On November 16th at 17:00 EVE Time, CCP will be organizing an official New Player Training Session PVP fleet. We invite all new players to attend these fleets, which will be organized and run by CCP Community developers with assistance from our ISD STAR team. We hope to teach new players about the basics of fleet PVP and warfare. We promise to roam the cluster and look for good fights and probably all die gloriously in a fire. If you are interested in participating in these fleets, here is the information.
- Four fleets will be formed in each empireGÇÖs space. You may come to any fleet, regardless of your characterGÇÖs race. The fleets will gather in the following locations:
- Amarr - Bagodan I - HZO Refinery Mining Outpost
- Caldari GÇô Litiura I - Caldari Constructions Production Plant
- Gallente GÇô Alentene V - Moon 4 - Duvolle Laboratories Factory
- Minmatar GÇô Ivar IX - Moon 4 - Brutor tribe Bureau
- You may come in any ship you wish, but we highly recommend coming in a cheap, tech 1 fast frigate. If you do not wish to risk your own ship, we will be providing frigates at each rally point. The frigates will be tech 1 frigates of the race for the rally point and will be fit with meta 1 modules. We will offer a choice of a combat ship, EWAR ship, or logistics ship. You may only take one ship.
- We will be limiting fleets to 100 people in order to keep the fleets manageable. If more than 100 people come to one fleet rallying point, we will direct some to travel to another rally point. In the event there is a massive turnout, we may form secondary fleets that will be led by ISD STAR.
- Any player is welcome to come, regardless of their character age. However, younger players will be given preference for joining the fleets if we reach our caps.
- We will begin gathering players at 17:00 EVE Time with the intent to depart at 18:00 EVE Time. We will fill the fleets on a first-come, first-serve basis (with the above caveat for character age).
- We will utilize EVE Voice to issue fleet commands to players. We highly recommend you have a headset or speakers to listen to commands. However, in the event you do not or cannot, we will also be using fleet chat and fleet broadcasts to relay commands.
- Any attempt by players to join the fleets to spam or otherwise disrupt proceedings will be dealt with harshly.
- Please be aware that by joining the fleets, you agree to the following risks:
- You may lose security status for firing at other players.
- You may gain negative standing with other player entities for attacking them.
- Any ship you bring and all of the assets in its cargo hold might be destroyed by other players and lost, so please only bring what you can afford to lose.
- Your pod may be destroyed, so please make sure your clone is up to date and you are willing to lose any implants you have plugged in.

@CCP Eterne
As a 9.9YO character I'm guessing I'd just be bumped right out of the door (which is a shame) but as a Logistics Pilot would there be a case whereby once the lesson is concluded and the roam begins (I imagine that's what will happen) that others can get in to support and hopefully keep some newbies on the field a little longer than they might have been?
Own Tech1 Logi ship would be brought to stick to the flava in fleet OFC but would like to know your thoughts on this. If I can't get in\get bumped I'd love to maybe expose some of the new guys to what Logi's do (and by that I mean repping them back from near ship loss) and that it's not all about the KB

I was at this event and part of the Caldari fleet:
Overall this went quite well. Organization at the beginning and getting everyone into a ship took a while but after that we operated smoothly and got some nice kills. However I don't think they really taught that much in the way of fleet warfare. Either way it was fun and people did learn some things. I'd not take away that part of this event. I believe you should get players who have the skills to operate larger vessels like cruisers and battlecruisers to help add more meat to the fleets. I'd also limit it to a certain number of people and not just let everyone with a big ship join. I really don't know how it would work but I feel like you should teach about how each ship within a fleet has a role and all the roles preformed well when put together really makes a fleet good. Of corse the Eve University teaches this so it may not be what you're going for.
All in all it was fun even for a long time player such as myself. |

Very fun roam and quite well executed. Eve Voice held up well and worked fine for an event such as this. Thanks to the ISD guys who came out, they were excellent at explaining the basics when required. Please do more of these events in the future |

Attended, helped some guys, laughed at others and ISD Darth Vader (you know who you are) and had a great roam through Amamake () and down to meet RvB and Mangala Solaris who was kind enough to throw some people into our fleet to even up the numbers and I believe sacrificed at Myrm with fireworks for ammunition! Hilarity ensued and then we got down to business.
I burned towards Mangala Solaris like a froth mouthed rabid raving dog, got tackled, pointed, webbed, neuted and shot of the field...and then podded! My nice new Golden Pod so that's decorating the KB of RvB but all for a worthwhile cause.
Enjoy these that I managed throughout this NPTS before I saw the lovely station interior from the eyes on my brand spanking new clone
My thanks to:
CCP Eterne for equipping all those ships and the great post. You lost a lot of ships tonight . CCP Gargant for the laughs, the fleet, the awesome time. ISD CraftyPoint for the laughs, the fleet, the awesome time. ISD Rontea for the laughs, the fleet, the awesome time.
Finally and most importantly:
To the guys who participated in fleet and to RvB for not only evening up the numbers but for the good fight. Sorry I couldn't post GF in Local...I was de-shipped and de-podded just too quickly (please don't abuse my body !).

Nice tank on the Vultures, hope the ISD guy (Ushuthral?) wasn't the FC as he landed in the middle of us and nobody bothered waiting for Gizz to call it.
Hope they enjoyed it |

Had an enjoyable evening on the Caldari fleet.
Managed to avoid a disco 'phoon before getting some ewar onto a couple of ships.... a Gallente cruiser and a Cynabal.
Then left station and we engaged a Domi and a few other ships. Got some ewar onto the Domi and I believe it was a thrasher that decided to eat my ship, managed to get away from that with about 1% structure..
1% structure
could be mistaken about the thrasher actually. Got a bit confusing unfortunately!!
About 20 minutes later we reformed and found another frigate fleet in system, we found them at Planet 4 and I proceeded to die pretty swiftly after landing.
Thanks CCP + ISD folks! Thanks to (low se)c folk who appeared as well ;) |

That was us in the Agony PvP-U fleet - we were having a different fight when we were supposed to be fighting you because you were running late or something. Then you were having a different fight when we arrived. Then we met.
Zero-range frigate brawls are pretty rapid at the start - you can try doing broadcasts if you want but its pretty futile. I dunno about anyone else but all I'm doing at the start is locking up the max number of targets ship can handle sorted by range. Then start taking down the first while the rest lock/die whatever. I've done this before (lots) and you guys haven't.
Frigate fighting is about as close to "twitch gaming" as Eve gets so probably while you guys are still deciding what to lock we were onto the second or third target.
That's just experience and knowing that fastest finger first often wins frigate fights.
I lost two frigates later on, proving my "experience" is very very rusty indeed.
Go on the Agony classes is my advice. I did and so have over 10,000 other pilots in Eve. Even if you decide you hate PvP you'll never say "jump" again unless you're the FC |
