* ''SOLO PVP'' | * '''''SOLO PVP''''' Every beginner's tutorial on solo PVP says more or less the same thing:"buy yourself a handful of cheap ships, fit them as cheaply as you can, get insurance, make sure your medical clone is located in a convenient system, and then go down to low sec and fly around and wait for someone to attack you. You will lose ships, but you will learn PvP." If you would like to read a bit more about good beginning frigates and fits, look at the [[#solo PVP|solo PVP link]] in this index. You can also go to YouTube and search on "Eve solo PVP" to find some videos. | ||
*''FLEET PVP'' | *'''''FLEET PVP''''' The easiest way to learn fleet PVP is to join an E-UNI beginners fleet and go do it. Two of the fleet roles, [[#tackling|tackling]] and [[#electronic warfare|electronic warfare]], require relatively few skills and can be done by very new players. You can take the E-UNI courses on tackling and EWAR if you wish ... these are offered at regular intervals – check the [[#Calendar_and_Forums|calendar]] for times. This wiki has some guides to [[#Introductions|fleet combat for new players]]. And, you can always just ask about it in chat. Teaching players about fleet combat is one of the main things that EVE University does, it will be easy for you to get started. | ||
*''SHIPS'' | *'''''SHIPS''''' Ships and their fittings are large part of the EVE game. There is no simple easy way to know what is best, but the advice that is usually given to beginners is to start with frigates, learn them thoroughly, and then move on to cruisers, battle cruisers and battleships. The next two FAQs give more information about ships. | ||
*''TACTICS AND TECHNIQUES'' | *'''''TACTICS AND TECHNIQUES''''' Strangely, combat techniques are not discussed very often in this wiki. Perhaps that is because most of them are fairly obvious - target, shoot, repeat. Or perhaps it is because the way you fight has so much to do with your own personality, and the way you have fit out your particular ship. | ||
