm's way once your ship has been destroyed. In this section we will cover the '''very''' basics on the aggressive side of the coin. The more detailed descriptions and explanations on all aspects involved in PVP will be either explained later on in this guide or in a link to a wiki that already explains these finer details. | ||

{{Example|''Warp Scramble Strength'' of the module goes hand in hand with the ''Warp Core Strength'' of the target ship.

Ok so with this orbiting your target inside your optimals should be easy right? There are however a couple of ways to do this depending on what ship you are flying and how it is fit. So hopefully after reading the bullet points in the section above, you now understand the difference between a ''Brawling'' fit or a ''Kiting'' fit. | Ok so with this orbiting your target inside your optimals should be easy right?

Now with a ''Brawling'' fit you will want to be tucked in underneath their guns if possible so orbiting at 500M away will do ok, but let me elaborate on this a little bit. If you are fighting another ''Brawling'' fit ship then they will be trying to do the same thing but if your fighting a ''Kiting'' fit, a {{Ship|Imperial Navy Slicer|tooltip}} for example you will have to do things a bit differently. In this situation the only real way ( | Now with a ''Brawling'' fit you will want to be tucked in underneath their guns if possible so orbiting at 500M away will do ok, but let me elaborate on this a little bit.

In this situation the only real way (unless you're really lucky or your target is stupid) you are going to win this fight is if you can apply a Scram and a Web to the target. The reason you need the Scram instead of just a Point is to shut off their Micro Warp Drive and the Web to slow them down to something similar to your speed especially if you are armour fit. | ||
Then the ''Kiting'' fit is flown completely differently to the brawling fit. You need to stay outside of Scram range and just inside your Point range, now if you just orbit your target they could slingshot onto you. They way I like to fly these is alternating between the ''Orbit'' and using the ''Keep At Range'' button. | Then the ''Kiting'' fit is flown completely differently to the brawling fit.

They way I like to fly these is alternating between the ''Orbit'' and using the ''Keep At Range'' button. So that you stay where you need to be.
