Obviously, I know the number varies, and I know that if you gear a character specifically towards PvP, the number would be lower than a more generic character.
Still, I'm just curious about how many skill points people had when they started on a more PvP career?
Also, what would you consider must have skills before people get involved in serious PvP, or is it just have fun and figure out what you need later?

I started pvping in t1 cruisers, with a bunch of other people. I think I had like... 600-700k SP? I'd say the only must haves are the pre reqs for a warp scrambler and a microwarpdrive, and and a racial frig to 3. After that, you can fly a tackler frig. Anything from that on is improvement or going towards other ships or roles.

Started PvPing within 2 weeks of starting to play the game. You started with 800k SPs at that time.
SPs are not a barrier to PvP.
That grey mush between folk's ears is always the culprit.

My first PvP experience happened not long after I joined my first corp. I had somewhere in the range of 500k ~ 1 mil SP. Long story short, because of my inexperience and lack of skills I was relegated to "tackle duty" in a T1 frigate (which I promptly lost wandering away from everyone else) and "meatshield duty" in a Thorax (which I lost in a gate camp soon after I got it)
Like the last guy said, all you really need as prerequisites for PVP are a microWarpdrive, warp disruptor, and guns. Beyond that, PvP is defined according to your tastes (Tank and Gank, E-war, Skirmish-warfare). "Just because I look like an idiot doesn't mean I am one." ~Unknown |

Define "started." I flew around Amamake in a Breacher a couple days after starting EVE, so less than 1 mil SP. I didn't kill anything until I'd joined FW, which was probably around 1-1.5 mil, got my first solo kill a couple days later. Yay for thrashers. _________ My name is Pater! |

Edited by: Liang Nuren on 02/02/2010 22:37:54 My first PVP experience was at ~850-900K SP. I recently started an alt and started at about 100K SP. SP is not what's important in PVP. Must have skills: - Propulsion Jamming 1 - Racial Weapon System 1 - Racial Frigate 1

I started PvP the day after I became a capsuleer. At the time it was merely shooting at can flippers, and I lost many fights. But I learned quickly how to evaluate a fight and run from the ones I couldn't win :)
I also learned just how many times a Merlin can warp around a system without approaching stargates or stations in fifteen minutes! [Aussie players: join channels ANZAC or AUSSIES] |

Around 15m SP in a completely broken character with horrible skills. I was really quite terrible, sold the character around 25m SP, created Lexa, PvPed basically the first day with her, haven't looked back. -------------------------------------------

I think it utimately depends on what your ambitions are. If you just want some casual, fun, cheap pvp then alot of what the others have said is quite true. You dont need 10's of millions SP's to get started, just some basic skillz and some cheapo fits and you can be having a blast in no time. However the more ships you can fly and the T2 items you can slap on your hull the funner it gets.

I think I was at about 3m SP when I joined FW after getting bored of running missions. Started with flying Rifters and Merlins and I've worked my way up to BSs since then.

Edited by: Vrabac on 03/02/2010 02:05:13 Uh, made the char just before the tier 2 bc /tier 3 bs / wtz introduction, had something stupid like 50k sp. Went into low sec in a focused beam harbinger with lot of t1 small drones that I could have 3 or so out at a time in about 2 weeks. So what could it have been, 200-300k or something. Immagine the state of my learnings lol. With some brief breaks I can say I never looked back.
Was epic, we landed into some belt where punisher was ratting, my friend in an artillery dual rep afterburning hurricane instapops him, I get frozen or something and instead of pod end up warp disupting some blood npc frig, so missed that mail too. Then we killed a mining omen but npcs got the final blow and insolent bastard never sent us the mail so my first actual kill didn't get recorded.
Oh yeah I also remember running into Intigo's hurricane maybe a month later, he popped the guy that tackled him (the same afterburning artillery hurricane from previous story, this time in a damping speed modless bufferless arbitrator), but we got there in time with me in maller and another guy in lachesis who damped him to like 2 or 3 km locking range so we spent the next few mins breaking him with our combined 200 dps, lachesis had some t1 launchers and drones iirc. You were pretty frustrated and raged about ewar being gay.
Bleh good times. Every hull repping cargo expanded catalyst was a new experience and I was positive astarte was something terrible and hid on a mere sight of one.

Edited by: Kessiaan on 03/02/2010 05:46:14 I had around 12 million when I first got big into pvp. The big caveat to that is those SPs were almost entirely industry-oriented. I think the only T2 weapon system I could use was drones.
I got into pvp because FW was shiny and new at the time. I died horribly in crapfit Vexors a couple of times, shipped down to Tristans, fit up about a dozen the exact same way, parked them in Villore, and off I went, never to return to my old mining habits.
Skillpoints are not a barrier to pvp. Your skills as a player, your knowledge of game mechanics, and your patience are what will make or break you. Especially in lowsec - T1 cruisers are very effective solo ships, as are interceptors, and neither requires many skillpoints to fly at its fullest potential. Battlecruiser gangs are also common and also require fairly few skillpoints. RRBS do require quite a bit of training but you need practice with the smaller hulls or you're going to be terrible, so when you step into it you'll be ready.
Even to this day I still prefer plain T1 hulls (and my Taranis :D). You see a lot of people in lowsec trying to solo in HACs, command ships, fancy faction frigs - they're all good ships but they cost so much that you have to let a lot of potentially good fights slip by because you just can't afford a lot of losses.
The key for me to being successful has been very tight specialization. I flew the aforementioned Tristan for damn near six months just training basic fitting skills to V, gunnery skills, some missile skills, skills for a bunch of T2 mods, etc. Eventually I moved up to Assault Ships and Interceptors, then trained up medium guns and cruisers V and started flying Thoraxes a lot, then large hybrids and BS V and all the gunnery support skills to V which let me add my Megathron to the list of ships I fly reguarly, then drone skills so I could fly a domi. Training for a Moros now, mostly because my corp wants me too, then I'm going to finish up my BC skills. The point is I've trained almost 30 million skillpoints since I switched over to being mostly pvp-oriented and I can still only fly a handful of ships, but those ships I do fly perform close to 100% of their theoretical abilities.

I pretty much started PvPing within my first 2 months of playing.... it was just a defend the home thing at first (I was living in nullsec at the time), but I started PvPing seriously with around 4.5 mil SP in Faction War.

PVPed my first day out. lol went inot low sec in a rookie ship an got into a fight iwth a bunch of frigs. lost amny ships casue i didnt know wat the **** i ws doin an noone taught me anythin so i learned everythin the hard way. which explains my VERY long loss list. but recently i am up to 4M sp, 75 to 80% of which is PVP oriented skills. have started gettin mroe kills an am now an assest in PVP rather then a drag. frankly i would suggest that to be effective in PVP u need about 2.5 to 3M sp. MWD, high gun/missle skills, an EM warfare skills are wats necessary.

10+ million SP,
Was a lowsec mission runner from the start though, didnt feel like pvp'ing because I was constantly reminded in newbie chat that I was outclassed by all the other people with tons of more SP than I did. So I just ran the second I saw a non npc enter the overview.
Anyways, on the verge of missioning boredom, i amassed enough isk to replace a fitted bc 100x over and thought 'hey, i have enough isk to not care about losses, so why not'. So, I joined a nullsec corp and just flew executioner - initial tackle roles . Still do and I find it the most fun. All you need is the skill needed to fit warp disruptors and some good support skills to do well in pvp.
