This is EVE University's Newbie Doctrine, a repertoire of ships that new pilots can use in any PvP fleet.

The Newbie Doctrine program gives free, fully-fitted ships to new members of EVE University. Send Julian Celador an EVE-mail asking for a Newbie Doctrine ship, accept the contract, and try fleet PvP for free! Your new ship will be conveniently located near the Low-Sec Campus, in the system where many EVE University fleets are formed. The best way to learn PvP is by trying it! Let's die gloriously together!

If your screen goes white and you see yourself floating in space, don’t worry. You’re safe. They can’t hurt you any more.

You are encouraged to discuss improvements to the Newbie Doctrine on the talk page. Please do not edit the fittings on this page without permission from Julian Celador.

Pre-Fleet Checklist

Main article: The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops

1. Join a Fleet
   Check the in-game calendar to see when upcoming fleets are scheduled. You can join fleets by navigating in the Neocom: E in top-left corner of screen > Social > Fleet. You can also attend a Fleets 101 course, typically held once a month.
   
   
2. Join the Fleet's Mumble Channel
   Fleet Commanders use Mumble to communicate important information. You are encouraged to ask questions in Mumble before and during a fleet operation.
   
   
3. Prepare to be Podded
   If you have implants, either make sure you can afford to lose them or get into a jump clone. While you should always be prepared to be podded, this should rarely occur in high-sec or low-sec battles. Be sure you are familiar with the "Pod Saver" tab on your overview.
   
   
4. Choose Your Role
   The primary roles in a fleet are:
   1. Tackler
      New pilots can fly tackling ships without any skill training!
   2. Electronic Warfare (EWAR)
      New pilots can fly EWAR ships without any skill training!
   3. Damage Dealer (DD)
   4. Logistics (logi)
      
      
5. Fly what you can afford to lose.
   This is often cited as the first rule of EVE Online. All of the ships in the Newbie Doctrine are designed with this principle in mind. As pilots improve their skills (and can afford to lose better ships), they are encouraged to reference the more advanced fittings within EVE University's Fleet-Up group.
   
   
6. Insure Your Ship
   All the ships in the Newbie Doctrine are worth insuring. Members of EVE University can obtain additional reimbursement for lost ships through the the Ship Replacement Program (SRP).
   
   
7. Rename Your Ship
   The default ship name is "<Player's Name> <Ship Name>". This will make it much easier for enemies to identify and locate you using D-Scan. Rename your ship to something that cannot be associated with your name or EVE University.
   
   

Tackle, Ensnaring Foes

Main article: Tackling Guide

Tacklers use Warp Disruptors, Warp Scramblers, and Stasis Webifiers to ensnare a target enemy, preventing them from warping away during a fight. Tacklers play a crucial role in any fleet, enabling Damage Dealers to take down trapped enemies. Fleet Commanders can never have too many tacklers and are always excited to help new players swarm targets. Tackling frigates can also be used by Scouts. Try flying one of these beginner tackling frigates during your next fleet operation!

A Derptron operator will only have to push three buttons to be effective: the "Go Fast" button, the "Catch the Other Guy" button, and then the "Shoot" button.

Customizing Your Tackle Fitting

It is a rewarding experience for players to design their first ship. When you feel ready to customize your fitting, read the The Way of the Tackler guide and create your own tackle fitting. Maybe your fitting will be added to the Newbie Doctrine some day! The third-party EVE Fitting Tool is tremendously helpful.

Examples:

T1 Modules -> T2 Modules

Standard Ammo -> Faction Ammo
