Best way to learn PvP in EVE: Get blown up until you stop getting blown up

[jonjoem-walton]

You earned a sub with this video. I've been playing eve since 2006 and I still know very little about PvP however you just described almost everything I've learned in all thoose years in 12mins.

[slayton]

This is the best advice video I have ever seen about EVE: clear, concise and to the point.

[michaelburmeister]

I particularly like the suggestion about experimenting on the test server.

[biomcbane]

You've inspired me to get back into it. I'll follow your tips till I feel confident enough to live in a wormhole like I've wanted.

when i first started playing eve in 2008, i didnt even know what lowsec was at the time and was setup by a mission agent to go into a lowsec system. i docked up in the lowsec station for a quick bio-break and a beverage. i then undocked and noticed a rifter just chilling outside and noticed the bright red symbol on my overview. i really thought nothing of it cause at the time i didnt know what it meant, so i just warped to my mission site. about a few minutes later the flashy rifter warped in on my mission and started attacking me. i was like "what did i do?" as he blew me up. after that he scrammed my pod but wasnt shooting. i then received a private chat request. the guy in the rifter asked if i wanted to join his corp and added if i refused he would have to kill my pod lol.
i ended up joining and he then gave me 100 rifters and access to a corp t1 loot box and told me to kill any player in sight and to work on getting my sec to at-least -5. i lost every one of those frigs, and got a few kills but i just got better and better at piloting and after dying a few time the PvP jitters were gone
there are many corporations out there that are eager to help-teach new players. you just have to show youre willing to learn.

I usually give the newbros in my corp some basic tips, they reject them, lose their ships and learn on their own. Circle of life and shit. Great video btw, I'll put this one up in a corp bulletin for my newbies.

Possibly the single greatest video about how to get PvP skill and experience. Thanks!

There is a guide to Frigates in a pdf file hidden in the Eve install folder, that includes the historical win/lose ratio for that Frigate against each of the other Frigate types.

Watching tutorial videos to learn how to effectively use DSCAN and Probes is essential; there are multiple channels offering tutorials, I personally watch those by AceFace and Dad Dex, as they give detailed info on not only the ship fits, but also the skill levels of the characters piloting them.

Cheers for the special mention for the griffin. It also applies to the falcon ( hides ecmgu under the rug)

We bashed an Athanor with 5 Domis and a Praxis last night. Then 3 domis came out and we released a horde of Vexors and Griffins. They lasted about 15 seconds each.

W-Space is the best

FW is absolutely my favorite aspect of Eve, especially after the Uprising expansion. In Rust We Trust!

[thurguud]

I was doing what you said about flying frigates, only trained skills good for frigate combat at the start. I play minmatar because i like the speed and the control, play frigate because they are fast as fook. Love to feel like darth vader crushing big ships with a small one. The firetail is awesome and relatively cheap, does a hell of a lot of damage and looks ultra cool

[MrIrdatlan]

Apply the lesson Master Roshi taught all of us. Theres Always someone stronger than you

[thenkindler]

Brilliant guide. Thanks for taking the time to upload!

[SirensLament]

i'm a bit disappointed, you say at the start of the video you'll talk about ships, tactics and range control, while teasing stuff like buffer tank vs neuts vs active tank etc - but you never bring it up again :(

[jwilham]

Start small. Get a way to fund the combat. Go out and fight. Helps if you learn from a corp or have friends. Record your fights, and analyze why you won or lost. Learn why or how things happen and learn from every fight. Easy peasy. Factional warfare is a great way to start, and earn money at the same time.

[koilerREC]

i started in 2023 playing and i recommend kiting fits for learning! get speed control the paste!

I think NPC Null-sec space is very underrated and not covered here. Its great as a place for solo to small gang PvP where each pilot counts and as it’s not sov you can base out of any station. It’s great for PvP if you enjoy the mechanics of null and PvP anywhere alongside small social gang PvP. There are lots of people looking for fights and depending on which NPC null you are in, there isn’t usually a massive blob so you can get nice fights were each pilot matters.

Been playing since 2009. Had many people teach me what you just showed here.. 25 deaths 0 kills. Over 46, 000, 000 sp command ship pilot... Imagine that
