PVP Frigates: 10 million ISK or so a pop when lost
The willingness to PVP: Priceless
Thats pretty much how most people are going to look at a newer player PVPing. You're doing great. Go lose more ships. To echo some advice start practicing picking targets. You'll catch that solo BS or attack battlecruiser soon :)

If it makes you feel better, the absolute isk numbers are so low that it would be extremely easy to change that 9.33%. Your losses are only at half a billion. Go suicide a couple of exhumers and it will all be better.

The key to enjoying eve PVP as a new player is not learning how to kill efficiently, but rather how to die gracefully.
Every exploded spaceship is a gift. Even your own. |

And here's what's disheartened me the most: http://eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=14446759.33%. I know what your going to say, killboards aren't important, just have fun, etc... But honestly, having such a dreadful ratio is really making me feel like I'm failing massively without any improvement :/ I've been soloing, with the odd fleet, but still have the bullshit that is my 9.33% looming over me. Someone tell me to stop focusing on it so much -.-
Lots of junk replies here and some good advice mixed in.
"having fun?" - well I'd guess you're a tad disappointed or this thread wouldn't exist. As such, let's put some things in perspective.
Having an active killboard is far more important than any win/loss ratio.
As such, your KB is showing activity. The loss side shows that even when you are getting thumped on, you keep going out there. You're not one of those who'll run away whining if they lose a couple ships in a row.
That has value.
You also show you are getting better the more you operate. This, again, has value. It shows you are both willing and able to adapt as you learn, even if that is at the loss of your ship - you seem willing to put forth the effort to learn.
This type of willingness to go at it... Coupled with some questionable fits... Teaching someone how to fit a ship better for the role it fills tends to be fairly trivial vs trying to get someone who's willing to risk it.
Net effect: Your board doesn't "suck". It doesn't show someone who'll run at the first signs of real fight. and it does show you're improving the more you do it.
Keep at it, you are getting better and it is noticeable. |
