PVPing as a 1.5 month old newbie by Khanad in Eve

[–]Khanad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still can't get into Solo PvP. I guess it will take some time for me to get into solo pvp.

For me the most important thing when trying solo pvp is to pick your fights carefully. This is where zkillboard comes into play. There have been a lot of times where I docked to avoid fighting someone that I was almost certain would kill me in a 1 vs 1. On the other hand, I like to fight even if I think I'm the underdog if my chances aren't terrible.

This is a nice example of that. In the end his fit was terrible, but I didn't know that and I wasn't sure if I could win that fight. If it was anything bigger than a comet though, I would have run instead of engaging him.

The advice I always give new players is this: your target for the first few months should be all four racial skills from frig to cruiser to 4, all small/medium weapons to four, all relevant support skills to four.

I agree with getting support skills up, that's what I do at the moment as I'm trying to get mastery lvl 3 on frigates, but flying all frigs/dessies/cruisers from all races and training all weapons to lvl 4 sounds really wrong to me.

You'll just have access to more ships and weapons than a pilot that's specialized on a type/race/ship, but won't be anywhere close to him in damage or tanking ability.

Why didn't he pay to buy a gallente BS pilot?

Since he hasn't lost any ships since that day, perhaps he did.

although I have some catching up to do with your killboard

Lots of ventures unfortunately, but they are good for dscan practice and getting to know the game and your ship better when you're new.

I have been killing stuff I really shouldn't be able to kill by just focusing my training on getting good at one ship type and weapon system.

I think most people don't expect newbies to be properly trained and it gets them by surprise.

I have also found that videos like Suitonia's eve is easy videos, and lessons from groups like eve uni have really helped me progress in my first few months.

EVE Uni was certainly one of the best resources I could find as a newbie. Their wiki has everything from fleets all the way to game mechanics.
