Edited by: Belkadan on 15/03/2010 16:38:29 pro tip:
That's why RvB lets people come and go as they please. Wanna quit for a couple weeks and grind isk, go for it.
Anyways, I'm in agreement with Orion in repetition, and actually doing something teaches you much faster than theorizing about it, or EFT'ing it. Learn a lesson from every loss, and don't make the same mistakes as the folks you blow up.

Originally by: Birdman Ravo Edited by: Birdman Ravo on 15/03/2010 16:09:48 I left RVB because the wardecs kept coming one after another. Like someone was announcing RVB on the forums over and over and attracting them.
I lol'd. Making very thinly veiled recruitment posts in the wrong forum might just do that. Since people come here to discuss, oh I don't know, tactics maybe, not to look for a new corp. Maybe all those 3rd party wardecs are really just people telling you to post in the proper forum Orion? How many ships and implants has your dogged refusal to follow the rules, or your 'clever' circumvention of them, cost your flock?

Edited by: KoffeeKup on 16/03/2010 00:34:39 Can we all just stop bashing Orion cause he put a post in a forum that sounds like he's recruting? All i can see is that he is suggesting several great places for people to learn tactics and Pvp skills even if they are just the basics. He is stating that personal expirience is the best way to learn tactics for Pvp. How the hell can you pvp if you've been a carebear miner for 4 years? What he is saying is that you need to learn pvp best from corps that are constantly fighting and sparing with other players. Who gives a **** if RvB posts in the forums a lot? I don't see any of you trolls doing anything but *****. If you don't like it, don't read it. It's just one freaking post, just ignore it. Just don't start harassing players because they have something useful to say and contribute.
I really couldn't agree more with Orion. I only started getting better at pvp when i joined up with some guys that ganked me and some friends. It really is just practice time that contributes most to your overall performance in combat. No way i could kill a trained Army vet with 10 years combat exp. even if i did have a great gun, how can i do anything when he knows more about combat?
Again, all Orion did was suggest joining a corp that does this stuff daily 24/7, and clear up something about RvB's TACTICS that people seem to not know about.
So **** off trolls, and go plug up another forum.

Nuke him from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. You should think outside the box a little more...

Not sure if this post real or not, but still will help for anyone else thats curious...
Send tell for any real details but two things to really consider on a Dramiel -
Speed needs to be 6000 ++ and DPS , DPS, DPS
Your not gonna tank, your not the best tackler, your the best solo ship in game -- so use specific range, and burn them down all the while maintaining a speed that is almost impossible to hit..
Skill plus know how equals EXPERIENCE Go Blues! |

Ok, fine, every other day.... just don't look at them if you don't like them.....
Second, who the hell has a god damn nuke lol, i dont even have a really good gun to fight him with, but how the hell can you get a nuke? you related to kim jang whats his name? and one nuke on one guy? sounds like overkill, and idk how bad it would harm the ozone or whatever, but i like your thinking anyway. just nuke him from orbit and then just shell the area in the fallout zone to be safe . The millions dieing of radiation poisoning will thank you .
oh, and is this enough smilies? or should i just make a wall of them?

Intigo your probably one of the best pilots in all of EVE, Ive seen the Killboard... he he
Why you always always picking on me?? 
A Dramiel is not a tackle, it can tackle technically, but to say its a tackle would be a tremendous overstatement...
and Its in no way shape or form a TANK --
Quote: So what part of those two statements were wrong, please enlighten me?
-- If anyone can show us how to use em in that way it would be you

I don't get where all the hostility is coming from. I mean, around two months or so ago, there were five active RvB threads on the W&T boards, but now, there is only one. They are definitely not spamming the forums now. Where is this RvB kneejerk reaction coming from?

Something I learned off the MD forum is, when you step on someone else's toes or you find and use their cash cow, they act like that.

Ignore all the ******s that are whining about your posts Orion. Though I don't have any personal experience with RVB, I think it's a cool idea and gives people a good place to start learning PVP. I'm even thinking about joining up or wardecing you guys just to have some fun. Keep the forum posts coming Orion, if for no other reason to see all the whiners get ****y.

I for one have to back up what has been said in the op, even if it sounds like a recruitment thread its true. I havent been flying with the RvB members that long and I already have more kills then most small alliances get in a month, and I'm loving it.
I used to freak out in small and large pvp engagements, I would mash buttons and sometimes lock the wrong target, and you could forget anything about controlling range or transversal, hell I didnt even know what that was.
Now that I have been in so many pvp battles with red feds and my personal favorites the war targets (get to bring out the big guns with those)not only am I very comfortable, but confident in my pvp ability, so much so that I have started to recently take the reins of the FC job and doing a decent job from what I have been told.
I would have NONE of this exerpiance if it were not for RvB and the people that make it alot of fun i.e. Orian Shadowmaker, Silias Cov, Green, Serand, Del and Morph you guys rock. So in retrospect to those who bash RvB in the forum, talk is cheap if you hate us that much then just war dec us, I for one would love to see a few of you on the battlefield where your skillz at grammer will get you nothing cuz we all know forum warriors are just full of .....

Edited by: Viibl Triibl on 17/03/2010 20:18:52 I have to echo the sentiments about practice and repetition. One thing I learned very early - in 1v1 or 1v2 fights - is that you can win or lose the fight in the first 5 seconds, especially if you are fit for certain ranges.
The only way to learn how to fly your ship, the timing for direction and speed changes and the nuances of momentum is to do it. Over and over and over. RvB provides that, among so much else.
On an unrelated note, there was a time when the war decs spiked and we weren't used to it yet - war targets were disruptive. I feel like RvB has gotten far more savvy at dealing with them in a short time such that, now, they're pretty irrelevant unless we decide to engage them. Which can, by the way, be fun for everyone. It's like a spice on the RvB experience.

Hey, Orion. You are absolutely correct about the whole experience thing and I have really enjoyed my time in Blue Republic (and now Red Fed). However, I think these posts trying to make up reasons for why you block ECM are getting a bit dull, and are rather unnecessary. You know why? Everybody knows the reason you don't allow ECM.
Here's the thing, everybody and their mother knows ECM is the best form of ewar atm. They also know it is strongest in small gangs. Many people believe ECM to be overpowered and cheap, the ones who think it's balanced generally use the following arguments, ECCM on BS's, ECM is counter to RR gangs, ECM is less useful in large fleets, ECM ships get primaried, you sacrifice dps in your gang, bigger blobs, etc.. These are all valid arguments.
However, in RvB the fact is almost all the pvp is small to medium gang vs gang. Every fight is a known quantity with the majority of ships being frigates, destroyers, or cruisers all ships with low sensor strength. If RvB allowed ECM it would become an ECM fest because the type of pvp RvB engages in is the EXACT type of pvp ECM is best in. Simply put, because of the nature of RvB pvp allowing boosted ECM (which is the technical restriction I believe, basically no blackbirds/scorpions) would result in everybody twiddling their thumbs while jammed during every RvB match. Which would kill the point.
RvB bans boosted ECM for the same reason they don't allow you to bring a Dominix to a frig v frig fleet battle. This is obvious to anyone who isn't braindead, so ignore the trolls. Otherwise nice post.

I agree helm,
With all the war targets, and Deep 0.0 ops ECM use is way up anyway so its not an issue for sure...
Jump out of your comfort zone guys, find some PVP any way you can get it.. We are having a blast in our little sandbox this side of the Eve universe - and you can too --
Its worth it... Any style will work 
Even if you dont stay a PVP'er at least try it on for size and see if the shoe fits so to speak -- thats all we are saying
GIVE PVP A CHANCE!
See ya on the Dark Side, Orion Shadowmaker  Go Blues! |
