Have had our first wardec because a bunch of gate camping Prats took offence to me breaking through their camp so thought now would be a time to try out some lowsec ratting and a bit of PvP.
And I fully expect a "oh look another noob complaining about how hard the game is, how about you STFU and HTFU and go back to being care bear and leave the fighting to the proper players."
I don't wanna, and I'm not.
But.
The whole experience is becoming stupidly frustrating, I go rat in 0.3 0.2 no problems. Make 400k and someone comes along and blows up my caracal, loose 14m get 7m insurance, net profit -6.6m.
Go back, refit, and repeat.
I have a tank that lasts all of 30-40 seconds against pilots that have DPS far in excess of mine, pilots who can warp scram me from 25km, TWENTY FIVE ******* KM.
And people wonder why the majority of players quit after 3 month?
I read fitting guides, watch tutorials, scribble down tactics and plans while on the train, and NOTHING helps to even remotely improve my chances.
Because the only thing to do when your a mostly 6m sp Indi character who can fly ravens on leve 3 missions is sit and stare at roids.
The cliff has hit and I'm not liking it. How can you get over the cliff so not to be basically a target for everything else in the universe?
I think your problem is that you want to be a pvper but spent 3 months carebearing before you started. All the time you have spent in eve not pvping is completely irrelevant, you are in just the same situation a day 1 noob who went into pvo from the start is in except you are flying a more expensive ship and learned bad habits shooting npcs.
You should never pvp in your pve ship regardless of how much sp you have, its just dumb. A caracal is perfect for lo sec ratting, but when someone enters system with you you should warp to a safe spot and hide, not wait for them to come kill you.
You should have completely different ships, set ups and mindset for pve and pvp. Really you should be using t1 frigates till you have grasped the basics, say till you have 10 kills to your name? lo sec is a bit dangerous for learning pvp, the ideal scenario is a war dec, pity you wasted that, not that being war decced by gate campers makes any sense. |
