In the last couple month, A4D corp has started to post Battle Reports and descriptions on our PVP adventures and based out from Curse instead of just spamming "Join Us" in the recruitment part of the foruns:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2193750#post2193750
Problem is... Most descriptions tend to become mighty walls of text, so I wanted to change it a bit by joining some basic pics and mini-videos, and therefore will be trying to evolve into a blog.
... I noticed Gibbo has also started a new blog, with somewhat similar objectives, and me advertising mine today is a pure coincidence . I'm still pretty sure that our experiences will be wholy and completly diferent, and look forward on checking him on a regular basis.
The main objective of my blog is to talk about our average day to day PVP. EVE has some epic fights and moments, but it's the everyday conflict that drives us into loggin back into EVE over and over again. Blog can be found:
http://curses-im-in-my-pod.blogspot.pt/
I been trying to get the hang of it and running mostly tests, though I have already some posts there. Any constructive criticism is ofc welcome.

You mess up the fleet names (calling red blue or blue red at some points) and make a few wording error's that make it extremely hard to follow the battle report. ie the second red sabre is out of the fight, but there is only one sabre to start with on the red side.
Good idea though mate
imho just call them the solar and A4D fleets for confusions sake. TRIAD is recruiting "TRIAD Agency" in game channel |

Example of everyday fights roaming around, NOT epic matches, but honestly, it's the kinda the stuff EVE is daily built upon for the solo/small gang PVP'er.
5 Engagements using Dessys and Frigs 1 - Catalyst vs Arty Wolf - 3 rounds 2 - Catalyst vs Thrasher 3 - Catalyst vs Kitting Algos with Links 4 - Cormorant vs AB Web Scram Taranis 5 - Harpy Vs Stabber (Blue provides me with some backup really...)

Well... That is kinda the point. I've met many guys with lot's of years of EVE and lot's of Skillpoints that couldn't hold themselves out there alone. Even worse, have really no one to guide them or offer advice other than "Don't undock without a scout" or "Don't undock without a fleet". Hope I might give a hand there, because I remember how it was when I was a Sov grunt.
On other hand, I also know many "Pros" that can't fly any other than a Cynabal because are unable to kill even frigate or always die on ship that might be slower, with no neuts, less tank, and no ECM drones . Just wanna show there is a cheaper funnier option.
In the end, sometimes by looking at our own performance, one might actually find a better solution other than the tipical "I was blobled" or "There was nothing I could do!".

Updated 10th June.
As for true solo without dual-boxing, I prolly won't really do much, unless I'm using a frigate or destroyer...
A cruiser is cheap enough for me not to care if I get banged on a gate camp, but going out on a BC in 0.0 without a scout is just usually good to provide some other folk a free KM... I prefer to make other folk work for it!
Nevertheless I should already have footage for an entire episode dedicated to the Solo Harpy. We shall see... |

Although your corp is know for camping gates with 2+ ecm boats around curse with art of war , i do enjoy your vids. But this one was a little to long for my taste, I stopped it at 5:26 minute mark and you were still explaining what was gonna happen. Sometimes not explaining every little thing is better. |

Brilliant videos. Can become true gems of wisdom for the right pilots who are looking to get into this kind of action. You explain really well, with humor and good spirit! Love the editing. Good fights! Nice kills. These should definitely get some more views, try to write about this to the Eve news sites maybe they'll write a couple lines about you, many pilots can benefit from your efforts. Keep it going as long as you're having fun. My latest solo PvP videos |

Gotta say I passed this over the first time as just a blog, but when I took a few minutes to check it out you have some really solid content! Great commentary and excellent tutorials for newer people (and older people alike!) |

I really enjoyed your video's.
As a new player and someone who will join the ranks of a nullsec corporation on short notice, I found this really nice and informative watch. Please do release more, I'm eager to learn as much as I can before I dive into the deep!
I have one question though.
The green little edges above modules, that's overloading or heating right? Why, may I ask, do you always overheat your tackle gear? After being a bit nosey on how overloading works I realise it adds a % of range to your warp scramblers or disruptors, but your targets often are within standard range (or it looks that way to me at least?)
Am I missing something? |

EDIT: I assume you do that as a precaution, they may try to get distance on you and keep them where you want.
Going 0.0 sec is great, and I hope you fight in order to not become a "ship" spinner in station! Always things out there to kill, no matter the ship you choose do undock in, and no matter if people tell you that "you'll just die to a blob".
As for the Green Edge above the button, yes, it's the overload marker. The heating is the red bar filling around the modules.
Concerning the overload, you saw correct, and your "edit" assumption is also correct! Here's some general pointers for a fight, specially in brawling frigs: 1 - Always overload all your mods from start. Fights are so fast in frigs (sometimes less than 15 seconds) that you'll die before the mods burn. 2 - Keep an eye on your MWD overload. That mod burns really fast! 3 - Don't agress before you get a Scram on your target. If it flies away, just burn back to gate or run oposite direction. Don't get kitted. Also having your MWD and Scram overloaded from start helps a lot (see rule n.-¦ 1).

I just had my first small gang roam tonight!
Was making sure to remember all the things I picked up, but alas, we had our targets turning around and leave before we met face to face - shame really!
Thanks for your explanation Pleniers and do keep making your video's, I both enjoy them and find them informative so keep it up! |
