Just don't care about dying. Its a game. Who cares.
PvP for the fun, not the 'glory', and you won't have to nurse a shattered ego when you lose a ship.
Relax, and enjoy. People do stupid things when they are all angry and puffed up - avoid getting like that.

Fight a lot: fight as much as possible. Die a lot. Have fun. That's about it, really.
I think I'm still in the 'die a lot' stage
In short: Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

and dying a lot.
Especially the dying part, will help lots... unfortunately
Dying is great. Especially when you're new and don't have expensive clones and implants. Dare and die. That's the way to learn. Nothing is as good as finding yourself in the clone lab and realised that you've learned something new.

Edited by: Scorpyn on 19/04/2006 15:53:36 * Don't panic, stay focused * Use fraps to record the fight, then afterwards look at the fraps footage and take note of what you and your opponent(s) and friend(s) did, and try to think of ways of doing things differently * Learn as much as you can about ships and modules in EVE, and if you're fighting a specific opponent then research the ships and tactics he/she/they are using and think of ways of defeating * If people whine about something on the forums, such as stabs (or as before the dual mwd setups), then don't be afraid to try it out even if it's "dishonorable"
If you follow these advices, you should get good pretty quick.

plus being observant and learning from your mistake presuming that the aforementioned observant quality is well developed as it should be.
I know people who spend alot of time looking at fraps...almost as much as they do playing. They find pvp fascinating and something that they can delve into as a "thinking game" and spend hours picking apart the nuances of this or that.

to become good at PvP you need loads of practice. loads and loads and loads and loads. You also need to know a lot about ships and how everything works. A good PvPer can assess what he is up against with his huge knowledge of the game, and then employ a fitting tactic at short notice.
Skills help ofc

Edited by: Ripline on 20/04/2006 02:09:13 Resisting the urge to engage right away helps. Habitually taking a few seconds to think before making a move will help. Not being aware of your surroundings gets you killed. Use the scanner and maybe check the local one more time, in a word.
Other than that, practice. The biggest hurdle is to just to get used to it. Dying a lot helps, means you're not as easily distracted when getting shot at.

/signed dying alot ftw.
good pvpers arnt afriad to engage and lose precious setups, fear is your enemy, panic = death. confedence will reward you. now im not saying u should take out a CN raven to amamake :P but learn the tricks, and NEVER be afriad to make sacrefices. otherwise ull just lose despites the odds being in your favour.
now being a good pvper DOES not make you rich, you can pirate and snipe at gates poping haulers and shuttles packing bpos and equipment and get rich, PVPing is more than that.
EDIT: you must master some crucial instruments, like scanners, probes, the right selection of drones etc. PVPing is not always a direct path, often you;ll need to chase.
make this statement your creed -> "Id rather fall beside 10 lions, than stand with One thousand sheep"
good luck:)

I find going YARRRR!
before every battle helps.
Getting good at PvP is neither fast or easy or cheap. After 2 years of playing I'm still far from where I want to be... but I'm getting better.
And remember that the fun is in small groups.. blobbing and gate camping is NOT PvP ------------------------ I don't believe in sigs. |

Yeh I would second the above! If you really wanna excell at PvP go in a small group and take on a larger group :) 10 people firing on 1 ship is NOT PvP in my book that's pirating ROFL.
Disclaimer
Soul Reaver actually loves all pirates :) Afterall the game would be a tad boring without them in it methinks! It would become like UO or worse still THE SIMS! Still thinking about it what fun I could have if I opened a small hair dressing salon! Now there's a thought!

dishonorable or not people do whatever it takes to win sometimes and to avoid lossing ships

As many have said before me, fit up a frigate and get out there. The main advantage of small ships is they are extremely flexible and allow you to take advantage of certain situations.
Make sure you know how to use all the tools CCP gave us, play about with your map settings, learn how to use the scanner. Bookmark all those useful sites out there that give you system/ship/npc information.
And corp corp corp. Join a corp

Don't join a empire pirate corp. Don't join a empire merc corp. Don't practice killing carebears in empire. Don't pretend killing easy targets in massive amounts means you're a good pvper

Originally by: Phinaes Black Good day, I have recently started playing EVE about two weeks ago. I want to get into PVP and maybe some pirating. However I don't really know what I am doing and the two fights I have been in ended in my death mostly because I get so nervous and my hands start shaking I end up making some dumb mistake and dieing. So I was hoping some of the vets might be able to give me some advice on useful skills and what not but most importantly tips on how to beat the jitters.
Thanks in advance.
I suggest you join BYDI. Because we rock. Other then that a large herbal smoke will help with the jitters mind you, I've lost a few cruisers to sitting at planets on the stuff.

Makes sense, if you bait newbies outside state war acadamy with cans labled 'free stuff' you're not learning anything more useful than how to turn your guns on. __________________________________________________

Alcohol also makes you stronger, faster and harder to hurt in PvP.

If you want to get good at PvP here are 3 tips from me:
1)Study. Learn how every module in the game works. Learn what damage types all the weapons do. Learn what natural resists all the ships have. Learn how to evaluate your own setups by doing dps calculations and by looking at resistances and speed. Knowledge will give you the upper hand in most fights.
2) Practice. Get out there and do it. You'll want to tweak your overview to suit your needs. You'll want to learn how the scanner works. Get enough fights under your belt so that you can control your emotions in combat.
3) Think about what the enemy is really up to. What would you do in his shoes? Does he have something up his sleeve? Never assume that the other guy is dumb. Always be aware of things that he could do to beat you and try to be prepared for them.
