Hey.
So in all my time of playing EvE (started in 2006, only actually been subbed for maybe 2 years of that...) I've done mainly PvE. The only PvP I've ever actually done is gang PvP with my corps.
So I've decided it's cool and fun to gang PvP but I want to learn to solo pvp, because I felt like I was just being carried doing gang stuff and I wasn't learning. It felt 'ingenuine' for me...
So I'm grabbing frigates and going to Faction Warfare places to fight, like Hysera etc.. The process of me finding stuff to fight goes something like this...
1 - Set route of waypoints in FW systems to bounce around in
2 - Choose a ship (this is hard for me, I'll explain after)
3 - when I get to system I'll check local to see how many of each militia / corp / alliance so I can see who is together, potentially
4 - warp to 100km from any complexes and D-scan inside of them. If there's a frig or something inside I check their ship name and decide whether to fight them or not. (I'm still not sure what exactly I can fight... because I just get raped by everything, atm)
5 - If no targets warp to next system, repeat from step 3
In fights I tend to try to D-scan to see if any of their buddies are coming in, but the fights rarely last long enough anyway.
The biggest problem for me I think is what ships to use...
I can fly Minmatar Frigates lvl 5 with T2 guns and T2 tank etc. Thermodynamics to lvl 3. I can't use boosters yet.
At the moment it just seems Minnie frigs aren't favored for this stuff, I tried to 1v1 an Atron in my Slasher earlier (tracking disruptor, orbit @ 500m and try to get under his guns?) and got my ass handed to me before I could get through his shields :P. I can fly Gallente Frigs lvl 4, but can't use T2 Hybrid turrets, my Small Hybrid turret skill is lvl 3... but when I fly Gallente ships (that seem to be favored) I still lose, because the other person is using T2 guns.
It seems the only kills I can get are on the farmers in cloaky ****-fits.
Has anyone had any luck with Minnie frigs doing this stuff? I'd try the Breacher but my missile skills are POOR |
