Yes it's coming back, Red Versus Blue.
A couple of years ago over on SHC, a guy called Tron said, ôwouldn't it be great if there was corps at war in empire you could just join and pew pew in anytime you wanted?ö, I said ôYesö, RvB was born.
This was before Faction Warfare existed, in the aftermath of the Alliance P nerf with a lot of bored people wanting a simple conflict to engage in without POS, politics and alliances.
We had a great amount of fun but the project fizzled out through lack of leadership, I've thought many times this last couple of years about bringing it back, I happened to mention this recently and the support has been overwhelming, so, with lessons learned from last time we're coming back, bigger and better.
FAQ Below.
TL:DR
Free for all empire war pew pew everyone welcome.

Red Versus Blue FAQ
So what exactly is RvB?
Two corps permanently at war in empire, free for anyone to join either side and fight. Noob alts welcome although you'll have more fun with your main.
Can my corp join?
No, one of the lessons learned from last time is that making alliances was a mistake, it made balancing the sides extremely difficult and we lost a lot of team spirit on each side.
What rules are there?
There are no combat rules, while we'd encourage people to fly frig and cruiser hulls anything is allowed. The only definate rule is that while purple is active RvB fighting ceases.
What the hell is purple?
Red and Blue combined of course, we expect to be war decced by other entities in Eve, we fight them together as purple. Also we can for variation go fight other people in 0.0 or low sec as purple for fun, it's just about fighting.
So is this arena or tournament PvP?
No, it's normal PvP in Eve, just with a ready, willing and close supply of enemies wanting to fight without the politics and bull.
Is podding allowed?
Yes, while personally I think it's slightly against the spirit of what we're doing to pod people there are no rules against it, if you can scram it, kill it if you wish.
Where will it be based?
In high sec empire, exact location TBA.
When will it begin?
The war will be live on 30th September.
When can I join?
Details will be released of the corps to join tommorrow, 9 days before the war goes live so plenty of time to prepare.
What is the criteria for joining?
All you need is the ability to apply, anyone is welcome although if one side is overloaded with pilots we may tell you to join the other side.
Does it cost anything to join?
No
You're trying to turn Eve into WoW, this sucks, you suck, rage, rage, blah, blah.
Gdiaf
What are you doing this time to correct the mistakes of last time?
Sticking to one location, not creating alliances that caused more problems than it solved, putting together a proper leadership team rather than trying to do it all alone, never using Talans safespots.
Isn't this like faction warfare?
Well kind of yes, we created RvB before faction warfare existed last time, but it is a simpler format, just permanent empire war against a close, ready and willing enemy.
Will fighting be restricted to one area?
No, while there will be an obvious area where the action will be fights can happen anywhere.
So what actually happened last time?
Loads of pew pew, we had over 2500 kills in our first 8 weeks and not just cheap crap either, loads of T2 ships and BS died, lots of faction fit stuff flying about and dying and I remember a 10 billion ISK officer fit Rattler dying.
So why did it stop?
FW was coming, I took on another project in Eve and RvB fizzled out, this time I hope to have a good leadership team in place to keep the momentum up, I want RvB to be a project anyone can join/leave at any time for some pew pew and anyone includes me.
Who are you and why are you doing this?
I like to blow stuff up, I've been in some fine PvP outfits over the last 5 years, albeit some briefly, TRI, MC and AAA were all top outfits who were great to fly with but the most fun for me was Privateers, undock, shoot, die, nothing serious, just fun. It was great fun last time and I hope it will be the same again, no it won't be as fun as Pew Pew Palooza was of course but still it was a blast. So in summary, fun.
Isn't this fake PvP?
Well, the conflict has been created but the PvP and everything that goes on is pretty much normal real, the fights are real, the losses are real, the emoragequits are real.

Sounds like fun actually. Empire pvp where you have targets everywhere is more fun than the giant faction warfare blobs.
Eve used to be like this in the beginning, with pirates next door. I always loved that.
So if this turns out to be random frig pilots flying around on their own or in small gangs, it should be a lot of fun.

Originally by: Ninja Troll OP...How do you plan on handling neutral RR?
Same as before and same as always, if it goes red shoot at it. It won't be going on within the project, it will of course with the 3rd party decs that are bound to come, so be it. For us it's about the fights moreso than winning, the winners are those involved in the fights regardless of outcome, the losers are those that don't undock through fear of defeat.

Great to see this back and a viable alternative to faction warfare for those who don't want to be harrased by faction navys in the enemys territory. Might have to transfer an alt I had made for rvb back into it as he now actually has the sp to do moar than die horribly in a lolsp arbi.

More importantly, who cares? It's pvp for the sake of pvp. Purely for fun and with no greater consequence than a few pixels blowing up. If someone really wants to take the time and effort to 'spy' then have at it.
I'll be putting an alt into this and I expect some great fights

Yeah, and i don't blame you. It should be fun. My feelings about spies really apply to the game in general, and how everyone is so damned sneaky. Since it happens often in other cases you can guarantee it'll happen there, and it's not quite so inconceivable.

Bumping to keep it on the 1st page. This is the real thing folks, and a viable alternative to FW(or anything really) if you just want to undock and shoot stuff!
Some *Very* good PVPers joining with their mains or alts and there will be room for low sp chars and genuine newbies as well. (It will most likely end up being a very nice crash course in pewpew for some newer players tbh, at least the 1st iteration was one for me :P )

Originally by: Tolrok Qorte Will there be many small sized fights or is this usually battleship standoffs?
Everything from solo in your punisher, to rifter gangs, to Medium/Large gangs at prime times. Even if you only fly cruisers and smaller you'll be able to participate in all the fights, in fact, that's the most economical way to go about RvB.
Originally by: bloodlust priest i want a place where i can fly cheap **** solo without ppl hassling me, is this the place?
Yes, most definitely. Many people who specifically want to solo join RvB for this reason, and that's why you'll get more people roaming solo. Moving away from the main battle locations a bit, and flying at quieter times will also ensure getting more solo fights. |

Originally by: "Plave Okice" UPDATE
Ok, I think we've done it the right way round this time, generating enough interest and pilots to get going with a bang rather than the open up then see what happens attitude of last time.
However, with the applications outstanding and the pilots dropping roles now we have 50 people in now, we'll have 70 people in by tonight, looks like well over 100 by the weekend!
10 days was quite a wait, so after much discussion and me being outvoted we are accelerating the procress, the war will be starting this Saturday the 26th!
Also nice to see we have a much higher ratio of mains to alts than last time as well.

I've heard good things about this from people that were involved with the first iteration.
I've been considering going back to flashy since FW is still a steaming turd . . . but now I'm thinking that this looks like a fantastic next step.
Methinks I'll start raising my sec status a bit so I can hit all areas of empire.
Good luck to you gents, and I hope to see you soon.

Ah awesome! I just moved to null sec a few days ago and although it's really fun out there, I would love to get some pvp action.
Are you going to stop accepting people as the war start?
Are you going to try to keep both teams balanced? It seems quite a few people like Red.
Will this turn into another blob fest? 5-10 ship gangs are still acceptable but anything of greater number isn't going to be any different than FW.
How exactly are you going to be forming purple? If someone war decs blue, will red wardec the enemy so they have kill rights? I've never been in a war, do war targets flash a different colour? Will be hard to keep from shooting your "allies" and making fleets.

Originally by: Nifter Telfo

No. Also, people are free to drop corp and rejoin as they please, if they need to mission or mine to sustain their war effort.

Us Reds are a vocal bunch of ****s :p last night the corps were even at 31 each. Usually, if one side outguns the other, the outgunning side will get into smaller ships to get a fight. If the one corp does outgrow the other substantially, some ballancing might take place, possibly by asking for some volunteers to jump corp.
Quote: Will this turn into another blob fest? 5-10 ship gangs are still acceptable but anything of greater number isn't going to be any different than FW.
At peak times, gangs might approach say 12-20 per side (rough guestimate) most of the time gangs should be substantially smaller, with lots of opportunities for going solo, especially away from the main battle area.

Real good fun and I'm glad that it's now back to the corporaton side of things to make things easier, if you're a pilot wanting to see what pvp is all about without wanting to get bogged down in factional warfare requirements, you could do worse than to join up with this lot of crazy people and find out, don't fly what you can't afford to fit and don't fly your blueprint collection in a frigate solo while in either corp as you will be found, and possibly destroyed.
I took EXP-L in to RvB when it was at the alliance and although fun because it was splintered up we felt we diidn't engage as we should have done, that said it's down to both parties of course, but being in the same corp will make it a LOT easier.
One more thing - if you two could bash your heads together and come up with certain scenarious for engagements it would mean: i. Clear victory conditions - for the operation duration of course ii. Everyone will know where to be iii. A better tactical enjoyment, the best executed plan will win the day. iv. While it could be called pvp in a dungeon, the actual main element doesn't have to be shared with the opposing team as such.
Example - Blue has to complete x number of level 4 missions within a 24 hour period. Red has to prevent this from occuring.
Set your locations agents to kill and your scanners to stun!
That's just one example and it may provide interesting tactical errors and what not, who knows it's worth a story right, and the story of RvB COULD be as big as as the PvP.
Anyway, good luck with this new format, story posts I hope will follow shortly.

This is exactly what I've always been looking for in EVE.
You have lots of targets and lots of friends ready to help you engage them. The majority of the time was spent in frigate battles. A few people bring cruisers/destroyers to the fights and even a few battle cruisers, however they're just masochistic and enjoy being primary.
Quite a few of the fights are in the 5-10 vs 5-10 range. Sometimes one side gets too big (15-20) and the other side jumps to the station to hide and gather up some forces. This usually ends in a battle at the station or a split of the fleet into 2 smaller fleets.
The station battle occurs when one side decides to come to the enemy station, and everyone on the other team calls in reinforcements and they all strike out. After that the teams break up quite a bit as not everyone has ships at the bases, and sometimes has to fly out to a market hub to grab supplies.
After a station battle or two, myself and a few other frigate pilots got together and scouted out a few enemy frigate pilots sitting at gates. Those small frig vs frig skirmishes were truly the highlights. I almost got a solo kill one time except I lost track of my cap and lost the scram. I consider that one a win in my favour regardless.
As a newbie I've lost around 7 frigates and a cruiser already (Stupid overview! How'd that frig get in scram range from 100km away?). I'd trade those few million for this much knowledge any day. The experienced FCs teach you very helpful tactics and I've even had the chance to lead a few people to their deaths.
Very fun and very exciting. I don't understand why EVE doesn't have this kind of small scale warfare built right in. I just wish my friend could come and join, blue needs some exequror remote repair pilots.

I have a few questions.
!1) rules? podding?
2) are crusers/bc looked down upon? I got some mney to blow, and I was wanting to try out new ideas and fits and se how they work.
3)Are there things that I just should not do? I am here to have fun and blow some ships up, I dont want to pod anyone, and I dont want to trash talk the other side, but I can give as good as I get, if it comes to it.
4) this seems like it would be a good way to get PvP seat time and a few kill mails.
5) I got a vexor, that I think will be a very, unique fit, but I would rathr not loose the ship w/o having a few times to tweak it. Can I arrange a couple duals wiht some corp mates please?
Thanks.

1. No ECM ***gotry like bringing a falcon to a fight. Podding is ok if you want.
2. Fly whatever size of ship you want, but being a bad sport and bringing a BS to fight a couple frigs will probably result in smack against you.
3. Don't be an ******* basically.
4. Yes.
5. I'm sure someone would be willing to help you out.

1) rules? podding? Podding is allowed but highly discouraged. The more you pod people, the sooner they will run out of ISK and have to drop out, meaning less fun fights for you. Don't bring a whole lot of ECM with gang. A bit is OK but having a lot of ECM will not give you good fights.
2) are crusers/bc looked down upon? I got some mney to blow, and I was wanting to try out new ideas and fits and se how they work. There are a lot of people pvping in T1 frigates and destroyers.
3)Are there things that I just should not do? I am here to have fun and blow some ships up, I dont want to pod anyone, and I dont want to trash talk the other side, but I can give as good as I get, if it comes to it. Pretty much just pvp, see pretty explosions, challenge people from opposite side to 1v1's. Smacktalk is allowed but sounds damn silly to the rest of us.
4) this seems like it would be a good way to get PvP seat time and a few kill mails. Yes it is a good way to build kill history for your character so that when you are applying to quality pvp corps and they ask you for your killboard you'll have something to show them.
5) I got a vexor, that I think will be a very, unique fit, but I would rathr not loose the ship w/o having a few times to tweak it. Can I arrange a couple duals wiht some corp mates please? Yes, not problem.

Also, will there be any action for people operating in +8 EVE Time? It would be a shame to never catch anyone online during US off-peak hours. In line with that, which "color" is more favorable to such a timezone?

We're waiting for the dust to settle after our opening weekend, at the moment Blue dominates Red in US TZ but there's plenty around.

Its also perfect if your new to PVP and you want to start learning the ropes. The groups consist of complete novices like myself up to highly experienced pilots, all mixed in. There is no noob filtering like you may get in FW. As long as you have the right attitude you'll have a lot of fun. The forums and chat is also full of good advice if you need it. Smack talk consists of insulting teapots which is serious bzns.

in 3 hours I hope I can join, if I dnt have to leave the house.
So, basicly any ship I ant to fly, but I get the feeling that any thing bigger than a cruser is gonna make me look like a D-B?
Guess Ill leave that BC in the bay, and build a few more crusers and some destroyers, Frigs are not really my bag, but i got a few of them ready.
Thanks for the advice

Funny - after banging our heads against the wall for the last 2 months, we came up with virtually the same concept (even the same name!!)
I was all for it until "pod killing is allowed".
There are many, many corps recruiting for players in the 10mil+ sp levels. I would like to see something for the new players - 10mil OR LESS sp, and no pod killing.
I am trying to have fun while I train. Losing implants at this moment is counterproductive to that.
Maybe we could do a Red under 10 vs. Blue under 10? Where you guys with the uber sp could be "big brother" that protects us little guys (under 10mil) from the wardec'ers. If there's interest, I would be willing to contribute time and effort to make it work.

while its allowed, its barely been done in the past day or so - most people in RVB are actively against podding - unless you are a docking *** :) -------

It's allowed but 'discouraged.' I personally haven't seen anyone get podkilled yet.

Being an ass hat is allowed but it won't make you any friends. Just because something is allowed it does not mean it happens or is something accepted as normal. Its also easy to avoid being podded anyway if you know how to (just spam click warp on any object as you see your ship go down) Anyway I have a clone I use with +3 implants, they are dirt cheap. My main clone I will use for mission running or whatever. But despite losing many ships I have never had my clone targeted once. Yesterday several hundred ships were destroyed with a few pods, all of which were commented on.
The whole point about RvB though is the lack of rules but relying on players good sense to make it fun. If its not fun players are welcome to leave at any time (and rejoin at any time for that matter)

podkilling is allowed by game mechanics but it is frowned upon.
also i have to say i had a TON of fun flying a 1mil sp alt in a sh*t-fit cruiser. for the most part both sides are fair and blobbing or bring hugely overpowered gangs just doesnt happen. leadership of both sides talk, and if one gang is too powerful they downgrade to allow a fun fight. in other words there's a fight going almost all the fcking time. aka its awesome.
lots of friendly people. lots of good FCs. and its all in good lighthearted fun. awesome stuff..

'if' is not an assumption is it? Its a conditional term. I would use the wording 'as' if I wanted to assert something. I don't think I'm the one assuming here.

What's this ECM discouragement? Will you all be "discouraging" nuets/NoS next? Painters and disrupters?
I thought only podding was discouraged. ECM has counters.
If someone brings a Falcon to the fight, so be it. It is an expensive ship to lose. If they wanna risk it, I say go for it.

Though, how will you pick out experienced low sp alts from the equation? Looking for an even playing field is all fine and dandy but player skill factors in so much more than SP...
About ECM, I do agree with the *guideline* that use of ECM is discouraged, as even in it's current state it's one of the least "fun" mechanics in EVE and RvB is all about having fun so it makes sense. Yeah, neuts can be nasty and a gank thorax can be nasty too but w/e.

There will be no sp restrictions, we try and make as normal eve pvp as possible. There is no benefit to us in restricting membership and it's unrealstic. If you want to do a similar low sp version got for it but we've done this before and the format works, we're just putting more effort into managing it this time.
Podding is allowed, Falcons are allowed.
Most people don't pod because in the context of what we're doing it's pointless. Falcons can be fight winners, they're also fight spoilers and can ruin what otherwise would be an awesome and fun 4v4 say.
They're still allowed though, they'll just be dieing very quickly.

This character is a 2009 character with 12 mil SP (nearly 5 mil in learning skills). So thats about 7 mil SP and I'm managing fine as a low SP character with a fair amount of kills. You just need the desire, attitude and ability to learn while getting your butt handed to you a bit.
Podding is discouraged, and often if team mates lock up on pods, we'll ask them not to kill. I don't like it, but there are no rules on it for a reason. Doing stupid things escalates stupid engagements and the community will police itself. Besides, its real easy to avoid poddings in empire (esp as our fights have been for the most part very lag free). We are over 800 kills with less than 20 poddings between the two sides, so please don't let that be a deciding factor in joining up. Hell, if its that much a worry, I'll even throw in for some implants for newer players if they get popped.

There is a substantial number of low SP alts in this, some without any PVP skills at all past being able to fly a Rifter. Many of us only started to train gunnery a few days ago. As to podding, I do not give a stuff if it happened to me as implants are cheap anyway and Id rather have fun than station spin waiting for something to happen. SP's are useless against a good player.
One thing I've learned is PVP is lot more about game knowledge and player skill than any amount of SP's. This is not WOW. You will die a lot, its cheap, its fun and even noobs like me can have a go and take advantage of the high level of knowledge the leaders give. Its like EVE-University on crack.

Very nice first night for me, I decided to go all solo to test my mettle (though did stumble upon a couple of larger gang fights), I was really tired and not at my peak IMHO but still landed 25 kills (19 solo) with 7 losses (6 not solo :P )
(Of course some of those kills were me ganking low SP rifters in a Sader but hey, them's the breaks! :P )
Having fun!

Podding is generally frowned upon, but to be safe just spam warp your pod when you're close to dying. This should not discourage anyone from joining up.

ECM is one of the hardest thing to counter. If you already have low sensor strength slapping on ECCM won't do you much - you do realize this, don't you?
Out of all the EW available, ECM is the most gamebreaking by far. Makes sense to discourage it. ___________________

Eve Tribune have contacted me about writing an article on what we're doing.
Last time round a few devs commented on what we were doing quite positively and said they liked it, that was before there was faction warfare though so whether they would feel differently this time I don't know, quite a few have left/are leaving FW to join us.
Having said that, with the amount of people I've spoken to who'd used the Power of 2 to make RvB chars they shouldn't mind too much. It's a great time for Power of 2 folks!

Edited by: Zartanic on 28/09/2009 12:27:40 Any carebear who wants to try out PVP to see if they like it or just to learn the basics would fit in fine. Unlike FW you don't just get select groups, an FC simply links up an auto join to fleet and off you go. Anyone is welcome to try FC too. No hassle or ego chat (except lots of teapot abuse) Fleet and ship sizes are being restricted or matched up as far as practical by mutual agreement. No system is perfect but it works quite well. So flying around in a Thrasher is fine. The forums already have some excellent advice on how to FC and ship fitting as well as basic PVP advice. The aim is not to teach PVP but that's happening by default.

"Real PVP corp"?
Doesn't get more real than this tbh, quite few corps or alliances in EVE that can offer more fun, action or challenges tbh.

This is exaclty what I did. With the 100% bonus to training time its possible to get a brand new alt into a rifter with T2 guns in under 1 week.
I'd recommend this to anyone. I didn't have much experience with PvP before this apart from a little FW. Had a blast on Saturday until my hard drive packed up
Cant wait for it to come back so I can jump back into the thick of things.
The atmosphere is really friendly on both sides with lots of obliging pilots willing to go 1v1 if you want a solo fight to try something new.

Last night I suicided my Dual LAR Hype in to a gang of 10+ filthy Blues, station ***gotry granted... I hadn't bothered forming a fleet or even checking if we had actives but it was at our HQ so I thought somebody would undock, that turned out to be a false assumption, mostly every red was AFK after a gang... :P
The Hype had a quite Epic tank but I still managed to lose it with 0 kills. :P (I ****ed up 2 times, I kept on the bait harby with blood frenzy and let the TDing arbi live and mess me, also I deaggroed too late, my struct dropped a second before a new repair cycle would have taken me out of trouble)
Epic fun though, I have to fit a new one soon.

I'd like to suggest that with the coming npc-corp tax, joining RvB is an excellent idea for mission runners! Its quite simple, just join the Blues, and tell everyone in the RvB channel which system you mission in, so we know not to bother you there.

Since Saturday's launch, kill tally is Blue: 944, Red 900. Almost 2000 ships in less than a week.
There really is no better time to dip your foot into pvp. We welcome newbies and carebears alike. Cast off your yoke! Do something with that ISK rather than pile it up, waiting for the right time to use it. You won't get attitude here, only more targets to plow into.
Play this game the way its meant to be played, for fun

I had my first night with RvB last night, and it was a blast. Quite simply, it was the most fun I've had in EVE for quite some time.
It beats FW hands down. As far as I could tell, there was no ego in chats, no "GET IN THIS *!*! FLEET NOW U *@#^!", no real smack or whining, no silly blobs. Just pure fun.
I almost always prefer to solo, but there were a few small fleets doing good work as well.
Get on board with these chaps. You won't be disappointed.

Have to agree it's just pure fun with no blobs, and their are also lots of 1v1's. I been in it since it began and i learnt a lot just in these few days. If your new and looking to get into PVP without the politics or boring POS warfare then this is definately it

Cost to me so far about 20 million including about 20 ships in stock, maybe less cost as I loot sometimes of course. Cost of each ship, fully insured, a few hundred thousand even with named mods. Fun value is around 1 billion. Best ISK to fun ratio in the game. And I don't even have to pay for the free knowledge I'm getting from experts in the game.

If you are north american time zone (play around 00-07 EVE time) please join Red Federation. They need more active players in NA evenings and especially FCs (gang leaders).
apply at these headquarters: Red - Tourier III Republic station, Blue - Alentene VI Poteque station

There are some individuals who don't quite "get it" yes... (hint hint) But overall it's still going quite wonderfully, and any balance and/ or attitude issues will be looked at if they persist. The stupid ganks to good fights ratio is still absurdly good compared to most of EVE IMHO.

There is no formal training at all but there is:
1. Guides for new players on the forums.
2. You join a fleet by clicking on the link in corp chat. It does not matter if your a vet of a total beginner you can join a fleet. If your lost as to what to do then ask. The worst case is its in the middle of a fight and players are too busy to reply.
3. You will pick up PVP advice just reading the chat channels.
4. If you say 'hi I'm new' no one will care. You won't get some egomaniac giving you a hard time or telling you what ship you must fly.
5. RvB encourages groups of frigates and cruisers so low SP's are not an issue. Many players are new alts of other players, some highly experienced, some not.

Joined up with Red Federation last night. Took a couple days to get the logistics setup and get some ships in system then a day of extra delay when I found out that just resigning as CEO of my corp wasn't sufficient to leave so had to spend that extra day in stasis (that seems like a really stupid mechanism)
Anyway got in in time to get into a couple fights, Lost a couple ships and killed a couple rifters and got in on the kill of a Mymidon that was camping Red HQ (that really helped pad my isk lost isk destroyed stats).
I'm probably still running lolfits but since run a mining corp with the alts and my buddy and I bought BPs for all the Gallente and Caldari T1 frigs our costs are nice and low (as long as we don't get crazy with fittings)
Have noticed some serious war profiteering going on in the Tourier market but just means I'll use my alt for logistics rather than buying things in system.
Things I've learned so far.
Frigate battles are short brutal affairs.
Do not engage that hyperion in your T1 frigate.
That rifter sitting 100km off the jump gate is bait don't rush off after it in your microwarp equiped Imicus leaving your back up behind.
and I need to learn how to fit ships for PVP.
So far it's been fun and I look forward to getting some more action going forward.

Still going strong losing some ships and getting some kills. The weekend was great fun I've managed to get my killboard stats in the positive territory both in kills v. losses as well as ISK lost vs ISK Destroyed.
Currently Blue team is hurting in US primetime so last night due to a lack of available blue targets we did a purple run (combined blue and red players) down to null sec.
Flying along side a guy I ganked a few minutes earlier and another who ganked me a few hours later really helps to emphasis that this is all for fun and nothing is personal.
For the most part people have tried to keep in the spirit of RvB. There have been a few bad apples but they get dealt with eventually.
As far as ships go we've seen everything from T1 frigs up to a couple battleships as well as a bunch of Assault Frigs and interceptors.
The pilots run the gambit from PVP pro's down to the noobish neophytes like me.
It's a great way to get your feet wet in PVP, The players and leadership have been very friendly and helpful.
I've got a couple friends who are starting to play who'll be joining up with my Corp later and I plan on recommending a tour with RvB to them and anyone else who comes along as a way to get some experience and get past the combat jitters.
My thanks to Plave and the rest of the leadership for setting up this valuable resource.

Earlier this evening had Red Fed ship down to (mostly) noob ships. We promptly killed a blue Geddon who thought it wise to smartbomb us on the gate within range of good ol customs officials. This resulted in his death, and many laughs over voice. Another highlight includes a fleetmate killing my noobship in his Moa followed by the rest of the fleet killing him lol.
Lots of fun here folks.

Yup. You need three skills to PVP:
Afterburner I Racial Frigate I Propulsion Jamming I
Total training time for these is maybe 30 minutes.
If you have those three skills, grab yourself a Kessie/Rifter/Tristan/Punisher/Whatever and come join the fun!

Also nice for casual players who just want a bit of diversion in the evening!
You can get fights fast, without much loss of ISK - T1 frigs are cheap. And podding is rare (however I think it is better to target a station and hit warp when you go down). ------------------------------------ radiation... too much radiation... |

Week and a half of warfare, 4000+ kills, 300 or so combatants on each side.
The attrition rates are insane but the thing is, those who are in don't generally complain, they're having a blast shooting the crap out of each other!
Haven't ever PVP'd in Eve? Join us to try it out! I'd suggest starting out with frigs with cheap fits to get your feet "wet" and as your confidence grows to upscale fittings and ships slowly. We got it all, from total newbies to battlehardened 0.0 veterans who've grown weary of the situation in 0.0 space.
Join the fun today, apply at Tourier 3 for Red Federation or Alentene 6 - 16 for Blue Republic.
We have nothing to hold you back, you can join up and leave as you want. Lost your stash of ships and are out of ISK? No problem, just leave to make more ISK and come back when you've build up a stash of ships to fight with again :)

Alt chars very welcome. In two weeks you can go from a noob to a basic Rifter pilot able to use MWD, disruptors, tank and T2 autocannons. Will you die a lot and feel like cannon fodder? Probably, but we all do. Get in a gang with 2-5 others and roam. Sometimes you'll be primaried, often you won't. Will you make a significant contribution? Thats up to you.
Don't take RvB too seriously and you will be successful imo.

Fleet inventions are open to all and flying a T1 Frigate is normal. As said before some characters are a few days or weeks old. You will die, a lot, but most of us do. The main thing is its cheap, fun and a good introduction to PVP.
It costs a few million to make several Rifters fitted with named mods if you want or just the cheapest mods you can get. That's more than sufficient to get going. There is no concept of 'your a useless noob so do x and leave the fun to the vets' in RvB, everyone mucks in together. You won't get flamed for being crap either but your encouraged to learn and advise is often given.
The fights are a mix of loose gang and solo roams to properly organised battles with experienced FC's (and some new FC's too who want to learn, everyone is allowed to FC even if they have never done it before) The best part is you can leave anytime. Its not a formal corp in the sense there are mindless rules or time commitments, the corps are only there to facilitate PVP. Having said that a sense of identity is naturally building up and its usually a good atmosphere in chat.

We have an RvB chatroom but smacking blue's rusty teapot in local gets us a fight sometimes. Even if I die first because of it. :< |

Edited by: Stud Manley on 15/10/2009 12:58:58 I started about a week ago with this completely noob alt. So far I've lost over a dozen rifters with T1 fits, have been in on a couple of group kills, and have had loads of fun. I've also learned a great deal about PvP.

We already have an RvB chat room, plus corp channels, plus fleet channels, plus voice. You're only hearing a small fraction of our inane babblings.

You know at first glance, I thought this was cool. After thinking about it a bit, I don't really like what you guys are doing. I do not like it because you have built a sandbox within the sandbox. The means for you to pvp and have fun are already in the game. Why are you separating yourselves from the rest of the players?
I was talking with my corp, and if we werent all -10 we would war dec one of your corps. I hope a pvp corp capable of going to high sec and getting into Verge Vendor does just that to break down your little sandbox within our sandbox.

We do have a few corps who have decced us. We fight them as well as each other. After heavy ISK losses on their side they tend to call off the dec.
There's no sandbox here; we are just as susceptible to PVP as anyone else in high sec, we just get more of it. How are we more separate from the rest of Eve than any other high sec corp?
Also, unlike many high sec groups, we do roams into lowsec and 0.0. Work up some intel and come get us there.

If you're going to have an opinion at least base it on fact, we are in no way separated from the rest of Eve. In 2.5 weeks we've had wardecs from 5 other corps in eve and you'll find us a couple of times a week in 0.0.
I also hope a pvp corp capable of coming into high sec and bringing us a fight does so, we welcome it.

That's kind of the point of sandbox games. People can find their enjoyment however they want.
In thise case, it's two corps beating the crap out of each other, even if it is for 'no reason'. For some people, the enjoyment of the fight is enough.
RVB players aren't separating themselves from the rest of the players at all. That's such a laughably incorrect statement I seriously question the intelligence of anyone who would utter it.

I joined this corp, nothing but awesomeness.
We did a purple op the otherday, 90+ ships in 0.0 and we took down a carrier, battleship, and some other targets ( http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Canderous+Brutor )
On top of that, I have been given plenty of PvP opportunities which help out alot because I am new to PvP. Nothing is more enjoyable then getting in a rifter and instantly joining a fleet of 10+ ready to take down another.

Plenty of wars to go around, no FC? step up and just go do something. It is completely for fun, no pressure, from noob ship to battleship go have FUN.
Red vs Blue is a fun game within a great game of EVE Online, enjoy it!

people whine and ***** only if you have fielded heavy/T2 ship without consideration of balance and/or with intent to gank
you are more than welcome to field heavy ships and t2 cruiser hulls against our 3rd party war targets of which we have many - 6-7 corporations on each side plus the privateer alliance - as well as take these ships out when you are significantly outnumbered i.e. you're running a very small gang or soloing against a larger enemy gang ... there are also purple ops that run into 0.0 or lowsec where T2 ships are welcome .... but something like a dual-guardian 30+ battleship/battleruiser fleet duking it out with another bs/bc blob is not something you will see in RVB

OK, I'm intrigued. I still have short of 1 million SP, but I figure I might as well get my feet wet. A couple of ?? though.
1) Do I stand any hope of accomplishing any thing at my skill level, or should I wait a bit? 2) Do I join just like I'd join another Corp? 3) Do you use EVE Voice, Ventrillo, or Team Speak? 4) If I get my butt shot to hell, and I run out of isk, is it easy to leave temporarily so I can earn isk for a refit in peace?
I'm at work right now (don't tell the boss!), I'll check out the R-V-B channel when I get off work. Thanx for your time.

Hope this answers some of your questions:
1.) Absolutely you do. Quite a few fights consist of T1 frigates, destroyers, and cruisers. When on, just look for a fleet invite and follow along. You can almost always get good 1v1 fights in most T1 shiptypes.
2.) Yes .. You joined Blue at Alentene 6-16 and Red at Tourier III.
3.) Most of the time we use eve voice. While imperfect it works pretty well for what we have going.
4.) You can come and go as you please. Plenty of people have left and come back for isk purposes.
1) Do I stand any hope of accomplishing any thing at my skill level, or should I wait a bit? 2) Do I join just like I'd join another Corp? 3) Do you use EVE Voice, Ventrillo, or Team Speak? 4) If I get my butt shot to hell, and I run out of isk, is it easy to leave temporarily so I can earn isk for a refit in peace?

Don't worry, better people than you have tried, and then let the wars lapse:

Also, I don't really like what you're doing - Posting on an alt instead of your main. Got something to hide? Unless this 2008 char is your main, and you're just bragging about a make-believe -10 sec status

I wanted to ask a few etiquette questions about RvB.
If a Red/Blue is flying an industrial an orca or a freighter, are they still fair game or are haulers off limits for PvP?
If a Red and a Blue come across each other in a major trade system like Jita, are they free to fire on each other? Are they free to fire on each other anywhere in EvE? Or are they limited to certain regions for fighting?
How are logistical ships viewed in gang fights? Are logistical *****s acceptable or frowned upon?
Are Red and Blue mining ops fair game as well? Do mining ops even happen in RvB?
Are there certain ships we're not allowed to fly into combat? T2, T3, or other specialized ship? ___________________________________

Everything is fair game, anywhere.
Originally by: Cyprus Black How are logistical ships viewed in gang fights? Are logistical *****s acceptable or frowned upon?
Depends on the fight really, if you bring a Guardian to a 2v2 cruiser fight that's pretty lame and you'll be told so and probably killed, by your own side. In bigger fights it's not an issue.
Originally by: Cyprus Black Are there certain ships we're not allowed to fly into combat? T2, T3, faction, or other specialized ship?
Any ship is allowed, again, depending on the fight will depend on the reaction you get, dedicated ECM ships in small fights, as above will get you killed, probably by your own side. T3 cruisers and Marauders have died in RvB, everyone likes to kill the shiny stuff. You'll soon find you'll get more fun out of 10 nicely fitted Ruptures than one Sleipnir.

Both systems are in Gallente space, Verge Vendor region.

Yes, its what I do. It took me about 2 days to train up for a Bestower with rigs on an alt.
In the Red station you can also manufacture (not sure about Blue)
There is also a good market that's been built up in the stations so buying is a viable option too.

I've been getting some valuable experience in RvB recently and having a lot of fun. As a friend put it, with RvB you can skip all the foreplay and get right the orgasm. And since I have limited playtime recently, I have no patience for foreplay.
Last night I jumped my plated Arbitrator into a camp of 5 frigates and 2 dessies (on purpose). Lost the Arby of course, but taking down 5 frigs in under 2 minutes was quite fun.
Also been getting practice in frigate 1v1s. I'm so used to being in a frig blob or being blobbed while in a frig that I hadn't realized how fun a frig 1v1 could be. Lots of manual maneuvering, changing of ammo, micromanaging of cap, propulsion, repper, overheating, etc.
RvB rocks. I highly recommend it, if you have the means. And be means, I mean just a few million ISK to get started.

Coming back this weekend for another go and bringing a couple friends, hoping reds are taking US players since I just re-opened the corporate office there for logistics.
I just have to resist the urge to undock BCs so my money last longer this time.
To any newbies on the fence I highly recommend a round of R-V-B it's a great way to break your PVP cherry and get past the combat jitters and learn to be comfortable with ships being shot out from under you.

Joined RvB on another char after reading about how RvB try to engage with sameish odds and how they strive to get good fights above all else.
Found out over the course of 2 weeks that 90% of the pvp is Red slaughtering Blue with more people, in bigger ships and smacking about Blue being "whiners".
Left disappointed. |

Is there a website or forum for RvB?
I'm moving some resources into place to join in; I'd like to get some PvP experience and this seems like the best way to start out :)
I'm also interested in whether there are neutral corps providing logistical support to RvB?
For example, I have an Orca. Perhaps theres a possibility of loading the hangar up with PvP-fitted t1 frigates, taking it to frigate fights and providing fresh frigates for people to continue the fight, providing this service impartially to both Red and Blue.

I've not been playing much for weeks but last time I looked there were suppliers to the HQ's and I know some good people in the corps brought a lot of stuff in too. A few days ago it was remarked the market there was very active. So if you brought in T1 frigs and basic mods/ammo you should have no problem selling them. Look on the website though and ask in the R-V-B channel, others may be able to give you better info.
EDIT: Be warned though, if your in red or blue even industrials are valid targets. At any given time there are often third party wardecs going on too.

I agree. I haven't taken the plunge yet, but it seems like the best environment for me to learn pvp :)
My plan at this stage is to join both red and blue, one after the other. Learn how you guys operate, what kinds of fittings you like, what works.
Then to use that knowledge to stock my Orca with appropriately fitted frigates of various types and sell them at the site of battle.
Assuming pilots don't get podded they could just buy a frigate off of me, I'd eject it from the hangar, they can board it and fly away and carry on the fight!
How does this sound?

The war is still very alive with many hundreds of ships dieing each week.
Also I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome Wraithstorm as he is the knew leader of project RvB. In his first week he's proven very capable at organising the troops and I'm sure that will continue.
RvB was never about me leading it all the time, I wanted it to be a project run by eve players that would always continue with the current leader carrying on for as long as they wish before identifying a suitable replacement.

Yesterday Sunday 13 December saw two of the biggest fights I have witnessed in RvB since I joined 6 weeks ago. The first one took place in Tourier off the Alenia gate and went on for absolute ages allowing people to pod run back to their HQs jump in a new ship and rejoin the battle. In this Red had an advantage as their HQ was in Tourier. I personally lost 2 Stabbers in that battle and just missed out getting a third into the same battle. The end result was a marginal win for the Reds and they held the field briefly allowing them to loot and run just before a reformed Blue fleet jumped in for another round. Here is the KB summery of the battle
http://bluerep.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=5163225
The second battle occurred within about an hour in the Alenia system smack bang between the two HQs (Tourier and Alentene). Again people were pod running back to their HQs for new ships and rejoining only this time no side had the advantage and victory finally went to the Blues. Personally, I lost another Stabber in that battle, my forth of the day, but there is nothing sweeter than to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women! Here is the KB summery of that epic battle
http://bluerep.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=5163731
...so tired...85 Rifters, 5 Thrashers, 10 Stabbers, 1 Rupture and a load of noobships all lost in the last 6 weeks. I was only born on the 1st of October, I am too young for this level of horror.

85 Rifters
lol Maj, you got me beat.
Major Trant typifies what's good about RvB..He will jump into a fight outnumbered to help out his corpies, AND he's does a good job as FC also.
Things you need/need to know for RvB:
1. You are gonna lose ships, get used to it. Leave your shiny T2/Faction shiny's at home, unless you are ready to lose em fast. (Trust me, I learned that the hard way )
2. If you have been running lvl2 or 3 missions in Cruisers/BC's this is a whole new ballgame folks. You haven't seen DPS put on you till you get primaried by the other fleet...T2 cruisers just melt.
3. I see lots of new guys join up, just hop in their favorite BC, cruiser, T2 frig and wander off on their own and DIE...quickly. We usually have fleets up, just use the fancy new fleet finder and join up. A mic is nice, but at least join voice so you can hear the FC and others. Team work is the name of the game
4. If you join a fleet and have to go AFK for more than a couple of minutes LEAVE the freakin fleet please, you can always come back.
5. There's decent market in the AO, but it wouldn't hurt to bring a few of your fav ships, which should be your racial frig of choice if you are new. If you are new to PvP and bring fitted ships, trust me your favorite fitting is gonna change fast.
Anyway, I have been there a month, and it's certainly the most fun I have ever had in Eve.
We now have a NO Podding rule also.
If you are new, do yourself a favor and just learn to fly frigates, then move up. It'll save you alot of isk and you will learn ALOT.

Edited by: Borun Tal on 14/12/2009 20:53:15 Considering moving an alt out there and joining up (main can't enter Gallente space ), but a couple quick questions: 1) Noticed the RvB board post that said no podding, but others talking about podding regularly. Is that a "try not to" rule or not worth following: 2) Also, does the "no ECM" rule apply to webbers and painters? Saw a post on the board, but no specific answer? 3) If I run across an opponent on his own, can I engage? I know the war rules, but is it considered "bad form" if it's not a fleet/gang fight?
Thanks!

1. Podding used to be 'frowned on' but as with all things in EVE that was sometimes exploited. So now it's no podding. The rules are recent and posted here RvB Forums
2. ECM applies to Target Disrupters and Jammers but someone else can hopefully confirm that.
3. Yes certainly and its fine if you just want to go solo hunting or in small packs. Players new to being an FC are also encouraged to give it a try. Station camping has its own rule where by anyone doing it CAN be subject to any reprisal, even ECM and ganking (camping could get lame)
I've not been active in RvB PVP for a couple of months (limited play time for a while) and I'm just a pleb, so please take my answers with that in mind.
The rules are only for Red v Blue. Against third parties anything goes.

1. The NO Podding is a solid rule. No exceptions.
2. "No ECM Modules" So it only applies to ECM. Blackbirds/Griffins are allowed, provided you dont put ECM on them. Target Disruptors, Sensor Damps, Target Painters, Webbers, Scrams, any other type of EWAR is allowed. ECM Drones are allowed. (for now)
3. You can solo PVP and gank people to your hearts content. There are no rules against solo PVP. You can even ask for official 1v1s if you like. All RvB pilots are required to honor 1v1s(at planets or safespots), or you get kicked.

How can they enforce rules on outside corps?
Aside from bringing hundreds of vengeful, kill-crazy maniacs who care nothing for what they lose as long as they sate their lust for vengence on your crunchy frozen corpse, that is.

Unfortunately no. We have no control of outside entities, and a few of our brave pilots have been podded by 3rd party WT's. They dust off their shoulders, hop into another clone and ship and go at it again though.
RVB is still going strong with plenty of spontanious fleet action, numerous 1v1's, and a good mix of planned joint operations to 0.0 or low sec. We even have tournaments such as our very popular frigate FFA. Join in on the action today!

The no podding rule applies internally, Red and Blue do not pod each other. 3rd Party War Targets do not respect that rule and we reply in kind to them. The same applies during low and null sec roams. Members are therefore encouraged to assume that the risk is always present and take action to preserve their pod and implant investments.
1. Pod Saver overview 2. GTFO spamming when in structure 3. Local medical clone. 4. Use PvP Clone 5. Keep your clone upgraded. 6. Pod Upgrade Skill maxed out (+15% to pod Shield, Armor and Structure resists per level)

Both Blue Republic and Red Federation are (each) approaching their 10,000th Kill. Special prizes and medals are going to be awarded to the pilots in each Corporation who get the 10,000th KM, get in now if you want a chance to win as they are only a few days away.

I want to join RvB (probably blue!). It will be my first proper PvP experience (even though i have 17m SP) How many ships/items do you guys stock most of the time?? I havent played for awhile (1.5 years) and i am trying to get back on the track about my finances.

Blue is the place to be at the moment a 60M bounty is being split between the Blue members who get on our 10000 KM, we are currently on 9912 with around 100 kills being made a day, so that means it will be gone in the next 24 hours.
Those filthy reds though, beat us to it a few days ago with their 10000th kill, I demand a recount.

Another wonderful day in RVB -- 5 fleet fights - ganking everything from frigs to Drone heavy cruisers -- oh wait I could be waiting on low sec all day just to see someone fly by (just kidding) -- I love low sec too thats why Im glad that RVB is always at war with other Corps and we go deep into low sec when not killing each other as well --
Come join us! -- Its worth it -- true PVP experience is much better when its hands on and loads of it dont hurt either.
See ya soon Orion Shadowmaker |

Been thinking about joining ya'll for awhile now, if anything just so I can get PvP experience. Couple of questions first if I may.
- Are there any expectations from members? For example I may want to fleet with ya'll for a day or so, then head off to Mini space for a day or so for missions, is this acceptable?
- Speaking of Missions, how do your members go about making money? Same way every one else does? Are there Ops for replenishing funds and the like? (This is my only character, I don't have another account or even an alt)
That's all I can think of for now.

1. Yes, do what you like. Some players are experienced low SP alts of active characters in large corps.
2. I mission several jumps away and never had an issue. Of course I have picked an out of the way place and my experience does not mean you will not have issues. There are no funds as it is not a corp in the normal meaning with mining etc. The corp is there purely for PVP purposes (war dec and identification between Red and Blue) Maybe use a Rifter and with insurance the cost is minimal.

Guys RVB is truly a daily war that never ceases -- for all you low sec guys who may believe all the wait time in low sec is worth it - RVB is the place to be for constant action and "serious" thats right I said it FUN! -- I had all these same doubts (trust me) my brother had to beg me to come -- Wow Im so glad he did -- I love this Corp and I look forward to just logging on for the next curveball tactic or suweet strategy to win a fight. experience says it all --
look forward to seeing you guys

Sorry, I'm still confused about the ECM thing. I thought all those things you listed were considered ECM, so wouldn't they be disallowed? Or is it specifically no jammers or ECM burst?

We dont use ECm or ECM burst -- weapon disruption - target painting - warp dis and webbers are all ok. We want good fights and lots of em. There is so much to learn about PVP other than ECM --
The sheer repetiveness of fight after fight helps hone your strategies and natural feel for what you need to bring to a fleet or 1v1 fight to win.
Its the best move I've made in Eve
Hope to see ya soon

All the things listed come under Electronic Warfare. ECM is a subset of that which is Jammers and ECM burst, but ECM drones are allowed. Of course against third parties anything goes and often does. At any time there are several war decs so there is plenty of opportunity to use ECM ships if you want to, just not in RvB combats.
Here's a guide that should clear up any confusion: Ewar guide

tried it, was optimistic, but turned out to be clinical and nothing like PVP in the rest of eve, some might find it fun - thats fine im not going to tell you how to play eve, but dont think of it as preparation for any kind of 'real' PVP. Size/cost of ship doesnt matter, type of engagment does though. |

Eve used to be like this in the beginning, with pirates next door. I always loved that.
So if this turns out to be random frig pilots flying around on their own or in small gangs, it should be a lot of fun.
