NPSI (Not Purple Shoot it) has been around in Eve since 2006, however in recent years public PvP communities and events have greatly increase in both popularity and frequency. As the best kept secrets in Eve, these groups provide PvP opportunities to players of all experience levels without any kind of commitment or obligation. This thread will help you find these groups, find out how you can participate, and get answers to any questions you may have about the NPSI playstyle.
A reminder that none of the groups shown below require you to be in a certain corporation of alliance to participate.
Open PvP Communities
RvB Ganked
Channel: "RvB Ganked" When: Saturdays and Special Events
RvB Ganked has been roaming into Lowsec and 0.0 every Saturday for over two years, lead by CSM member Mangala Solaris and various Guest FCs. Roams are usually based on a theme that changes every week and announced in advance. Although originally dominated by members from RvB Ganked, the roams now see widespread participation.
Spectre Fleet
Channel: "Spectre Fleet" When: Everyday and Special Events
Spectre Fleet is the newcomer on the NPSI scene, having formed in January of this year. Spectre Fleet boasts a command team of over 50 FCs and runs 2-3 impromptu fleets run everyday, with large fleets and special events scheduled days in advance. The main ships flown are easily insured T1 frigates-battlecruisers that are designed as part of a doctrine.
Redemption Road
Channel: "Redemption Road" When: Sundays
Redemption Road is run by Greygal, former member of Agony Unleashed. Primarily an AUTZ community, Redemption Road runs scheduled fleets primarily on weekends, and often in the AUTZ. The weekly "Sunday Sinners" roams occur on (you guessed it!) Sundays at 1900.
Other NPSI Groups
Agony Empire
Forums: http://www.agony-unleashed.com/index.php?/forum/2-enrollment/ Wiki: http://www.agony-unleashed.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
"Agony is an independent small-gang PVP corp that has offered 0.0 PVP classes for over 6 years. Nearly 10,000 unique students have taken their classes. After taking a class, students become alumni and are welcome to join alumni roams for free."
The Tuskers
Forums: http://www.the-tuskers.info/viewforum.php?f=54
"[The Tuskers] organise a weekly public roam every Friday which consists of between 10 and 20 pilots who head out to see what trouble they can find. Anyone not in fleet is a valid target GÇô personal standings are put to one side, with pilots shooting their own corp/alliance mates willingly."
Live Events
Website: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Live_events_(Chat_channel)
Largely thought to be an official CCP run channel, this player run group became well known after it was mentioned in a devblog. This channel provides information on events run by CCP as well as occasionally forming a fleet for the event itself.
Other Resources
Eve-Events.net
Website: http://eve-events.net/
A new service, Eve-Events.net attempts to provide a one-stop shop for all public events taking place in Eve. Information is distributed through the EveEventsNet twitter account. They are currently looking for volunteers to help out.
CCP Live Events
Twitter: https://twitter.com/EVE_LiveEvents
The actual official live events channel is simply called "Events" but no one seems to use it. Instead, when CCP employees form a fleet that players can actually engage, the announcement is made both on the official forums and devblogs, then kept updated through the Live Events twitter.
Other Special Events
On occasion, certain individuals will host community wide events that range from kill-my-super to a simple frigate free-for-all. These are extremely sporadic and (usually) tons of fun. When one of these events is announced, I'll update this space here.
//END
If you have any questions about how NPSI functions or any of the specific groups, feel free to ask. If you know of an NPSI community or would like your own group to be added to this list, please send me a mail.This thread was shamelessly recreated from this forum post by ROXGenghis of Agony Empire, a fellow GDI. Additional information stolen from Mangala's article on Crossing Zebras. Can't shoot blues if you don't have any. Long Live NPSI. |

NPSI fleets are a great way to get into PvP if you're not in a corp, if you are in a corp with a lack of people to PvP with or if you just want a change of pace.
It's also a good way to learn how different people PvP and what tactics can be used to overcome different situations.
This definitly needs a sticky (as said above, if not here, somewhere). Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person." |

I was hoping we could get Violet Squadron added to the list in the original post. We're a small gang focused npsi community that focuses on fleets of two squads and smaller. If we get more interest than that at one time we'll split into multiple fleets to do different things. Our channel is "Violet Squadron".
Thanks Jayne!
