I had a fight and I saw that drone is doing dmg like 40 HP or sth like that so I thought "I can take it, I have a huge buffer after all", right? Wrong! Guy was flying outside range of my guns sending missiles to me and I could not get him closer. When I finally popped a drone (it was like "light bulb over my head" moment) it was too late to GTFO or do anything else than spam warp button to get my pod out. I read about such situations and I thought I knew what to do but when it came to a fight I just made a mistake. But now, after this engagement I know why you should pop drones first. That is why getting out of a station and into fights is important if you fancy pvp aspect of Eve, you just have to lose a ship to know how it feels like and to know how hard it is to apply what you read in moment when that knowledge is needed. To be honest I probably lost more than 20 ships, did not kill anything yet but I had fun and that is worth any amount of ISK.
PvP doesn't require you be solo, in fact if you are 9/10 times you are placing yourself at a disadvantage. Beacause a top "solo" PvPers have a falcon alt in system and a booster alt in a POS and then NEVER leave the one system they live in. So sure you can solo, but for the most part its a matter of getting lucky, and I don't have the patience personally to spend 5 hours hunting to maybe get a kill or two and more than likely get run over by a small gang.
If you can get a MWD web and a scram on a Rifter.....there is a place for you in most gangs, better if you can fly an interceptor...or even a bomber.
I much prefer small gang stuff myself and I learned it mostly by just trying random crap until I started to buy a clue (its all I have to this day really). |

Or at least be a hell of a lot more patient.
...that was my gripe in low sec....all the damn hunting and waiting around.

I did....I moved to the deep end of the pool I'm having a blast out here. |

The 20 punisher plan is actually what inspired me to try something similar. I haven't read through the entire blog yet, but it shows just how much you can learn through trial and error and looking at what you could have done better.
so far I've got a few fit ideas.
one is a speed tanked incursus with about 130 dps and 2600 ehp
one is a dual nuet tristan with about 90 dps and 4200 ehp
the last one I came up with for when I feel like being slow is a vexor with about 270 dps, small blasters, and 2 med nuets.
I don't have the fits handy right now. I'll post them next time I get a chance.
Train up heavy drones and you can get the DPS to around 500-600 with blasters. |
