Archive:Newbie Doctrine
The Newbie Doctrine is a repertoire of ships that empowers new pilots to make valuable contributions to a PvP fleet without any skill training. Fleet Commanders can use the Newbie Doctrine as an add-on to their doctrines, encouraging new pilots to participate in PvP fleet operations.
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.
Fleet Commanders can request Newbie Doctrine ships for scheduled EVE University fleet operations. Send Julian Celador an EVE-mail with the form-up time and location of your fleet, and he will put up free corporation contracts with the ships and send you a personal thank you for mentoring newbies.
The best way to learn PvP is by trying it! Let's die gloriously together!

Pre-Fleet Checklist
- Main article: The Rookie's Guide To Fleet Ops
- 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. - 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. - 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. - Choose Your Role
The primary roles in a fleet are: - 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. The frigates within the Low-Sec Campus Reshipping Doctrine are a good starting point within Fleet-Up. - Insure Your Ship
Ships should (almost) always be insured before fleet operations. Members of EVE University can obtain additional reimbursement for lost ships through the the Ship Replacement Program (SRP). - 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 destroy 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.
