You're here because you want to venture into 0.0 space (nullsec) to join in on the excitement you hear about, but you don't have any training. You know you'll die.
Most of the other nullsec corps and alliances will offer you training only if you join their 'cause', whether that's PVP or industry. That can be daunting for someone that doesn't want to be part of some 'cause'...
We understand your dilemma.
What's the answer?
OUCH is the answer. It's the Open University of Celestial Hardship. We have very experienced trainers to teach you how to survive and fight in nullsec. We have no 'cause' other than to teach you nullsec survival and PVP.
Our motto: kill more, die less.
What does that mean for me?
You're going to lose ships (it's why we ensure you're only using cheap, expendable Tech 1 frigates while you're doing your training). You're probably going to get podded quite a few times along the way too. We don't guarantee your survival in nullsec, but we do guarantee to teach you how to minimize your losses along the way.
It's brutal out there, but when you're a member of OUCH, you're with a group of friendly, relaxed people who understand your fears. We're there to help you learn how to survive in nullspace. We will teach you everything you need to know.
What kind of training will I get?
Student training focuses on a number of essential skills in a detailed yet practical maner:
- Overview settings
- EVE client settings and interface
- Bookmarking
- Using the Directional Scanner
- Tackling
- Weaponry
- Fleet Ops
- Hunter/Prey
Once you graduate from OUCH you can choose to become a permanent member if you want, or you're free to move on. If you stay, you will have the opportunity to move into more advanced hulls and roles and receive advanced PVP training, including, for example, Interceptors, EWAR, Recons, Covert Ops, and support ships.
Student Training Schedule
Our training sessions are usually held every week on Saturdays and Sundays at 19:00 EVE time in hisec or on SISI. We promote these sessions with our forum, eve mails and in-game calendar.
Are there any minimum requirements to join OUCH?
No pre-requisites are required to join OUCH. No minimum number of skill points, API checks, interviews, etc. We truly are an "open" training corporation. Our students have ranged from one day old trial accounts to players who were with Eve since Beta. We accept anyone with a pulse.
However, to make your OUCH experience meaningful, you must be willing to have or accept the following:
- A desire to learn how to survive in nullsec and develop your PvP skills.
- Do your homework and abide by our corporate policies and restrictions.
- You will not, and should not, be fighting from day one. Like when you learn boxing, it's the gym first and arena second.
- Graduates in the Operations Dept (PVP) must be involved in at least four fights every month.
- When a student graduates and decides to stay in OUCH they must join one of our two Departments: Training or Operations (PVP)
- Be active on Teamspeak (for voice communications) when you're logged on.
- Sign up to our forum and keep up to date with information and discussions.
OUCH is a nullsec survival and PvP training corp. You're expected to be practicing what you've learned, and if you're not practicing, then we hope that's because you've learned it so well you're teaching someone instead. Being on Teamspeak will allow you to chat with other corp and alliance members, and participate in more training and PvP operations. |

OUCH does exactly what it claims. Join us and learn null sec survival and have fun doing it.
OUCH takes all players. There is no SP requirement. There is no interview. There is no queue to wait in you will get accepted usually within 24 hours. All you have to have is a willingness to learn. The whole process up to graduation just has you flying a t-1 frigate. |

Great post! I'll admit I have been drawn in... Hey there, Im new to Eve and absolutely loving it so far. Currently I am in highsec space going through my initial and early missions and am trying to grasp the many concepts this game holds...
Ive been doing as much research about the game as I can but i'll admit, there is A LOT! Kinda overwhelming.
Im lookintg for a Corporation to call my home, Im not the sort to receive training and then just up and leave. I am a loyal a mature adult who is looking for a team to work with.
Your post here describes the player I am aspiring to become, and so far my training has been put all towards being a soldier.
I definitely would like to be considered to become an applicant in OUCH!
Thanks in advance for your time.

Our training consists of live, hands-on instruction with a qualified trainer in a small group setting. Nullsec/PvP skills are built from the ground up. There is no cost and no strings attached, other than your willingness to abide by our policies and regulations while in OUCH. The student life cycle is 90 days, though many graduate in a much shorter time.
Once you've graduated you move on (we also have a recruitment thread for graduating students in which corps interested in our grads have a recruitment post) or you can apply to become a permanent member of OUCH. Permanent members are required to help train students, participate in PvP ops, and have access to Advanced Training Courses that focus on advanced hulls and PvP roles.
Our basic goal is simple: Help folks increase the fun factor of EVE by removing the roadblocks to PvP life in nullsec. |

Ever traveled into 0.0, landed way off the gate you thought you warped to, lost your ship, then found yourself admiring your new clone back in high-sec?
Then maybe OUCH is for you. Come learn how to safely travel and survive in lowsec/0.0.
Even if you are not interested in PvP, learning how PvPers think will help you evade them when you meet them in 0.0.
Be careful though. Ruining peoples day by blowing up their ships can be addictive.

Would recommend these guys to anyone looking to learn about PVP. Lots of opportunities for kills, a refreshing attitude towards newer players and a great way to experience 0.0. Training provided by experienced players and PVP addicts with a nice forum containing loads of information to get you started. Unlike many other training corps they live in an exciting part of New Eden and regularly fleet up to practice what they teach. |

Training curricula is continuing to expand. New courses now offered for advanced piloting techniques. Although I've been living with OUCH in null sec for over a year, the new Interceptor course is showing me just how little I really know. In only the first session, I have learned techniques that would have cost me at least 20 ship losses to learn n my own.

Not much of a forum junkie, but I wanted to get my (obviously biased) opinion in.
OUCH is a great start for those who want more than carebearing it up in highsec. You join, you learn, you kill, you learn, you die, you learn, and you kill again.

This sounds extremely intriguing. I'm pretty focused on pursuing a CovOps career at this point (with the long-term goal of working in BlackOps), but there seems to be no limit to things I don't know about EvE. I'm comfy traveling about in low-sec, haven't ventured into 0-sec yet.
Where do you expect aspiring members to move to, btw?

You don't need to contact anyone, simply apply. Do an ingame search for Open University of Celestial Hardship (Corporation search), open the info window and click the Apply To Join button at the bottom while in any station. You can also join the chat channel OUCH-UNI and you'll see an info link in the MOTD.
During your student life you won't need anything except T1 frigates, modules and ammo. Which frigates and how they should be fit will be provided once you join.
Remember, if you have have roles with your current corp there's a 24-hour waiting period before your app can be accepted from the time you drop current roles. |

There are some people out there that think that because Eve Online is a game, it shouldn't be taken seriously.
However, your choices in Eve have consequences, and those consequences have an impact on your assets. Assets that you worked damn hard to build up. Assets worth millions, or hundreds of millions - even billions! You value these assets, and you would rather not lose them if you can help it. Your assets are a result of your significant investment of time and resources in this game, and you take that very seriously indeed.
It's all well and good for people to treat Eve as a game, as a joke, but they're usually the ones out there with few assets of their own, while trying to take your hard-earned assets away from you. Usually with extreme force. They have more experience at this than you have at avoiding or preventing them.
That, of course is where OUCH comes in. We understand how serious you are about your own personal investments of time and resources, and so we take our training very, very seriously.
Your time with OUCH is a continued investment into your survival, and the survival of your assets. We teach you:
- how to survive travelling in nullsec
- what dangers to look out for and avoid
- and how to fight
It's that 'how to fight' bit that's pretty important too. Not only do you want to protect your assets by being aware of the dangers out there when you're moving them around, but there will always come a time when you might have to fight to protect them.
OUCH will teach you how to setup combat ships, how to use them appropriately, how to work in fleets with corp-mates, and how to kick ass!
We take ass-kicking very seriously.
So if you're looking for an organisation who takes YOUR investments seriously, then consider joining OUCH today. |

In the old days we were all noobs and didn't really have any training program except "go into 0.0 and try to do stuff":
And this is what happens when you just go out there without a clue.
We're still mostly noobs, so how come our killboard now looks like this?
Because we now have a training program.
Join OUCH, and learn how to survive. |

When I first joined OUCH about a year ago, our motto was: "You're going to die. A lot. But along the way you'll learn how to die less."
Back then we basically just gave our fellow noobs some great forums full of useful information, and then told them to get out there and learn by dying in cheap ships.
We've come a long way since then. We now have formal training programs with top-notch trainers. We focus on small fleet PvP. We teach tactics on how to WIN engagements, rather than simply how to get away. We are now even offering advanced piloting courses for graduates who choose to stay in OUCH.
To reflect how far we have evolved, we've adopted a new motto: "Kill more, die less."
The new motto fits. Check our killboard. Talk with our respected adversaries in Curse. Join us.
Fly boldly, Psi |

OUCH takes nullsec skills seriously, not to suck the fun out of EVE but to show you the excitment EVE has to offer once you're squared away.
Since you are expected to attend training sessions, are restricted to what ships and fits you can fly, and where you can fly and when, it might not be for the casual arcade gamer. But, if you want to explore how adenalin addictive this game can be, it may very well be for you. |

If you consider sitting on a drag bubble on the same gate in the same system, day in day out, for the foreseeable future to be a great way to learn how to PvP then these guys are the to join!
You get bonus cookies if you:
- Bring ECM to their already ECM heavy fleets, don't take any risks;
- Avoid risk at any cost, and;
- Have no imagination.
Yes, I am bitter, but I also honestly think that these guys are a bad option for any noobie looking to learn how to PvP with skill and style. |

This is hilarious.
'Dammit, you guys killed me. Why can't you PVP with skill and style instead of teaching efficient combat techniques? I'd have a better chance of winning or even just surviving if you taught your noobs to fight with skill and style. I hate you so much.'
We don't claim to 'teach with skill and style'. We claim to teach pilots how to survive in nullsec, and how to fight. We do that with a high level of efficiency. The people that don't like how we teach are usually the ones that end up on the wrong end of our weapons because their survival techniques just aren't up to scratch. But that's apparently because OUCH doesn't teach properly, and has nothing to do with their inability to fly properly.
Yeh, right.
It's like those people that call you a loser because you don't want to fight their 20-man fleet with your T1 cruiser. Or those same guys that can't pin you down and kill you because your superior skills allowed you to get away from their pitiful attempts to tackle you and kill you. 'Come back in your T1 cruiser and fight our 20 x T2 ships like a real man!'
I have no time for those people, and neither does OUCH. If you feel the same way, come join OUCH and join in on upsetting people with your 'lack of skill and stye'. |

You got baited, not on the gate or bubble but on a station. Then you went on a rage for a couple of minutes. You chose to engage, you lost a ship...there's nullsec for you Get over it instead of crapping all over people's recruitmentpages...
In nullsec people try to win without dying, thats what OUCH is about....besides agreements people should honour (agreed 1v1 (which we didnt have in spite of your attemps to convo ) or temp blue) there are no rules, good lesson to learn in nullsec... |

In addition to all the training and nullsec operations, we also host a monthly T1 frigate free-for-all. During each FFA we award 140 million isk in prizes plus at least two T2 ships. AND the last man standing takes home the much-coveted OUCH Bloodfest Medal.
All students, graduates and permanent members are invited to participate. Only T1 frigates with meta zero fits. This puts students on a level playing field with graduates and staff members, all to roll in the lolz.
Great fun! Where else can you get a realistic chance to kill an honest-to-god shark like Miss Teri. Or fly a novelty fit with the sole purpose of putting so many damps on Bren that he can barely target his own... nose...
Join us for the lolz. Join us to learn to survive in 0.0. Join us to learn how to WIN in pvp. |

They are truly a top notch training corp. They are such a pain in the a$$ to try and kill that I don't even bother any more. Keep up the good work.

I never would have thought that I was missing out on such a LARGE portion of the EvE gameplay before joining [OUCH] as a student.
Starded playing EvE back in 2005, and yet I have only recently learned SOOOO many new things in each and everyone of their classes!
Their Null sec training has made me realize that, even after the countless years of playing this game, and the MANY things I had learned before(and thought I was good at), that I was still just a sheep amongst wolves!... and that I could improve and have LOADS of fun doing it.
Stop being a sheep... Come and join the Wolves! And learn what it feels like to be part of a real Pack!
New applicants are joining everyday! After graduation, those who stay become FANTASTIC wingmen, while those who leave become AMAZING opponents! Everyone matters!

Great corp to learn from. It's one thing to want to learn null sec pvp, but it's another thing entirely learning how to operate and survive in null sec. Ouch will teach you all this, yes, the pvp, surviving, travelling and daily life part of null. So by coming along to learn from Ouch, you will learn from some great trainers in a structured environment. Just imagine being trained to travel the null sec universe, or learning the proper way to engage and disengage, how to get past bubble camps etc, think of the confidence that would give you. Here's the neat part, they actually care about you- the student.

Well, I wish it were so simple to convince you that it really is that simple of a decistion. I know there's a lot of flash and confusion out there for new pilots in game; and I know there's long-time carebears that want out of that mess.
Whichever end of the spectrum you're on, OUCH is the place for you. They're not going to offer you any pretense, nobody will tell you that it will be easy. You will learn how to exist out there in NULL, you will have to put in effort, there are classes, I'm no quiz kid and i made it through (so far), so if u got drive, u can do it.
Like most things worth doing, it's no cakewalk, but it's worth every drip of effort.
I just completed my graduation run this morning, and I have to say that I felt alive while going after the objectives, every step was more learning. I can also tell you that the feeling when you finish, is awesome. You realize what you've learned and are in near perfect position to really start learning.

Join OUCH!
This is, by far, THE BEST entry level program to get you into Null sec and joining in on the fun. From beginner to advanced, everyone learns something new here. We have an amazing group of people participating every day, as well as a fantastic staff who will teach you the ropes, make sure you have the right skills to survive out there, and set you on the right path to greater things.
Graduate, and maybe apply to join the Ops team, where you will have the opportunity to perfect your art of war, share with others what you have learned, and have the chance to be part of those who are making a difference in this game.
And remember: Null sec is a VERY scary place... but it feels SOOOO good being the one doing the scaring!... ... Try it... you just might like it! 
Come join us now!

Remember the time you jumped into null into the middle of a gate camp? You decloaked and tried to warp away, but you died so fast that you didn't even know what killed you? We'll give you the tools to try to avoid that camp.
And even if you don't make it the next time, you will have the awareness to know exactly what happened.  Life On The Bubble |

Why do we suggest you join OUCH?
NOT to bolster our numbers. The student training cycle is 90 days max, you have an additional 30 days after you graduate to decide what you're going to do next, and we fully expect the vast majority of our students to move on to a PvP niche or return to the corp/alliance that referred them to us.
NOT for us to make more ISK. We charge nothing for the training we provide.
We suggest you join OUCH for two simple reasons: 1. With the proper preparation you'll most likely find that nullsec life can greatly boost the EVE fun factor; 2. Much of EVE is a hand-me-down culture and this is our way of paying back what we've received.
We look forward to working with you. CampoV [AWA-OUCH] Training Director |

Everyone who is considering moving to nullsec from being a highsec player should go through this training corp. Their experience in nullsec survival is vast and their explanations are second to none.

You're welcome, Zacx.
With the holidays coming up, come treat yourself to some null-sec survival and PvP training if it has been on your wishlist for awhile. The best time of my years in EVE has been learning from OUCH and staying to teach others (and popping ships, of course). |

As a recent graduate of the OUCH training programme I really can't emphasise enough what a great introduction to nullsec life it offers.
In a mere two months, I have learnt more about how to survive, and win, all sorts of pvp encounters than I did in all my previous time in EVE.
You will get well-delivered, practical training in surviving in null AND the opportunity to put what you are learning into practice and there really is no better way to learn than by doing.
Finally, I have to say that the trainers are a great bunch of people and made the whole experience fun as well as educational.
tl;dr - KIll more, die less, join OUCH

If you can't follow simple rules and follow the training program we have then OUCH obviously is not for you.
This guy's "brother" from the start stated I already know half of these courses so Ill start in the middle of the program and skip the first half .
How without attending he would know the course material I have no Idea. But I have been through all the courses my self and teach on a different toon.
I hope you read all the posts and see this is the first negative post i've seen.
We accept anyone. Not many requirments except the willingness to learn and follow the program.
Obviously lacking in this guy's "brother. |

So one guy joins and thinks he already knows so much that he doesn't need the training. So why did he join?
But enough about him. OUCH rocks. We teach noobs. We teach experienced carebears. Heck, we even teach experienced PvP'ers who just want to learn our way of playing Eve. 'Cause we don't play Eve the way others do. We have a blast hanging out together in null. It's like duck hunting, but with internet spaceships blowing up in big freakin' balls of ass fire!

OUCH tracks student progress through personal threads on our forum called "Student Folders". Here's a couple of quotes from fanaka's brother's folder.MDK-1 wrote:Background Info: Well I have don't have much experience with PVP in Eve apart from knowing how to avoid being popped by warping to a safe spot. That's why we're here.MDK-1 wrote:Hi, I've looked through the modules and realised that I already know the modules 1 - 5. As I've had help from my brother with those basics.
I will be a module 6 onwards student. How delightful. I guess that MDK and his brother have psychic powers, since our course content is not public.
So when MDK-1 was off doing his own thing in low sec, and some of our instructors asked him if he read the rules, his brother stepped in to set us straight.Quote:[22:29:06] Bren Genzan > MDK [22:29:52] MDK-1 > hello this is mdk's brother i'm sat here watching this, and tbh you need to revise some of your protocol [22:30:02] Bren Genzan > I dont think you're going to work out [22:30:14] Bren Genzan > what protocols do we need to revise? [22:30:26] MDK-1 > stop being ******* ******** for one [22:30:35] Bren Genzan > I'm working on that [22:30:47] Bren Genzan > next [22:30:50] MDK-1 > i'll dock his ship and leave, i'll teach him muself [22:30:56] Bren Genzan > sounds good to me [22:30:57] pufy > don't try too hard bren, i like you ******** OUCH is not for everyone. It's for people who actually want to learn. If that's not your Eve, you're welcome to move on and follow your own path.
But if you want to learn how to operate in null sec space, we might be able to help you. It's your choice to join, to stay and to learn. Life On The Bubble |

OUCH is a great learning corporation.
If you don't know everything just yet, or if you're a total noob, OUCH will show you the right path to survive and become a great or better PVPer. You'll still have to walk the path by yourself, meaning you'll have to read, learn, follow orders and rules. But i'm 100% you'll hear something new that will make you a better PVPer. Because the knowledge in this corp isn't fixed, it's getting better and better every day.
On the other hand if you already know it all and think you came to the end of eve, then ouch maybe isn't for you, since there isn't anything else to teach you. Although you're always welcome to play with us in the bubble. |

Oh! Santa just whispered in my ear and said that anyone who joins OUCH can actually learn how to find their way home WITHOUT him lighting the way! That's pretty cool...
Oh wait, I knew that....
But you should still join OUCH today, 'cause you just KNOW you need to know how to find your way through the darkness out there. We teach you that. And we have Santa's blessing, so you know you're in good hands with us.
And if you can't join OUCH today 'cause you're busy with Xmas, that's ok too! Tomorrow is fine....

This looks interesting. I was carebearing it up for half a year now and started this new character with the intent of moving straight into 0.0. Been living in Utopia/Curse for a while now, but didn't really do much more than ratting so far. I could certainly use an introduction into life in 0.0, as i really want to get into PvP. I do bring the skills to fly Amarr Frigates with T2 lasers and i'd prefer to fly those if possible.
If i like it, i might even move my indy char who has been my main for now into zero, depending on the opportunities i see there.
I think i'll hang around a while in your channel, maybe ask a stupid question or two there. Some i already got: I) How much time would i have to plan for this? Starting at 18:00 or 19:00 Eve time is fine by me, but how long does a lesson go? II) How much time normally passes until a member "graduates"? A month? Two? Half a year? |

OUCH will provide you with the disciplined training required to survive 0.0 sec space. The role of the student here is to learn as one would learn from a Master and the OP's guys that train you here are masters of nullsec survival.
Wipe away your Care Bear tears and come learn the right way and be trained in the Art of War.

So i have done the first section of training with ouch....and it was......
a BLAST definately recomend coming out and joining up for some fun, and learning. been playing a while and the setup they use definately helps out ALOT. all you gotta remember is to approch this like the karate kid. snatch the peble from the masters hand. be humble (even if you know things or think you do) and learn as much as you can.
NOT ONLY THAT but.....
a great group of people to play with. made my eve experience 100 times better! :-) (definately my new home!!!)
also......bump |

"Joining OUCH was the best decision I ever made!"
After 2 and a half months with these guys, I have learned more than I ever thought possible.
OUCH has taken my gameplay to a whole other level. And even now that I myself am teaching classes, I can't wait to login the next day, because I know that I will learn something new. Be it out in space, in the classroom with my students, or just chatting away on TS, you are constantly improving your game here. 
Trust me. There is no better feeling, than looking back, and seeing how much progress you've made, in so little time.
I've gone from feeling like a little fish, stuck in a small claustrophobic pond of constant, unchanging PVE, surrounded by dark and scary waters... To a freakin' Piranah!... Tearing my way through the open waters of lawless space, where ANYTHING can, and does happen!
.... And let me tell you... It is GREAT!!! 
OUCH teaches you all the right tools you'll need to adapt to this ever changing hostile environement, and the lessons learned here will serve you well throughout your EVE carreer, as they can be applied anywhere.
Come join us, and see for yourself. I garantee you'll get something out of it.

The OUCH trainers are simply great at what they do. I cannot spell out how good they are at teaching people null sec survival, learning to operate and live in null is vital, ask any corp in null and they will tell you the same.
It's one thing to get the PVP fever on and quite another learning to live long enough to get to where the PVP is. OUCH will teach you all this in a structured format, Why not give it a go and bring another dimension to your EVE experience? Just think, being able and having the confidence to navigate through null sec, how to fight in null sec and to do it well.
Great corp, very friendly and open and a great bunch of guys to boot  |

I met Bren when he was a brand new player. He wanted the pvp aspect of EVE soon after he started. A friend of mine asked me to help him train these guys. I was with outbreak at the time and didnt have a whole lot of time, but i spent a few nights getting them killed in 0.0. Explaining as much as i could, in that short time, about tactics and the value of having oversized balls. ( http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/1019792/ ) (always good to have friends. ) You could tell he was soaking up the info. I do not claim any credit in what he has learned since then. I have told him the reason that he gets so much hate in local is because he is doing it right.
My name is Bullmastiff. If you are a carebear I want to kill you. If you are a pvper. I want to kill you. If you are not A4D i want to hit you in the face so bad , you give my fist a boner.( http://www.jokeoverflow.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/I-want-to-punch-you-so-bad.jpg). I run a pvp corp, we are advanced in our battle tactics. I support Bren and his group because I get apps from guys just like you wanting to join A4D. Noobs give me anurisms. Thats why I send them to Bren. When I get them back, they are ready for my instruction. If you do not go to these guys first, then this is me and this is you. ( http://fukung.net/v/23251/b98bf7e7562cfe3d94f84d7171643092.gif )
Curse is the ******* of EVE. Its the dirtiest , nastiest place you can find. But, its my *******, and i will **** on you every chance I get. OUCH teaches you how to avoid the dogpiles that i will lay around curse. They do their job so well that half my guys respect what they do, the other half hate their guts. Mission accomplished.
You owe it to yourself to try these guys out, have the patience to endure the training, IT WILL SAVE YOU ISK. You will never see my corp from the inside without the tools of the trade in your pocket. Your either an alpha dog or a cur in my book. I will take your isk, kill you and your ship, hell, if i had my way , id come to your house and stomp your computer flat. RESPECT THROUGH FEAR.
If you dont have the balls to learn to survive in 0.0 , then stay outta my yard. Your just another victim kid ( http://www.killsometime.com/videos/5282/Psycho-Dog-Man-Reenacts-Attack)
Im Bullmastiff and i support this thread A4D forever ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2r8kBnGtAU&feature=related%3Cbr%3E%3C/fontsize%3E%3C/color%3E) |

People flying through Curse often wonder how we can keep our marathon camps up for so long.
Really, it's easy. We have a blast hanging out with each other. We're like family. We give each other crap. We laugh and joke and listen to storytime with Bren. ...
And we get the adrenaline rush every time another small fleet decides to come tangle with us. All of Curse knows where to find us. And they know when they're done roaming around and not finding any fights worthy of the name, they can find us on our normal camp. Oh yeah, we'll be there. Waiting to see who will be next to cross the street to get their ass kicked.
Come join us. But please bring some new stories... please?

Hello there,
New to EVE although already managed to create my own corporation to be able to play with a few noob buddies of mine.
I am really interested in going through your courses and play some pvp with you guys, but I was wondering if I would need to leave my own clan first in order to do it? Can someone be in 2 clans? |

Many students leave their corps, complete our course and go back home to their old corps. Some make alts, join OUCH and do the training with them. Up to you really. We don't care if you, the player, are in two corporations, but you have to have one character in OUCH, capable of taking classes in high sec, in order to receive training.

I've been playing for a number of years. Spent a ton of time care-bearing. Not even realizing I fit that description - lol.
Run the spectrum of all non-pvp activity you can do in EVE - of course it was natural that eventually, I'd want to head full speed into pvp.
I ran with a few pirate corps and larger corps alliances for a bit - but never actually stopped to get some education per say until I came to ouch.
It's amazing how long you can play this game and not know something.
These guys know their stuff. The class structure is simple yet effective. I learned something I didn't know in every single class.
NOT because I was a noob, because that's not the case, but because I wasn't aware of all the tools available to me on the interface, on the maps, I failed to take the math into consideration or even to uise the solar system map effectively and to my benefit. I also didn't realize I had been book marking incorrectly (MAJOR difference).
Thus the EVE I was playing was far harder than it had to be - While my kill/loss ratio was good - I had to think back to previous losses that I realize just were not necessary.
Null sec travel and staying alive are amazingly easy now - bubbles? No problem. Seems there was alot even an experienced pilot could learn.
Incredibly enough I extracted a few tears along the way from real experienced PVP'ers who couldn't kill me during my time in Curse. They were yelling in local :) - They were pissed and I ended up winning EVE as a result.
Time well spent to say the least! |

There was a point in my eve life that i decided making isk is not enough, there was no fulfillment, i could buy anything sell it for more or less and not care. i immagined my pob full of isk bills (if that even exists) but it was not enough.....
THEN I FOUND OUCH! and was taken to a new level, something i havent learned NULL SEC SURVIVAL. i died plenty of times in the past, making dreds+in null is no easy job, but PVP was as foreign to me as Clog danceing.......
after the first few modules, and gate camps i was hooked. ITS A GREAT program. and a awesome group of people. if you wanna learn and learn the right way, join ouch.
it will melt your FACE! or something cool like that |

Do you guys have training sessions for Pacific Time Zone (-8 GMT)? I'm potentially interested, but your OP indicates training sessions start around 18:00 server (0 GMT I think?) and its not gonna work out with my current job.

Training sessions are periodically offered at other times that may be more fitting to your schedule. We also have several trainers who are willing to take on special sessions by request, and there is a specific thread on the forums to request such.
Bottom-line is that -- if you are patient and considerate to the training staff -- you will almost certainly be able to find opportunities to complete the training.
Our trainers do what they do as a volunteer service to the EVE community. Training modules average around three hours each, and our trainers receive no pay for giving their time. They do it because they enjoy opening up nullsec to both new and old players.
Join the corp. Get to know our trainers and treat them well. Be patient and considerate of the volunteer nature of our organization. You will certainly find means to get through the sessions. And between sessions, you are free to continue whatever hisec PvE activities you currently enjoy. |

So you've just trained up to good BS skills, done some empire/low sec roams in decent sized fleets, even done a jump into null sec here and there. Now you want to go null sec pvp with another corp? Well, chances are you will end up on the wrong side of a kill mail really fast. Curse region for example, is dangerous, nasty and full of people who want nothing more than to kill your ship and pod. You might be thinking "Ah, I fly in decent sized fleets so I can sit back and let the FC do everything." Well, Curse (or most of null sec) doesn't work like that. Want to grab a faction ship with officer mods and take a solo player on? Guess what ? Chances are that the solo player isn't solo- just waiting for someone like you to come along.
You have to learn how to travel around in null and also how to use your head in everything you do. OUCH will teach you that. If you can learn in Curse how to live, work and travel, then you can live anywhere, it's really that simple. New player or vet, doesn't matter- give them a try and learn valuable skills. -áThe Sideburns- Always Outnumbered- Never Outgunned. Manchester United - Paul Scholes= Genius |

I tell my guys when they come into A4D that perception is ninety percent of the game. Whether in game or in life, its the same. You can be the best wire twister in the world and never be called an electrician, but you suck one d1(k and your a c0(k sucker the rest of your life.
The same goes in this game. If you try 0.0 with a corp that is not prepared for whats coming, then you are going to be an easy target. If you are trained the wrong way , then you will be considered an idiot. This game is rough on beginners, there isn't a easy way to learn it. OUCH creates a friendly environment to get your education.
Curse is a ****** place to start, its full of vile human beings. Don't let your first experience in curse be like this guys. http://www.killsometime.com/videos/3737/Bug-Flies-in-Reporters-Mouth. oh yea, and could you put this blindfold on for me, and let me rub this around your lips while i take pictures?

Losing 300 million isk in implants when your pod gets popped in a bubble can cause you to yell at your kids.
Yelling at your kids can cause your daughter to become withdrawn and depressed.
Being withdrawn and depressed can cause her to develop "daddy" issues and start dressing in black funeral clothes.
Having daddy issues can cause her to run away from home and become a stripper.

I too am Pacific Time zone -8 GMT.
I know EVE time can be confusing at times, But 18:00 -8 =10:00 or 10am.
I am an Instructor in OUCH and I have Taught on Weekends at 19:00 eve time which is currently 11am PST in the Winter and during Daylight savings is 12:00pm or noon PST.
But if that still isn't an acceptable time we Offer Wednesday and Thursday classes at 01:00 EVE Time which for you is currently 6pm PST in the winter and 7pm PST during Daylight savings Time.
Now if this still isn't acceptable times we have a forum thread to post for One Offs for special needs because some one has RL issues that prevent them from attending regular scheduled classes.
Now if all the above still doesn't work for your time zone which is also my time zone then have a nice day and fly safe. |

OUCH is always recruiting. We welcome noobs with bare minimum SP, and we welcome carebears with 50 million SP. We are an OPEN university. We take anyone who wants to follow our program and learn to survive in Nullsec.
Other than a willingness to follow our new student rules, we have no entry requirements. Most applications are accepted within 24 hours and the complete training cycle can be completed in as little as two weeks (may be longer if your play schedule is limited).
We are NOT Eve University -- They teach people how to play Eve. We are NOT Agony Unleashed -- They are a PvP corp that runs occasional PvP classes.
We ARE a Nullsec survival and PvP training corp. We teach players to play in 0.0.
It's what we do. Join us.

However, I'll be happy to sign up for OUCH's training course. After all basic survival first, fancy flying tricks later. |

You know the saying: Don't fly anything you can't afford to lose. I would say, in null, it's a better idea not to fly anything you can't afford to replace a half dozen times.
A lot of people spend a lot of time building up a war chest so they can afford all of the shiny ships that they know they are going to lose when they start venturing into low sec and null.
OUCH students fly T1 frigates while they learn the ropes. As the Brit's say, they're cheap as chips.

BUBBLE SUES OUCH FOR "PREDATORY" BUSINESS PRACTICES
BBC Newsroom, 2 hours ago
A high ranking Hemin county court clerk leaked a report claiming that the Curse Coalition of Mobile Warp Disruptors has filed suit against Open University of Celestial Hardship. Reportedly, the suit charges OUCH with predatory business practices and infringment upon free enterprise. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the clerk said the suit claimed OUCH has embarked upon a "heinous campaign" carefully designed to drive the coalition out of business and put their remaining members out on the street. The coalition is reportedly demanding that OUCH cease and desist all further "bubble avoidance" training courses, and is also demanding an undisclosed settlement sum.
Glob Yule, Public Relations Officer for the Coalition responded by saying, "The Open University of Celestial Hardship has embarked on an ongoing and escalating campaign specifically designed to drive our members out of business. If their predatory business practices are not brought to an immediate stop, we risk the complete dissolution of the bubble industry in Curse. If left unchecked, there will soon be not a single pilot left in Curse who hasn't learned how to avoid the bubble. The few remaining members of our coalition will be unemployed and bereft of means. Surely, the populace of Curse will stand behind us."
Directors of OUCH were not immediately available for comment. Reportedly, they were camping their own bubble and happily dispatching the remaining untrained pilots in Curse.

OUCH trained pilots are survivalists. There's no record of missed tackles, avoided gate camps, or failed probe downs. There's no board registering the narrow escapes. There is only the satisfaction of not ending up as a statistic on someone else's kill board.
We will teach you what we know about survival so that when you leave OUCH to join a serious pvp corp, you're able to get to get to where the fleet needs you in one piece. Life On The Bubble |

Taught a class last night. I was a little off my game: took every bit of three hours to explain fleet ops, scouting, target assessment and why small gang PvP is the Eve that CCP should be selling, instead of large scale SOV warfare.
Usually takes only two and a half, but there were a few questions.  Life On The Bubble |

Sometimes I'm In Curse Watching People Flying Straight From Gate To Gate , Not A Care In The World
And Then I Have To Read The Bitchin In Local , After I Kill Them And Pod Them Back To High Sec
The Main Thing I Notice Whilst Guarding My Little Part Of The Sandbox Is
The OUCH Pilots Fly Smarter Than The Average Bear
They Have Been Taught Null Avoidance / Kill Tactics

This Corp of trainers deserves a big bump!!
Was with this Corp for a little over a month and must say that after completing the required modules you no longer need to be afraid of null!
I was a carebear for the first part of life, Since ouch's training regiment I can traverse null without any problems whatsover. The Corp is laid back (as long as you stick to a few rules which are there to ensure your survival), and the guys are simply great company.
You can learn alot from them! Give Ouch a go!

Would you like to engage in some of the most adrenaline pumping small gang warfare in one of the most dangerous nullsec regions in Eve?
Then join the Open University of Celestial Hardship or OUCH as we like to call it.
We will teach you not only how to pvp in small gang warfare but also to SURVIVE and THRIVE in the lawless space of the Curse Region.
We have several pvp modules that will teach you many of the basics of small gang pvp and daily pvp fleets with several kills a day (I personally had about 30 plus today). Most of the instructors / full members are very active and more than happy to help anyone in the pvp arts.
And if you are a brand new player to Eve, fear not! We can mentor you into well oiled pvp machine!

Fight or Flight, its a response that everyperson will experience when threatened. which side do you lean towards? Do you find yourself asking the question should i have stayed and fought? Is that a fight i could win? or am i going to be running in my pod toward the gate while the enemy puts up GF and GG in local....
I advocate a different approach. one that will enlighten you and make it so your the one putting the GF in local and reading the killmail for the other guy(s) pod(s). some say knoweldge is power, i would say through knowledge, experience and training you can have your EVE experience rebuilt. Basicly a Core change in the fundimental thought process reguarding Null Sec survival, PVP and Small Gang PVP.
Here at ouch you can acrue this knowledge.
here at ouch you can gain experience
Here at ouch the training is awaiting you.
Your new eve experience can be found here.
Prepare yourself because after your done here you will be a creature evolved.

Guys do yourself a favor and join O.U.C.H. We always know when Bren's group gets a new member. In he pops into k-qwhe and warps straight to the cl gate like he just cashed a plex and is on his way to jita. We look dumbfounded for a minute , then we jump on him and send him to the Hemin hospital. We are on coms saying fresh meat, fresh meat. Then after a couple weeks we see the same guy, and now hes a sneaky little c()nt who gets through. OUCH members are prized kills, even though the ship is cheap as shite. Its because they are hard to catch. Crafty Sons of beaches. The intructors are the most prized of all, and you can see by our killboard that it is very rare we ever get one.
If your yearning for the learning this is the place to go. These cats can teach you the basics to staying alive. Or you can pass and come to k-q, where a4d will smash your wagon and take your candy. Well you hope thats all we take.
Love you guys at OUCH , your doing it right guys. Your making it hard to get kills, but when we do its like fapping to pron.

Sh!t Happens.
"Sh!t happens'" happens to be one of those phrases that gets an immediate rise to argument out of me. I hate it almost as much as I hate, "I'm just saying" (but that's a different rant for a different day).
Sh!t doesn't just happen. Sh!t happens for a reason. You got your brand new shiny ship popped in 0.0 because you flew into a bubble camp. That sh!t didn't just happen. It happened because you haven't been trained to avoid the camps. It happened because you didn't understand the basics of Nullsec Survival.
And, until you do, you will continue to have "sh!t happen" to you and you will continue to lose ships. Or perhaps you'll decide that 0.0 is too scary and stay in hisec. And that would be a shame because 0.0 is where the fun is.
So don't be a victim. Don't let "sh!t happen" to you. Join us in OUCH. Learn how to make sh!t happen to others. |

We post our training schedule at the beginning of each month. If your play time is rigidly restricted, it may impact how quickly you can complete the training. But we've had very few people join who have been completely unable to complete due to time restrictions. My suggestion is to join us, review our scheduling, and see if it can work for you. We are an open university. You are free to join and free to leave if it doesn't fit your needs.
Looking forward to seeing you in corp chat.

Do you like teaching other people? Do you think that eve is an ever learning place, and you can never know it all?
Then join ouch. First we'll teach you how to survive in nullsec and give you basic knowledge for pvp. If you'll follow the rules and fly smart, you'll die much less, kill more and graduate with a medal.
However, if you feel like graduation is not the end of it, if you'll play eve in the way we play it, and we like you, senior staff of ouch might let you stay as a permanent member of ouch. For permanent members, we have even more advanced training programs that you can receive. Like: Greatly mproving that basic knowledge of pvp by practice, flying bigger and better hulls efficiently, how to be a master tackler, how to FC properly, etc.
The training never ends. Join ouch and start learning :) |

I get a few private convo requests and evemails from folks wanting to know if we are still recruiting. The answer to that is yes... and no
Yes, if you're looking to join OUCH as a student, take our courses over a few weeks while following the rules of the corp. All you have to do is apply. It's that easy
No, if you're looking to join OUCH to become an instructor and you believe that you're too experienced to go through our program. We don't equate skill points or years playing Eve with actual knowledge and experience.
In other words, we believe that as experienced as you might think you are, you just don't know what you don't know
OUCH instructors are home grown. We all have our OUCH training as the foundation that we are building on from. We're not elite, but we are professional, and if you want to be a part of it, you gotta come in at the ground floor. Life On The Bubble |

We teach our students in high sec and recommend they mission there in between classes to make the isk to afford their ships. Our T1 frigate fits for students are very inexpensive so you should be able to afford your losses while you are with us.
We don't teach you how to make isk, so you're going to have to figure out how to afford future shinies on your own. Life On The Bubble |

All training modules are held in high sec so there is little chance of losing a ship during a class. Once you begin moving into null sec to apply the things you have learned, you will initially be restricted to approved student-fit T1 frigates. These ships generally cost only around 400k isk.
We pride ourselves in proving that, with proper training, even very new players flying the cheapest of ships can thrive in null sec, and even engage and kill older pilots flying shiny ships. Nothing pleases us more than taking down a billion-isk ship with only a handful of frigs.
If you've been playing long enough to earn the ~400k isk for your first student-fit frigate, then you have everything you need to successfully complete the OUCH training.
Join us.

You can buy 50 Rifters and jump into lawless space and learn it the traditional way.
We call that the "Hard Way".
Been there, done that, T-Shirt acquired.
Or you can take our course and get the tools you'll need to survive just to make it to the fight.
We call that the "Easy Way".
When you finish the course, you'll be light years ahead of the guy who lost 50 Rifters.

Did you ever join a nullsec alliance, which was promising daily PVP and lots of fun defending their territory. But all you got was mostly empty space and occasional blob vs blob, where you were just a straw in a haystack, with your cruiser sized ship, dropped in one of the squads somewhere in 100+ sized fleet?
And they told you that's what PVP is. If you feel that that couldn't be further from the truth, join OUCH
We'll show and teach you how to fight in a controllable sized fleets, where single frigate sized ship actually matters (as it always should), where your frigate or a cruiser sized ship will be a great tactical advantage over the opposing fleet. And where we show our behinds to the fleets, where all you need is Big ships and Lots of them and no need for brains at all.
Join OUCH and learn how to tactically defeat the enemy fleet with smaller and cheaper ships, but with knowledge of how to really fly them efficiently.

Why are you still sitting in hisec?
You know you're bored to tears with mining and missioning and all those other dreary forms of PvE. You know you've been considering unsubbing because the excitement just isn't there. You know you've been reading the blogs and itching to find the EVE that all these guys write about.
You know the one... The EVE where adrenaline courses through your veins as you and your fleetmates warp onto grid and engage players just as bloodthirsty as yourselves. The EVE where you burn away from one opponent while spiraling in on the chosen primary. The EVE where you lock down your target and watch his shields melt away under your guns. The EVE where shiny ships explode and leave you shaking with the excitement of victory.
That EVE does exist. And you can be a part of it.
OUCH will teach you to survive in nullsec. OUCH will teach you your role as a critical element of the combat fleet. OUCH will teach you to be the killer you know you want to be. OUCH will help you find the excitement and the EVE you are dreaming of.
Join us.

So you're bored to death sitting in highsec, but whenever you enter nullsec you're "sent back" to high sec using your cloning facility?
And you always wanted to be the pilot, that's somehow able to warp really close to one of those nasty bubble camps that are frequent in null sec. And not in some kind of stealth bomber or covert ops ship, but in a regular Tech1 frigate with basic unnamed modules. You wanted to make the campers nervous, sneaking in behind their backs. You wanna know how to be so close to the sniping naga, that you could hear his lifesupport systems humming, without him knowing that you're there. And you always wanted to slip through the gates and continue your journey with an interdictor quarding them vigorously, waving them goodbye and wishig them better luck next time, while their jaws drop wondering how you could do that?
If you wanna learn how to do any or all of the above, join OUCH. We'll teach you for free. All you have to do is follow few of our rules, and have the desire to learn :) |

Instructors know their stuff so you get first class info. But wait it gets even better.... While hanging around you become comfortable in null just like it was Hsec, you get to know how PvP works, traveling is easy if you do it the OUCH way (you will die eventually) and you have FUN doing it.
So do yourself a favor and join OUCH, its one of those things people can't take away from you

Sometimes I get a convo asking me if we are still recruiting. I always laugh at the thought.
OUCH is never recruiting: We advertise a service to teach you tactics that should help you learn to survive in in null sec space.
There's a reason it's called Open University. If you want to learn, all you need to do to join is ask.
Open enrollment. No hidden fees. All we ask is you be patient and follow our corporate policies and regulations while you are with us. Stay for a while, get trained and leave, if staying and training others is not what you want to do.
We don't have drama. We don't want a ton of members to fund our corporate expenses. Honestly, we kick out half of our enrollment for failing to train, or for failing to follow our regulations.
Join us and train. Fail to train, you're gone. We don't encourage our players to waste their time, and we definitely waste our time on people who don't really want the training we give.
There is no catch.

So when I look at the news and see all of the destroyed ships in Jita, I just have to believe that there's no shortage of idiots.
We all know that Low sec is not safe. We understand that Null sec is not safe.
But people do not understand that High sec is not safe either.

Since jita burned and hulkagedon event happened, tech II ships prices sky rocketed.
After this two events you're probably even more nervous to fly those expensive hulls and modules. And you fly them only because you feel like you'll be powerless if you don't use the best possible module on the best possible ship you can fly. If that's the case, you couldn't be further from the truth. In OUCH students and permanent members (trainers) regularly fly tech I ships, with not the best possible modules, and have a great success with them.
If you're wondering how that is possible, join us. We'll teach you how to fly all ships (even noobships), to the maximum potential, and how to survive in them anywhere. |

Research has shown that eating metal does not power iron eye lasers. However, Minmatar pilots have been known to consume vast quantities of toxic metals in order to sh*t projectile ammo for their autocannons. (Not recommended if flying anything larger than a frigate!)
But if it's lasers you want, I suggest a cocktail of Quafe Zero and Frentix with a healthy splash of Johnny Walker Blue. That should power up your Amarr eyes. Be sure to keep your shades on around friends!

One of the issues living in null is prices on a lot of popular things can be very expensive, but there are bargains to be found on items out here. Fire sales happen, especially when people pick up and move to the next region.
But unlike Empire, chances are high that the seller of your brand new cruiser is sitting outside the station, waiting for you to undock so he can test the hull of your ship.
But don't worry, you don't have to go without, you just have to be prepared when you make your pick ups. Life On The Bubble |

OUCH train players and show them that flying a cheap t1 frig is just as lethal (even more) as a max skilled fella flying a t2-t3 ship packing some serius "bling" in its slots can be, and they show you the importance of teamplay but also train you to be on your own in a hostile enviroment.
good lessons to be learnt and fun times so join OUCH

As a new player I can attest that the OUCH training really pushes you up the learning curve.
I joined OUCH in my very first month of playing EVE. The money I got through the new player experience has been enough for my time in OUCH as the frigates are cheap to replace if lost at all. The training helped immensely to get a grip at a lot of things EVE throws at you as a beginning player. Now three months later I have a clean UI, can use overview and bracket settings to my advantage, have flown in fleets and been on both sides of a bubble.
Most importantly I lived in Null Sec. for a time, travelled through Null as well as back and forth to high. Even as a new pilot I know I can live there and that gives my invaluable options of where to go now and what to try.
The actually hardest part as a new player is that you can not try every aspect of EVE for a little time (e.g. entering wormholes), but what you learn makes more than up to that.
So if you are a new, or not so new, player try OUCH. It helps to stand on the shoulder of giants.

So you still don't dare to enter nullsec, because you're waiting to have a bit more skills, so you can fly a better ship.
Surviving in nullsec is not about better ships, it's not even about bigger fleets. An opponent will rather sonner than later bring a bigger fleet and better ships and beat you. Surviving in nullsec is using the environment and ship that you're curently in (even if it's just a rookie shipe), to the max potential.
And that is what we'll teach you in OUCH.
With us you'll learn how to travel through nullsec "safely", how to avoid engagements that you don't want, and how to engage other ships, and all that by learning true potential of modules and the ships everyone can use.
Don't wait for "tomorow", learn more about this game by joining us now, and have more fun :) |

- the time of the training sessions. I live in France and I can play usually about 19:30/20:00 GMT till 23:00 GMT about, so your training sessions are a bit early for me, with a wife and two children
- I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to understand technical spoken english, written english is ok, spoken is harder ;) |

Even if you're flying in nullsec for you whole life as an eve pilot, you're more than welcome to join OUCH. You might already know how to use TACS and how to scramble a target, but our learning program is so vast that you'll certainly hear and learn something new.
We have 9 modules of classes in total about 12hrs of "uploading" knowledge into your RL brains, And that's only theory with simulated practice. After that you move to nullsec, where you'll use those skills to practice in our fleets doing "real" pvp, traveling through 0.0, avoiding bubble camps, learning about the various fittings of numerous ships in eve, etc. In general you'll learn how to die less and kill more.
Join OUCH you won't be sorry :)

Quote:what's with everyone and falcons does anybody want a straight up fight? That was asked to us in Local last night, by a guy who deliberately came at us, looking for trouble. Let me answer it here:
No.
This is Eve and welcome to Curse.
The only people who engage in combat that don't think that they have the edge and will win, are people who have little experience in player to player combat. Experienced PvPers think they have better skills, a better ship, a better fit, or better tactics that will see them through the fight. Or they know that reinforcements are coming.
That means if you're flying a battlecruiser and your opponent is flying a frigate... and he engages you... he knows something you don't know.

Last night our frigate and cruiser fleet caught a Domi, pounded him 50 percent into armor, and yes, Virginia, he popped a cyno.
Didn't see that coming.
Titan Bridge FTW? A fleet of HACs and BCs incoming? Blackops gang? We get those once or twice a week, the students love it.
But no, Virginia, all we got was a solo Nyx. For the uninitiated, that's a supercarrier. And since our little gang didn't have the DPS for that, we let him go.
It's times like these I wish I had a Bat Phone. 
The irony of it is, we've seen better: PL used a Bait carrier to drop 3 Nyxs and a pair of Aeons on us few months ago.
I got that fight on Fraps, it's pretty cool.  Life On The Bubble |

So you see this huge thread on a recruitment forum and think that this is some massive corp where you'll get lost in the crowd. Wrong!
We're a training corporation teaching how to survive and fight in null and low security space. Each member goes through the same program and same rules, gets the same respect and attention as every other student. In each class there are generally 5-10 students and we answer to each and everyone if we need to. Once you complete the classes, you can join the pvp fleets in nullsec which rarely grow larger than 15-ish members.
We don't like Blob wars, we prefer small, smart, tactical, organized kind of fights. Where one tech1 frigate can actually change the outcome of a fight.

But if your eve life includes flying ships, joining OUCH and graduating with us, will make you a safer pilot, improve your playtime experience and maybe even change the way you played eve so far. And when you put the skills we'll teach you to practice, you just might start thinking if the first scentence in this post is really correct

When OUCH went onto the top 10k sometime last year, that was pretty cool. Since then, our Battleclinic rank has been steadily rising, with joining the top 1000 corps coming up as our next milestone.
Alliance ranks go much much more slowly, but AWA just dropped into the top 200 alliances on Battleclinic. We're number 197 overall and number 88 for recent activity, which I think is over the last 90 days. Battleclinic kills AND losses are part of the ranking system.
Not bad for a bunch of guys bubble camping with newbies, who I might add, have to learn how to travel through Curse, one of the toughest regions in New Eden.

OUCH will show you the fun of flying in 0.0 and pvp and they also have a forum where you can learn all sorts of stuff like:
Basic Flying Rules for all pilots:
1. Try to stay in the middle of the air.
2. Do not go near the edges of it.
3. The edges of the air can be recognised by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there.

Members will learn the neighbourhood, the AWA permacamp of 8-g, the ****** shithole that is K-Q and stuff like that. Also ~350mil for like 2 hours worth of running around in a frig is your first Abaddon + fit right there.
this was posted by n0th on the kugutsman site. its a 401k thread. I guess k-q is a shithole because we wont engage their 20 man munnin and 8 scimitar fleet with a 1/3 less people. but we still kill them repeatedly. Oh well i guess 0.0 is a little different than the 30 man jita station camp. LIFE IS SO UNFAIR.
anyway, ferk em.
Join ouch, learn not to be a whining beetch.
On a different note, K-qwhe is a shitehole, we reconize that. but it is our shitehole and if you dont like it, dont come around sniffing it. As for the ****** part, well we dont like nor do we recruit fags. Hate crime *** beating? well we approve that. dont know what the problem is really.

I just completed the first few modules with NatashaK as the instructor. It was super boring listening to him for 3 hours talking about overview and escape settings but it was worth it...
I have been playing eve since last year but i never knew you could tell at a glance which pilots were jamming/neuting/scramming you just by setting up your overview properly.
That was just one example. There are many other things i learnt at that class. There are a ton of restrictions on what you can and cannot do while in Corp (for e.g you cant go to low/null sec w/o completing certain modules and you can only fly t1 frigates even if you can go into low/null sec) but if you endure, then you feel like you have earned the right to go out and explore low/null sec (as opposed to going in clueless and getting ***** slapped into your next clone by a pirate or ganker).
tl;dr : Join OUCH, these people know what they are doing because they have been doing it for a long, long time. |

Well we just had a new guy to curse, one of our blues , learn a valuable lesson last night, that no amount of me telling, jumping up and down, begging or pleading, with tears in my eyes, can ever teach.
We were coming back to k-q from trying to pop a 401k sleip that had casually warped through k-q. While coming back one of 6pack buds decides t move ahead in a hurry to k-q and comes across coms, there's a pull bubble on the cl gate in 8g. bullmastiff > you didnt just warp straight to the gate in there did you? pilot> umm yea. Bullmastiff> well we are two jumps behind you. Do me a favor will you? Pilot> whats that? im fighting. Bullmastiff> Say hello to the spider for me little fly. pilot aww **** im down, they jammed me out. Bullmastiff> what did you lose? Pilot > one of the stabber fleets i just bought from you. Bullmastiff> None to worry mate, i got 20 more for you to buy in k-q. Fleet warp to bull , align cl.
This is what you can learn among many other things at ouch. As many hate mail/stories of faggotry that you will get from people about Bren and his groups tactics. They are sound. Most people forget that when they look at the cheap azz ships they have the recruits in. But they are led by guys who are ace falcon pilots. they have t3 links up , cloaky recons , mainly falcons and an occasional sniper mach, they 14k alpha in your face. Your eyelids are gonna stick together.
Now some may think this is gay, and from any other corp it would be extremely gay. But understand, this is a training corp. Bren and his instructors are taking care of their flock while letting them learn to kill. It is very well done.
Yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death (Curse) I will fear no evil (A4D), for you are with me (Bren and his staff) Thy rod and thy staff comfort me (Mucho grande ecm , links, and support).
Whether your religous or not, when Bull tells you to be wary in 8G and to use bookmarks and change them every couple times after using them. You better take it as THE GOSPEL.
Can i get an AMEN!!!!

But seriously, maybe you've heard that little voice in your head whispering, "You should try something new, like new sec." I remember when I was a student and I navigated my way around my first gate camp in Curse using what I learned in class. That was a rush. A year later, I'm flying alongside my instructors.

Here's a tip: Take the time to skill up 3 levels in Infomorph Psychology, which allows you to use Jump Clones. Then join Estel Arador and get a couple of high sec jump clones.
Then join OUCH.
Later on, when you're ready to get you're feet wet in null, but realize that it's dumb to risk a head full of high cost implants, you can jump into a clean clone and have at it. Life On The Bubble |

One of the most important things that OUCH teaches is confidence. Yesterday, the guys were on a roam with our neighbors. A few of us wanted to play too, so we jumped in frigs and started chasing the gang, a dozen jumps away, dodging 'dictors and Dramiels on the way to join the fleet.

We have numerous classes that give you al the basic tools to jump "safely" into nullsec and try some PVP. But even after you graduate with us, the learning acutally just begun. Our permanent members (trainers) are always trying new stuff, upgrading all knowledge and experiences, exploring new areas and types of combat and so on. Ofcourse all our training programs are updated accordingly.
If you also found out that you can never know or try everything in EVE, you're welcome to join us and learn something new every day. |

I've officially been in OUCH for over a year after having been a student myself. But, that doesn't have to be the case for you. Once you've graduated, you're free to move on and to use those survival and PvP skills as you move into other corps. The other day, I received an email from a former student about his successes in his new corp, using what he learned in his time in OUCH.
Come give us a try. If you have questions, mosey on over to the OUCH-UNI channel. |

Last night an "apparently" stronger fleet, decided to fight our tech1 student frigs. they flew straight to us and deployed a dictor sphere around us. Moments later, our students had a blast killing them while they couldn't escape from their own dictor sphere/bubble. At the end we lost around 800.000 isk while their loss was well above 150.000.000.
Do you want to know how that is possilbe? Join OUCH, its' free :) |

Most of the senior ouch members are also from US, so 22:00 - 4:00 (eve time) is ouch prime time (for weekdays), although we're active throughout the day, cause we have members from all around the world.
But the classes are mostly during weekends at 18:00 eve time, and occasionally during weekdays at 1:00 eve time. |

Some things in EVE will leave a very strong memory.
The first time you get kicked around by another player is probably a very good example of one of those memories.
Bad luck you say? I should have trained more Skill Points you say? I was in a frigate and outgunned by a cruiser you say?
Wrong, guess again....
EVE is about awareness, awareness of your environment, the abilities of the ship you fly, the fitting it got, the abilities of the ship your opponent is flying, knowing when to fight and when to make your getaway.
Let us help you expanding your memories with getting that first kill or that breathtaking escape from a gate camp.
OUCH students often agree upon the fact OUCH opened up doors to more ways of awareness ingame. But OUCH is more than just a few tricks to have up your sleeve, we are all about 0 sec survival. Handing you the tools on how to do so.
So... if you would like to explore low and 0 sec more without being oblivious of what it is all about, do yourself a favour. Join OUCH as a student, we are here to help you achieve all that.
Simply hit the apply button or pop into our recruitment channel; OUCH-UNI, if you still have some questions. |

Let me tell you a story about a newby that joined EVE with a brand new account and character.
This newby played a couple of days solo, trying to wrap his mind around the sandbox that EVE represents. Soon after that he joined a very small PVE corp wich expanded his game experience by a lot. He trained up for cruisers and not very long after that he flew a battleship, being a Dominix. After five months of playing he was raping lvl 4 security missions solo in a shiny battleship and thought he was king of the hill doing so. After all, he now had a proper skill set and knew all to well about EVE-Survival etc. etc. etc..... But eventually it became a grind, doing the same sh*t over and over and over again. So he explored other facets of the game, he had a sniff of PI did some exploring, ventured into wormholes. But he was not satisfied with the game he played because he knew he was missing out on something. He was actually a bit scared to plunge into the voids of low and 0.0 security space. So... he did his homework, reading up on the forums, absorbing information, being in recruitment channels to look for corporations that could offer him a training ground and the help he needed so bad. One day he stumbled upon a recruitment thread of a corporation that offered him a chance to do so. He was reading the thread carefully because he suspected a catch.... This corporation not only offered an extensive training program, but they did not asked for anything in return. What was the deal here?... no API requirements, no certain amount of Skill Points requirements, no fees for the course.... Because he was told many times to maintain a certain level of paranoia ingame he thought it was too good to be true. Reading the thread some more and asking questions in their channel our newby finally joined. And the corporation? Yes that was the Open University of Celestial Hardship allright.
This newby used to be me if you had not guessed it by now... I never could have imagined there was so much more in EVE for me to explore. Participating in PVP in 0.0 security space is a rush, it really gets the adrenaline pumping. Outsmarting a fellow space pilot in PVP gives so much more satisfaction over owning Angel Extravaganza including the bonus room at lvl 4 for the 100th time....
So if i can make the plunge why cant you? I am a very average MMO player, i do not consider myself elite in EVE. In fact i consider myself far from it, why? because i am still learning. Yes i did graduated with OUCH but that does not mean i stopped learning... Having said that im often amazed by what i now consider bad judgement calls or fvckups even, from the guys i am fighting in Curse. Wich made me realise that the things concerning PVP im taking for granted now were not so obvious at first. And you know what? A lot of information that OUCH handed me down still seems like a magic trick to other PVP'ers overhere. That includes the older experienced ones. There is no magic to it, its being aware of what is possible and what is not.
After my graduation i was accepted into the Operations Department of OUCH wich is reserved for permanent members. Nowadays i am flying alongside the guys that teached me my first classes and yes that still makes me feel proud. As a matter of fact, last sunday i teached my first class myself.
So let me sum this up for you.
Join OUCH.
Expand your game.
Become more aware.
And have a blast flying in the cold deep voids of 0.0 security space!
P.s. feel free to stop by at out recruitment channel if you still have some questions left. OUCH-UNI |

My pvp skills have got pretty rusty of late having been in Highsec for a long while so I thought I'd hook up with OUCH to get a refresher.
I have to say I've been very impressed, the forums are well organised and the modules I've seen so far are excellent and very well presented. I've certainly learnt a lot so far, no matter how long you play EVE there's always something more to find out.
I'd certainly recommend OUCH to both newbs and vets alike, I thought I knew the overview inside out until tonight  |

These guys really seem to have it pitched right. The modules are really good, concise and very informative. I've been playing Eve since 2003 and I've learned quite a lot I've missed on the way.
The other thing I like is that you're expected to get on with things (at your own pace) no ones breathing down you neck but there's always friendly advice there if you need it.
If you've wanted to try nullsec but didn't know where to start then join OUCH and take your first steps |

I like to point out in response to Andski's "Building a Newbie Program" (excellent post btw), there's also a third party option.
Have your new recruits trained by corporations that are well known for doing this. OUCH is a good example of a dedicated 0 sec space training corporation.
So when they return they obviously dont have a heap of skill points but they are familiar with stuff like setting up overview, bookmarking, tackling, scouting and fleet comms.
Saving your corporation/alliance a lot of time to teach them pvp more in depth in relation to your desired fleet composition.
Let OUCH be you third party training corporation. |

For the past two years, the members of OUCH have been working toward the establishing the Open University of Celestial Hardship as an Eve Institution. It's a work still in progress, but we've come to believe that our supportive small core membership, our focused purpose, and our slow organic growth is the reason why we're still doing what we're doing: providing quality null sec survival and basic PvP training, at little to no cost to the student.

Larger roaming fleets tend to send a "weaker" ship (like vagabonds, drakes, canes,...) ahead, to lure us into a fight we can not possibly win.
Do you want to see how that bait is killed, while the rest of the fleet stares in amazement and frustration, and at the same time avoid and survive engagement with overwhelming blob of battleships.

I left OUCH 6 mnth ago, since then i've involved in major wars, blob, reds, neut, blues, pods, null sec politics and all the hassle of living in null. Everything are not the same like before, except one : I still made my TAC bookmark the way NatashaK teach me 6 month ago. It makes me live more then i die. So OUCH thanks, my EvE life is much more fun this way :) |

A lot of people contact me and ask if OUCH is still teaching? The answer to that is always, "Yes."
Sometimes though, I get asked if OUCH is still recruiting. It's hard not to say "No", but the honest answer is OUCH never is recruiting. Even this thread is more of an advertisement of a service vice recruitment propaganda.
When you join OUCH, you're enrolling into a training program. It's an Open enrollment. You have 90 days to complete the course. We don't charge a fee. We just ask that our students stay out of null sec and low sec until they've been trained to operate there, and fly the ships that they are authorized to fly where they're authorized to fly them.
We don't even recruit staff: Graduates of our program that want to stay apply to join our team as an Instructor. If accepted, they stick around to pass along what they have learned to the next guy while they work on the next stage of their personal development. Our students are encouraged to find the corp that's right for them.
So, if that sounds like something you want to do with your Eve, all you have to do is apply. Life On The Bubble |

OUCH operation members (trainers), know that to survive (or thrive) in eve is to adapt / evolve. And since we're a nullsec survival/pvp university, we're always updating our programs for students. So classes one year ago were most likely a bit different than classes today. Whatever they throw at us, we adapt.
Join OUCH, find out that null sec is nothing to be scared about. |

I only joined recently, but I've learned so much. The course is really well thought out, and helps most with building confidence and establishing proper thinking for null sec, and EVE in general.
The forum you get access to after joining is a treasure trove of guides, tips, stories and information, some of which is probably elsewhere, but not nearly as well cataloged.
EVE is not like anything else out there, but these guys will prove to you it need not be intimidating.

Here's some of what OUCH offers:
1. Good series of classes, well-prepared. This will take you about a month to work through the key classes; each set requires about two hours of your time.
2. A challenging 0.0 travel event that will test what you learned and build confidence in yourself and what you learned.
3. Practical PvP fleet operations that teach you to apply the classwork to PvP combat.
4. A great group of guys, both students and staff. You'll make contacts that may come in handy far down the line.
Even if your future isn't going to center on PvP, what you learn will make you a more survivable player. You'll learn to avoid combat as well as how to win at it. |

No matter what your personal preference in Eve is, I believe everyone can agree upon the fact that Eve has an absurd amount of activities that you can participate in. I believe that you should take it upon yourself to try everything Eve has to offer so you can figure out exactly what suits your fancy. If you've never participated in pvp in Eve before you might be a little bit apprehensive about where to begin or even if you should begin at all.
THATS WHERE OUCH COMES IN.
These guys know their stuff and can get you on the right track to pew pew to your <3's desire. So what are you waiting for? Drop an application in today and they can give you a taste of what pvp in Eve is all about! |

You think Hi-Sec is a safe place? Think again... Non-consensual pvp will find you eventually in EVE, it is only a matter of time...
If you can travel around in hostile 0 sec space, knowing you have the tools to avoid or choose your fights, Hi Sec should be a walk in the park.
So do yourself a favour, pick up the necessary tools with OUCH and travel with (more) confidence around New Eden.

I've been playing EVE now for about 4 months. Most of that time has been spent as a student of OUCH.
I now live in null and it's all down to the hardworking guys of OUCH who are willing to teach new players like myself how to survive out in null. As well as giving me the knowledge and confidence to engage in PVP.
I've been playing games for nearly 20 years now and my time spent with OUCH has been one of the highlights in all my time gaming.
I highly recommend OUCH to anyone who has ever wanted to see null but has been too scared to venture there. |

Null Sec might be scary, but at least in Null, you know everyone is out to get you. In High Sec, you never know what's going to hit you until it happens. But OUCH training principles apply everywhere you fly.

Get to know the fun of flying in nullsec and survive. Pick fights you want to do, and avoid fights you don't be a part of. Escape gate camps, or fly right next to the bubbles in nullsec. Laugh at the pirates in lowsec trying to get your loot, and learn how to survive Jita.
Join OUCH and we'll show you how. |

No strings attached whatsoever.
We are an Open University, no SP requirements, no paying isk for classes, no API key needed. So what's in it for us? Nothing really, we are just a bunch of guys that like to pass down what we have learned from our instructors before us. When you are done with your training you are free to move on as you please, no obligations.
So, look us up, if you have any questions you can chat with a recruiter / instructor in our public channel; "OUCH-UNI".

Like A4D, we had a record breaking month in December (Most Kills / Most ISK Destroyed Ever) and after a month where everyone was online and mixing it up constantly, it seems like things have died down considerably. 
But even with us taking nights off from PvP, making jaunts to high sec to teach, mine and mission, ducking into wormholes to explore, January is the month with the second most kills for OUCH in the last 10 months, and third most kills in a month EVER.
I guess it's not as bad as I thought.

Tonight, our EWAR supported frigate/cruiser gang took on a Hurricane, Drake and a Sabre. We primaried the Sabre and he bubbled us. We grabbed the 'cane and the Drake to eat later.
The 'cane lit a cyno local came alive. Our overviews filled up with a 40 ship fleet: HACs, BCs and Logi bridged in by a titan. They got a cruiser, a destroyer, two frigates and three pods. We took the Sabre in trade and the rest of our fleet made it out safely. Easily a 2 billion, closer to 3 billion ISK fleet. Our fleet? Maybe 400 mil?
A normal night in Curse. BC and HACS versus Frigs and Cruisers. Guns versus EWAR. To survive, you have to think fast and act quickly.

OUCH training comes in 2 parts: Null Survival and Basic PvP. Each part is broken into essentially 2 lectures.
After the first 2 lectures, you're ready to go into null sec and explore.
After 3 lectures, you're ready to join our fleets and get some small gang PvP experience with us in Camp Curse.
After 4 lectures, you're ready to graduate, providing you complete our skills test and have participated in 10 real kills.
It's pretty simple and all you have to do is apply.  Art of War Alliance -á-á Life on the Bubble

First Impressions........ This looks much better than I anticipated.
I've been in Eve for many years, and estimate I've spent over 90% of my time in hi-sec. I've ventured into null sec on numerous occassions (have a couple pilots there now) but feel Lo-sec is cold, scary and many times outright unforgiving. It is populated with folks that enjoy making my life miserable. Most of my solo trips into nul are short lived, and usually result in a fast trip home, minus my ship plus costs for a new clone.
Your program looks to be exactly what I need. It looks be both well planned, and well documented. I'm looking forward to training with you.

If you want to learn the ropes of nullsec survival, you have lots of options. Most of them are some form of get in ship, jump through to null, fly around aimlessly until someone blows you up before you ever realize what is happening. That's how most "training corps" do it.

NP, I've been in this situation before with the similar names. Actually, only a few pilots address me as Psy, most combine my name into PsyLon which is fine with me. Maybe that will work during my time in OUCH and eliminate potential confusion when I'm online.
I attended my 1st OUCH training class (Merlin instructing) on Sunday. Great class, I had a good time and learned some new things. It shows that even old dogs like myself can learn a new thing or two when given good instruction.
I wish this program existed in 2006 when I began playing Eve.

10. It's like the Wild West only there are no good guys in white hats... It's either bad guys that want to shoot you, or bad guys that want to help you shoot others...
9. Everything cloaks in Curse. Cloaky Drake? Seen it. Cloaky Dramiel? Seen it. Cloaky 'geddon Navy Issue? Seen it. Orca? You guessed it. But just because it cloaks doesn't mean it escapes...
Join us. Because killing cloakies is serious bi'ness.

8. Everything cynos in Curse. Ever seen a cyno cynabal? We got 'em in Curse. Drakes, drams, cyclones, falcons, badgers, you name it. They've all been known to carry cynos in Curse. How do I know? Well, you have to crack open the egg to find the yolk. OUCH's camp curse has been known to blue ball many a fleet. Sometimes they get really frustrated. Frustrated enough to try to bait and hot drop us with all kinds of shiny goodness. Enough shine to show just how badly they wanted to kill us. It just makes it that much sweeter when we slip out of the trap and leave them with nothing but the smoking remains of spent cyno fuel.
Join us. (By the way, we sell cyno fuel in Curse...)

Join us. For love of God, country and Ryan Gosling.

Sard even records our fights with him so we can actually hear what his fleet mates say about our merry band of killer noobs. Most recently, Susan Black decided our fleet looked like we would bring her the gud fight. She left in her pod.
Join us. But forget about the gud fights. In Curse, it's all about setting up the gud gank. |

7. It's as close as you can currently get to actual sovereignty by occupation. If you want to carve out a home in Curse, you can only do so by actively living there. There are good moons for mining, great planets for PI, plenty of places to set up a POS for industry or research AND you can do so with an NPC station in system. Mucho isk is there for the taking. But you can't just set up in a system and expect it to stay free from attack. If you want the iskies, you gotta live there. You gotta defend your home. Everyday.

2. Curse has great geography. Wherever you are in Curse, you are only a few short jumps from Derelik and high sec. From there, it's only a few more jumps to Rens where you can buy anything your black little heart desires. If you are looking for combat, Curse has several choke point systems where you can set up bubble camps for a little ice fishing. Or, if you prefer roaming with your little band of cut throats, the Curse pipeline to high sec provides a neat little highway for you to seek out other fleets looking for the "gud fight". And where else in all of New Eden can you find a system named 0SHT-A?
Join us. But unfold your map before jumping into Curse. And stick to the paved highways. The dirt roads lead to trouble.

1. And the Number One reason I Love Living in Curse? The Open University of Celestial Hardship, of course.
When I joined OUCH two and a half years ago, the corp -- although billing itself as a training corp -- had no real instructors and no real training program. The program was simply a forum with a lot of material explaining aspects of null sec survival and a couple of experienced pilots that liked to share their thoughts with noobs. To graduate, one had only to successfully run the pipeline through Curse without losing his ship. Try as often as you like. The day you were lucky enough to get through is the day you graduated. And the OUCH motto at the time was: "You're going to die. A Lot. But with OUCH training we'll teach you to die less."
Today, OUCH is truly a null sec survival and introductory PvP training corporation. We have experienced trainers and thoroughly documented training course curriculum. Graduation requirements still include running the pipeline, but much more as well. Our focus has broadened beyond simply surviving travel through null sec to now include small gang fleet operations, threat assessment, target engagement, etc. We've also dropped that old fatalistic motto.
So that explains OUCH's purpose today, but why do I and the other core members stay? Because the core truly is a great bunch of guys to hang out with. We are low drama (except when Bren switches from scotch to coffee...). We enjoy teaching noobs and experienced Care Bears (it fulfills the desire to give back to the Eve community). We share a foundational philosophy that the Eve a person plays is a very personal game. Just because I don't play Eve the way you play Eve doesn't make me Terribad (although I may be). In fact, one of OUCH's greatest measures of "winning" is in thwarting an antogonist's preferred play style. Our greatest joys in game include: killing shinies above our class in T1 frigs and getting away without a single loss; killing the bait ships while avoiding the trap, generally causing havoc and frustrating the fleets of our respected opponents in Curse.
Join us. You'll learn to love Curse! |

I can't agree more; this corp is exceptional. I'm still working my way through the OUCH program but I can safely say that joining OUCH was a great decision.
Things I like about OUCH.....(from a student perspective)
- The premanent members play/work together; they're not a group of disconnected pilots pursuing their own agendas.
- Teamwork , staff and students, working together as a unit.
- The commarderie displayed among the Ops team, fun to listen to and often educational to nul/pvp newbs such as myself.
- Members, staff and students alike, are friendly and helpful.
- The training modules, well thought out, well planned, and presented by capable instructors; moreover, they are fun to attend!
- All questions are answered promptly, in TS or in the forums. In OUCH, you have lots of experience to draw from.
- Best of all, OUCH shares this knowledge and experience with carebears like me. Thanks OUCH!

Everyday it seems there is another blog offering wisdom on how to improve the "new player experience" and how to prevent trial players from quitting out of sheer frustration at the learning curve and the HTFU attitude of vets. They propose revamping the tutorials, creating PvP-free noob zones, even completely removing non consensual combat from all of hi sec.
It's really not that complicated. Eve is a social game. Eve is a blamk canvas upon which each player is free to write his own story. No amount of tutorials or tweaks to game mechanics will prevent noobs from feeling lost in the vast open sandbox which is Eve Online. Noobs need experienced players to guide them and help them understand the many ways to interact with the game and with other players.
This is the service which OUCH provides. Send us your newly recruited friends, your noobs, your Care Bears. We will teach them the skills they need to survive. We will help them discover how to play the game their way. We will help them understand why so many of us exchange the hours of our real lives to explore the wonders of this remarkable, virtual Wild West.
Join us.

For those of you that don't keep up with the meta game, heed this warning:
Stay out of Jita and surrounding systems this weekend. Burn Jita 2.0 kicks off tomorrow. Expect some early birds to start killing haulers today. You have been warned.
What to do while avoiding Jita? Why, join OUCH and learn to survive and fight in null sec, of course!

I told you in my #7 Reason Why I Love Living in Curse that Ryan Gosling lives here. Well, Ryan sightings have now become more common than Elvis sightings at the 7-11. Yesterday, I saw no less than 11 sightings within a two hour time period. And now I hear Enrique Inglesias has been spotted! Where are all these Falcon pilots coming from?
Join us. And let me know if you spot Enrique...

If you spend a little time watching kids play in the sandbox, you'll see many different play styles. There are the kids who build upwards, molding the sand into towers and spires. There are the kids who begin digging deep to find the wet sand and carve out tunnels and grottos. There are the kids who simply scratch at the surface, making tracks and spirals. Then there are the mean kids, who just want to fling sand in the other kids' faces and wipe out their creations. And, finally, there is that one kid that no one wants to talk about. You know the one. The one who simply sits and watches what the others are doing, while they all all ignore him. And, then without warning, he steps out of his little shorts and pees all over the sand.
Can you guess which one will grow up to be the OUCH pilot?
Join us. But, please, keep your shorts on until the FC gives the order.

If you are new to Eve, or new to Nulsec/pvp, let OUCH teach you the basics of surviving and thriving in nul. This is not a 4 hour crash course that takes you immediately, and most likely unprepared, into nul sec. The OUCH program is a self paced, progession of training, that will ease you into nul as you acquire the skills needed to survive in nul. You'll never be totally safe, but if you practice what is taught, your chance of survival will greatly increase.
The lessons learned from my time in OUCH have improved both my gameplay and my enjoyment of Eve. Consider joining OUCH.....

We talk alot about our mission being to teach players to survive in nullsec. But we actually teach much more than just evasion and survival techniques. While I'm out of game the next few days moving household, I will work on putting up posts outlining the many other aspects of living in null that students will learn by joining OUCH.
One of our key teachings is that any pilot older than a week can contribute meaningfully to small gang combat. If the player can fly a T1 frig and fit the holy trinity of web-scram-AB, we will make him a valuable component of our fleet. He will not just be cannon fodder. We will first teach him to tackle and to survive. As his skills grow, we will give him greater roles and ease him into more complicated ships and fittings. But that is for later. For now, I want the true noob player to know he is welcome and he will learn.

One of the OUCH prime directives is that we teach students to only take on fights that you believe you can win. We do not believe in the "gud fight". We do not bring out ships with the intention of seeing them explode in a ball of fire. This applies even to the cheapest T1 student tackle frig.
Our Ops members apply a mathematical formula to compare the OUCH fleet to the aggressor fleet. If the result meets a certain threshold, we engage; otherwise, we let the aggressors move on to greener pastures. If you happen to be in fleet with one of our many respected opponents in Curse, take heed: if we do not go "skirts to the wind" from your fleet, it's because we've done the math. And the math says the explosions will not be ours.
Join us. The math is not scary.

Imagine yourself plopped down in the middle of an unfamiliar NPC nullsec region. You've never travelled in this region before. You have no bookmarks. You do not know the residents, geography, level of activity. For all intents and purposes, you are absolutely ignorant of this region. You know only that you are in a cheaply-fit T1 frigate, and you are 16 jumps from hisec. And, just to make it interesting, you have a billion isk worth of implants in your head.
What are your chances for making it out without losing your pod?

What does the typical person do when they discover a 'great deal' or have an 'exceptional experience'? Well, I tell my family and friends, so they can get the same great deal/experience. This is exactly why I recommend OUCH to everyone I meet in my Eve travels.
My time in OUCH continues to be an exceptional experience and I learn even more each time I fly with this group. The OUCH program is run by pilots who are not only knowledgable and friendly, but passionate about sharing their knowledge with the Eve community. Their commitment to ongoing training, assessment, and improvement assures the OUCH program will continue to be both relevant and beneficial to all who complete it.

In-depth knowledge of bubbles (mobile warp disrupters and warp disruption probes) is key to surviving in null sec. Do you know the difference between a stop bubble and a drag bubble? Do you know how to place a bubble on a gate? On a planet or moon? Do you know how to use an interdictor bubble to split a fleet and protect your retreat? Do you know how alignment and grid control whether or not you get swept up in the bubble? Do you even know the radius of the various bubble sizes?
Unless you can fully explain how bubbles work and how to place them to greatest effect, it is only a matter of time before you are caught like a fly in a web. OUCH will teach you bubble mechanics.

I joined OUCH after reading some great posts from both students and foes. It sounded like a great program but you never really know until you actually try it. Eight short weeks later, I've graduated. Although I've had a bit of training in other corps, I've never felt the level of success and accomplishment that I got out of the OUCH program.
What makes the OUCH program different, and better than other programs?
Several things come to mind: great organization, great core members combined with exceptional leadership througout the corp, great training material and the list goes on.... However, the same things can be said of other training corps such as Eve Uni and Agony.
One aspect that sets OUCH apart from other programs is that OUCH has defined graduation requirements.....
Students can't can't complete the program by simply attending classes, or going on a roam. Each student must successfully complete a solo nulsec travel run without losing their ship, and be involved in 10 'real' kills out 'On the Bubble' before they graduate from the program. The OUCH graduation medal must be earned.
This is one aspect that made this program both enjoyable and satisfying; I had to earn that medal.
I totally enjoyed my time with OUCH and I've since rejoined the corp with a different pilot. I'm looking forward to sharing what I've earned with any who chose to join OUCH. |

It never ceases to amaze me how some players remain totally oblivious to what goes on around them. Everyday I see pilots jump into system, pause long enough to see they did not jump into a gate camp, and then warp straight to the next gate with no regard for the 18 pilots in local. Or they jump in, see we have only three frigates on grid and decide to engage, not noticing that we have 15 other pilots in local. I'm convinced that there are three kinds of pilots in nullsec... Those who can count and those who cannot count.
Join us. We teach counting classes.

Pilots, oblivious to their surroundings, continue to lose ships. Pilots who join OUCH, become aware of their surroundings, learn how to avoid threats, and they lose fewer ships.
Many pilots mistakenly think Hi-Sec is safe. The bitter truth is that one is only safe when they're docked in a station. Everyone is a target and Concord can't fully protect anyone. In popular Hi-Sec systems, it is not uncommon to see 80 in local. 79 might be going about their business, but what about the lone griefer who is looking to for an easy target i.e. your expensive barge or industrial along with its expensive cargo.
OUCH teaches pilots to be situationally aware, regardless of where they choose to operate, HiSec, LoSec, or Nulsec. An alert pilot recognizes threats, and is prepared to counter those threats. Such pilots are much less likely to lose their ships.
Which type of pilot do you want to be? |

OUCH chooses to live in NPC nullsec because that's where the action is. There is no mindless SOV structure grinding (not much anyway). There are no vast swaths of empty systems. It is not possible to play nullbear games of semi-afk mining or ratting.
Success in NPC nullsec means true sovereignty by occupation. If you want to carve out your niche here, it means living here. You cannot simply clone jump in every few days to collect your moon goo and PI goods. You have to occupy the space. You have to fight to earn the respect of your neighbors.
Comparing NPC nullsec to SOV space, is like comparing owning investment property in Dubai to living on 6th Street in Austin. You might make a ton of money on the investments property, but 6th Street is where the action is.

One of our recent graduates posted the following on our forum:
"What OUCH does for students is incredible. YES it's "just a game," but the confidence you teach to people that are willing to learn helps them not only as a pilot, but in their lives. The sense of pride and accomplishment is more than just another acheivement; it opens up an entirely new level of playing EVE than could be reached before. I watched this transition in [name redacted] and I can tell you, just hearing and watching how he transitioned from carebear to combat pilot was a very neat thing to witness."

As of this month, OUCH has now graduated over 200 students. That may not seem like much considering how long we've been around; however, we do not graduate students following a single class or roam. Graduation from OUCH represents a significant investment of both the player's game time, and the game time of several OUCH instructors. Training consists of nine structured modules which take a total of about 10 hours to complete. Following the classes, students must then successfully negotiate a nullsec gauntlet run, and join our fleets to participate in a specified number of kills. Only then can the student apply for graduation.
Although we accept all applicants, our program is not for everyone. It can be intense. It can be frustrating at times. Depending upon the skills and experience of the student, he may feel as if he's being fed with a fire hose or he may feel he is being forced to crawl at a snail's pace.
But there can be no doubt that our graduates have gained a wealth of knowledge that vastly elevates their play.
Join us. See what we have to offer.

Eve is a complex, difficult, and often unforgiving game to learn. If it were as easy as Wow, a few million pilots would be logged in nightly. It takes time, patience, and some tenacity to become proficient in the different areas: industry, mining, trading, pvp, etc. There are so many avenues to explore and each has its own learning curve.
The OUCH program focuses on two popular areas: nulsec survival skills and basic pvp. As with any educational program, students reap what they sow. Those who put in the time to attend modules, apply the lessons taught, and finally practice, practice, practice, reap the greatest benefit.
If you're willing to put in the time, then join us and elevate your game. |

There is always something to learn in Eve, just look at all the changes introduced in Odyssey. For myself, I'm constantly reminded how much I yet to learn, especially in the area of PvP. I totally ignored PvP for most of my time in Eve, but now I have a new found interest. Thankfully, in OUCH, I have many great pilots to learn from.
There are many ways to learn more about PvP:
1) Just go do it, i.e. learn from the School of Hard Knocks. Buy a bunch of ships and go find some pew-pew. It may be expensive and one should expect to lose a few ships.
2) Search the Internet. There is plenty of information out there, the problem is separating the good advice from the bad.
3) Join a PvP corporation. Eve has many good PvP corporations out there but their focus is not always on training. Focus is often on PvP and while the new guy might get a class or two, much of the learning still comes from the 'School of Hard Knocks'.
4) Eve University offers some self-paced training videos/recordings, sometimes supplemented with student roams. I don't see many instructor led offerings, but I'm also not an expert on Eve Uni.
5) With Agony Unleashed, players can join one of their training classes / roams. These are usually largely attended events as we see Agony blobs regularly roaming Curse.
6) Join OUCH. OUCH exists to train pilots. (This is the option I recommend.)
Highlights of the OUCH program:
- Instructor led classes scheduled weekly. Plenty of time to get good information and ask any questions.
- Plenty of live-fire PvP 'Out on the Bubble' each week.
- Active forum with great guides and other training material
- Active TeamSpeak, where students are welcome to listen in and ask questions
- An Operations Team that is passionate about the mission of OUCH: Sharing knowledge and experience.

Odyssey sure brought a lot of changes. Good? Bad? It all depends upon your personal Eve. That's the beauty of the game. That's the paradigm of the sandbox. Your Eve is very personal, and no two people play the same game.
But no matter what your Eve, and no matter how expansions change the game, Eve is a dangerous place. Nullsec? Lowsec? Hisec? There is NO place even reasonably safe in New Eden.
OUCH can teach you to survive. Teach you to travel through hostile space. And teach you to assess threats and engage targets on your terms, according to your play style.

Those of us for whom the mystery and majesty of New Eden is our siren's call know that we are here for the long haul. We have ambitions, vague they may be, that stretch into the months and even years ahead. We may not know where we will be living this time next year, but we know exactly when we will finish training Advanced Spaceship Command V.
With such a long view on skill points, doesn't it make sense to invest a small portion of your game time to learning actual game mechanics and piloting skills? What if, by spending just a few weeks with an experienced training corp, you could dramatically improve your game? Would you invest the time? No? Well, then we'll see you on the red side of the killboard.

When I started playing Eve some years back, the concept of the game being a big sandbox was foreign. My previous MMO experience came from EverQuest, DAoC and WOW. Eve was just a cool space based MMO and admittedly the most complex MMO I've played. It was hard for me to grasp that pilots make the rules in Eve. A pilot is free to play the hero, or to be the villain. Pilots are free to adopt any play-style that fits, and fly any ship for which they have the skills/resources.
For example: When I first ventured into null, I fully expected to lose my ship and probably my pod. So, I chose a cheap frigate and used a clone with no implants. My wallet would not sustain a riskier play-style. After a couple losses, I bought a cov-ops frigate thinking a cloak would make navigating nul easier. However, as I quickly discovered, a cloak doesn't offer much advantage if you don't understand the mechanics of nul. I obviously didn't understand how to navigate nul and my ship was soon snared in a dictor bubble and popped.
Surprisingly I see the same behavior exhibited regularly in Curse, only it isn't always in a cheap frigate but often in an expensive transport with a hold full of faction loot, blueprints, exploration loot, etc. Many pilots jump gate-to-gate and land squarely in our bubble. Our merry band is always excited to see a transport ship.; such prizes make our day.
Ouch can help pilots, new or old, better understand nul mechanics, bubbles, and why it is risky to warp gate to gate. Join us, train with us and get tools to more easily navigate nul while reducing the risk to both ship and pod. Our training also covers basic PvP, where you can be the hunter vs the prey. The training is free, and we accept all who apply.
On the other hand, pilots are always welcome to play the game their way. Fly any ship they want, anywhere they want. Jump into nul and have a ball. If that is your play-style, please visit Curse. Traffic has been slow, so fly out and visit our bubble. Our staff and students are eager to entertain you.

Our merry group of staff and students recently entertained a player claiming to be 'new to EvE'. One never knows if the pilot was truly GÇÿnewGÇÖ or just claiming to be new. In any event, the poor guy landed in our bubble where he was quickly dispatched and provided a fast trip to his home station. Shortly after, he asked , why he was attacked, his ship destroyed, and his pod killed. Welcome to EvE Online; a dangerous place for a new and unprepared pilot.
Anyone who ventures into the hostile space of Eve-Online risks attack the minute their ship enters space. It doesnGÇÖt matter if the pilot is in hi-sec, lo-sec, or nul-sec space, everyone is vulnerable. Those who play the Eve accept this peril; however, knowledge and skills allow pilots to travel about Eve more safely. OUCH teaches pilots how to avoid and counter the risk of attacks and traps. We teach survival skills, and provide an introduction to pvp. Players may not be interested in, or even desire to engage in pvp; however, it is only a question of when, not if, they find themselves in a pvp situation.

Hisec, lowsec, nullsec and W-space. These are the major playgrounds in New Eden. Some are typically considered more dangerous than others, but there is no doubt that all are dangerous. The real difference in these areas is not the degree of danger or likelihood of pod death. The real difference is simply a matter of broad rules of engagement. Oftentimes, the successful pilot is the one who understands the rules of his area of operations. And pod death comes to those who do not understand the mechanics of bubble camps and gate ganks.
While OUCH chooses to play in nullsec, the things you will learn as an OUCH student will prepare you for whatever playground you choose to call home.

A former member of Eve University and former OUCH student has posted an unsolicited assessment of the OUCH training program over in the Eve Uni Work Fair forum. It's an honest and insightful assessment. Well worth a read.

Mid sept of 2012... I had just gotten my email From O.U.C.H. Graduation after having completed all requirements. I had been part of many gate kills some we shouldn't have.. also lost a couple ships on the Gate... did a couple roams with Sygma... those ended Badly.

I got hit in the middle of the crosswalk by a drunk driver.. needless to say, I been awhile getting back into shape.... looking to maybe... if allowed to join back into O.U.C.H. for another go around.... after all I have been outta everything for a good bit. |

Togg, I remember you and think I even taught one of your classes. Sorry to hear about your accident. You were dropped from corp due to inactivity. You are free to re-apply and can go back through again if you'd like. We'd be glad to have you back.

Every student should take something away from OUCH training. Some will take more, some less, depending on the students' previous experience, and the amount of effort put into the program. We realize that our program is not ideal for everyone, but those who complete the training become better pilots as a result.
OUCH is a free program. The only cost to the student is an investment of their time. OUCH instructors volunteer their playtime to lead classes, be available in TS for questions, and introduce students to nulsec PvP. We do so because we want to see each student succeed and get more enjoyment from this great game. Join us. |

Bored with mining, tired of repeating the same old missions? Then spice up your gameplay and generate some excitement; test the waters in nulsec. Nothing like having a dozen hostiles chasing you to generate some adrenaline. Enjoy the satisfaction of eluding your pursuers while avoiding traps: bubbles, gate camps, etc.
Let OUCH show that a new, or minimally skilled, pliot can navigate null with less risk, and contribute to a pvp fleet while flying only a T1 firgate.
OUCH offers:
Classes taught in the 'relative' safety of hi-sec. Active TS, students and instructors online to answer questions. No cost to the student; OUCH accepts everyone; new and old, no interviews, and no API checks. Hands-on, live-fire experience flying a tackler role in our PvP fleets.
Only a T1, student fit , frigate and some of your gametime is required.
Join our ingame channel OUCH-UNI for more info, or simply apply.

Having been through the training and graduated from OUCH .
I can honestly say this is a great program for those wishing to learn to PVP. Classes are excellent and very informative, as are the Instructors that teach them.
Nothing was too much trouble for them if you had any questions you only had to ask.
Was an absolute pleasure to fly with this corp that taught me how to survive and fight. It has increased my knowledge, given me the confidence and most importantly, increased my enjoyment of Eve substantially.
Learn to fly dangerous and have fun, You won't regret it.
All the best OUCHies

After few fights you see how recently peaceful miner from high sec ,starting to have lust for more blood."This is fun" and things like that ,make you happy.Even more if you were student not long time ago,and your sharing what you learned is making more ppl involved in null sec and pvp in general.

Not for me. Small gang pvp is where it's at.

I'm thrilled to be a member of OUCH. Although real life has put a dent in my playtime, I'm always excited to login and join in corp activities as I have time. I learned a lot as a student and continue to learn much more as a member. Given the rate at which CCP expands and tweaks Eve, the need for continued learning is a given.
Last night I had the opportunity to audit Modules 6 and 7 with one of our senior OPs members. Thanks Ze! I will be teaching these modules in the near future and wanted to see how another instructor presents the material. I view teaching as another extension of my continuing Eve education. Our team has a great deal of collective experience, so there is a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw from in OUCH. Plus, I still enjoy sitting in our classes. Experiencing students' excitement and enthusiasm first hand is contagious. During classes I'm constantly reminded of the excitement, awe, and sometimes frustration, I felt when I began playing Eve years ago.
I'm obviously biased but I strongly believe OUCH has the best program available to introduce any interested pilot to the fun of navigating and fighting in nulsec. If this sounds interesting to you, join us!

We've been having a blast flying in Curse, showing new players how to avoid becoming a statistic on someone else's killboard. Our students quickly learn that preparation and situational awareness go a long way to surviving in null sec. Those null sec skills apply in low sec and high sec too.
Lots of corps will tell you that the advantage of learning with them is you learning by doing: they aren't going to bore you with lectures. They'll bring you out to null in the safety of a 5 to 20 man fleet and leave you to your own devices. Unfortunately, outside of the safety of the fleet, you can find yourself all alone trying to figure out how to get home safely.
OUCH teaches a formal program: we lecture, and we teach practical excersises for you to get a greater understanding of the skill set we are trying to pass along to you. Only then do we send you into null sec for you to hone those skills.
Use those skills to fly alone in the depths of null sec space. You won't need the safety in numbers that larger corps use to travel in null.
Now, trial and error works, but it's a much longer road than actively being trained, mentored and coached through our program.

After a couple years of sitting in hi-sec running missions i was getting quite bored with EVE as a game, I had seen this OUCH recruitment thread before and after a bit of research i decided to try see what they had to offer.
So just over a month spent in OUCH as a student and i'm loving it. Yes they have rules to follow but they are there so you don't go charging into null and loose everything you have. You fly T1 frigs with T1 fittings and after some basic training you can go into null and be part of a few gate camps.
OUCH instructors give their time freely to help train you up and help you understand what null is like and how to get more out of EVE, so if you are find yourself not bothering logging on to run your level 4's or your new to EVE then i would recommend giving OUCH's training course a go.

If your're considering joining OUCH, this weekend 9/20-9/22 would be a great time to start. We're offering Modules 1-3 on Saturday (required for modules 4-5) and modules 4-5 on Sunday. If you have some free time, you can knock out over half of our training modules in one weekend. Completion of Modules 1-5 allows you to enter Nul, begin making bookmarks, and attempt the survival run.
Join us, kill more and die less! (Meet some great people and have some fun to boot.) |

Okay, New Guy, let me break this down to you:
NPC null space is like low sec with warp disruptor bubbles and but no security status hits, so where someone might not shoot you in low because there are station or gate guns nearby, they don't worry about that in NPC null:
They just shoot you.
Curse, where OUCH lives, is considered one of the most dangerous regions of null sec in new Eden. You don't have to take my word of it, you can search for Dotlan Maps, Statistics and see for yourself. This week, it's Number 1.
Right now, TRIBE and TEST are two SOV alliances who have come out to Curse to rebuild, refresh, renew themselves? Lots of other SOV alliances and corporations are out here too, trying to get a piece of them. Razor, RED Alliance, Pizza, Black Legion and Pandemic Legion head the list of the more famous.
Since the locals don't like SOV alliances, it's gotten very exciting. Very, very exciting.
And OUCH? We're teaching null survival right smack dab in the middle of it all.  Art of War Alliance -á-á Life on the Bubble

We pretty much fail at being forum tigers... I guess that's part of the reason we are still one of New Eden's best kept secrets.
So if you are looking for a structured environment to learn the ways of 0-sec dwellers. OUCH is just the place for you. We teach all the needed skills to do barrelrolls, backflips and God knows what more to escape your adversaries. OUCH's prime focus is on 0-sec survival with a sniff of pvp to top it off.
We excell at that, we truly do. No hidden agenda, SP requirements, interviews, we are an Open University after all.
Looking forward to greet you in corpchat, no scratch that we actually hate corpchat... The students that run our complete course are typically the ones that make it over to TS. So a working headset, Ts3 and the willingness to learn are actually the only requirements I can think of.

L.S.
Most EVE players know there is a certain code of conduct amongst spacewarriors. One versus one's should always be honoured. The use of ECM during fights is considered unmanly tactics. Real PVP'ers roam instead of sitting at a gatecamp for hours on end. Man hold their ground, even if this means they are outnumbered by a 2:1 or even worse ratio. You could say this is the way of spacebushido. If a pilot for whatever reason fails to live up to rules like some I mentioned above. He or she should start the act of seppuku immediately. This is the only way to save your face in the cold harsh universe that is New Eden.
OUCH is very often accused of ignoring those terms. But then again OUCH does not care if a neutral pilot is ECM'd to death. OUCH does not mind to flee the field like chickens chased by the fox. OUCH pilots are rather lazy and prefer their targets warping in. The typical OUCH pilot has never heard of the Battle of Thermopylae. And last but not least, the typical OUCH pilot just loves the colourfull terms and expressions pop into local after the succesfull destruction of spaceships on their behalve. I guess everyone plays his own EVE.
OUCH's behaviour can be summarized into the will to control the battlefield. We like to fight on our terms. After all our motto is; "Kill more, die less".
So there you have it, the main focus of OUCH is survival first and foremost. That and awareness, know your limitations and theirs.
In short, don't fly stupid. |

There are a lot of corps out there. Universities and academies abound. Most of them will tell you that they are going to teach you. Most of them are just holding corps for rookies so they can filter out the idiots.
Most of those self same corporations will tell you that they won't waste your time with stuffy lectures, they'll point you to some posts someplace and then tell you that you should learn by doing. Have you jump into cruisers with substandard skills and fly in a large gang where you're just a number, or put you in frigate tackle and tell you you're supposed to die in a ball of fire.
We think that they are doing it all wrong. 
The road to survival comes much easier in a structured environment, where you get told how to do it, then shown how to do it, take time to practice what you've learned before you go out and prove it to yourself. OUCH has talented instructors who take time out from aggressively pursuing kills on the kill board to take the time to teach new players how to travel in null sec.

I've been in HiSec most of my time in Eve... but I've always wanted to venture into more dangerous waters to search for greater riches. However, I was pretty sure I'd die in a ball of fire if I tried to step foot in Null. While poking around the forums, I found these guys and joined up.
The 0UCH staff are very professional, and their course is well organized. I found everyone in the corp to be friendly, helpful and dedicated to teaching people the ways of Null and PvP. If you want to get into PvP, learn how to travel in Null or if you're just curious on what goes on 'out there', you can't go wrong in joining 0UCH.
I recently graduated from 0UCH, and although I'm pretty sure I'll die in a fire every now and then, I now have the knowledge to make them work harder for that kill. This training has opened up new avenues of gameplay for me, and I'm happy I took the time to work through their course.
You have nothing to lose. Join 0UCH and go have some fun! |

Don't let this be your Eve legacy. The statement quoted above summarizes my Eve experience prior to joining OUCH. I spent time in several nul sec corps but ultimately nul was just a dark, scary place. My nul experience wasn't good, so I spent most of my Eve playtime in hi-sec. Over time, I became increasingly bored, frustrated with hi-sec ganking/griefing, and I seriously considered just quitting Eve.
OUCH showed me that skills, while beneficial, aren't all that important. The real power comes from knowledge and experience. OUCH shares this knowledge and when this knowledge is put into practice, confidence and experience are gained. Students that make it into nul, and pvp with OUCH, post more kills than losses. Students who complete the program are not fresh meat, or an easy kill. They know how to survive when odds are not in their favor.
Join OUCH, let us show you how to survive in nul sec. |

Boy, I sure had a full class yesterday. I covered fleet tactics, scouting, and provided an introduction to what it takes to be the FC. Also covered was the meta game that EVE relies on.
Where were you in during this? We provide you the tools to survival in null sec. These tools not only will allow you to survive, they will allow you to thrive. WH and Low sec should open up to you as well.

I have just finished the Ouch training course and i have to say it was one of the best times i have had in eve. I spent all my time in high sec before it, too scared to venture into null. These guys trained me in high sec only letting me into low sec once i was ready. The classes are well run and with low numbers of students and teach everything you need for survival in null.
You can do it the hard way and just jump into null and die or get these guys to show you the way.

There was some big fight thingee in HED-GP the other day. Something about nodes overloaded and a bunch of capitals were lost. People are writing CCP complaining that they lost their ship. I guess there some tears on more than one forum.
CCP apologized... I don't understand why. I mean, if playing Eve on the same grid with 2000 of your closest friends breaks the game, maybe you should do small gang PvP instead?
No TiDi. No node crashes. Sounds like much more fun to me, but what do I know?
Anyway, we'll teach you how to get to HED-GP. You have to decide if you really want to jump in there.  Art of War Alliance -á-á Life on the Bubble

RL sucks, well at least it does tonight. Stuck at work; I could be out on the bubble with Ops members and students. Teaching classes and shooting at shiny internet spaceships; this is my Eve. I fully enjoy the team focused, small gang warfare in which OUCH engages.
Life is much simpler in OUCH than it was in the Sov alliances: fewer rules, little drama, virtually no politics, great allies, and lots of action with a great group of pilots. Yes, life is good in OUCH.
If you want to experience the good life in nul-sec space, join OUCH. Let us show you how to survive and thrive in nul. |

tldr: bump!!
To new capsuleers, If you are fresh out of the tutorial and curious about NULLSEC, if you've heard the advice of joining a player corporation as soon as possible, but get overwhelmed by the number of choices if you feel like you have to earn X amount of ISK and reach Y amount of skill points before pursuing your pvp dream or if you are willing to plummet myself into the wild west of EVE from day 1 but don't want to do so blindly
Please consider a sojourn with OUCH while thinking about your eve future.
Although we focus on nullsec survival/basic pvp, but the situation awareness you gain from OUCH training will benefit you whatever you do (pvp or pve), wherever you live (low, null and high sec, wormhole space...)

Well, I was looking into joining a corp. to learn about surviving in null-sec, as well as learning to be a combat pilot, preferably in a Capital class ship. For the training what is the difference between EVE time and EST? As well as how do I sign up? |

Our classes are scheduled Thursday evenings at 01:00 Eve time which is Wed night 8PM EST/US, and on Sat/Sun afternoons at 18:00 Eve time which is 1pm EST/US. You can simply search for the "Open University for Celestial Hardship corporation in game, and apply for membership.
Join channel OUCH-UNI for more details.
Note: Students are only allowed to fly T1 frigs with T1 fittings in our classes. We don't teach capital ships, but we will teach you how to survive and then introduce you to pvp.

OUCH is first and foremost a training corporation. Our program teaches pilots how to survive the dangers of nul-sec. Many pilots join the program, some graduate, most move on, but a few apply to join the Operations team. Students, upon graduation, can apply to join OUCH Operations.
OUCH Operations is not for everyone, but for those who enjoy: teaching new pilots, team focused small-gang pvp, and expanded training opportunities, OUCH can be a good place to call home.
If new (or old) to Eve, join us and let us show you how to kill more and die less.. |

It's been awhile since I posted, so I figure I better get busy if I'm gonna to retake the lead from Bren on number of likes.
Our cadre of instructors continues to grow. It always amazes me how many players willingly give several hours of their playtime each month to help others.
Our instructors have come up through our program. Often, OUCH provided them their first opportunity to learn the ropes in nullsec. After spending time with us, they realize how little they knew and how OUCH has so enriched their game time. Many feel the obligation to give back, and then find the experience very rewarding. They decide to stay. To teach. And they continue to learn and grow.
Join us. Let us introduce you to null sec and to a greater Eve community.

My academics in [0uch] are winding down, just the practical portion and then I can petition to graduate. I started playing Eve when it popped up on sale on Steam back in January, and farted around doing PvE missions in hisec until stumbling across [0uch]. The quality of "education" has been nothing short of outstanding. The instructors are knowledgeable, experienced and eminently approachable about any manner of basic questions about the game. No matter what you want to do in Eve, whether it's industry, nullsec PvP, FW, or PvE, the knowledge and experience gained in 90 short days in [0uch] is invaluable. I cant stress enough what an amazing opportunity this corp offers to new players, and recommend anyone brand new to the game seriously consider floating this corp an app. |

My PVP experience prior to joining 0UCH consisted of getting ganked while making jump clones with Estel Arador and getting ganked again while trying to move into Sendaya.
Since joining 0UCH, I've adapted to null sec, and I treat everywhere like I treat nullsec: as a place of constant dangers that are largely avoidable, once you know the tricks.
Things I've learned: how to make the right bookmarks. Using D-Scan offensively and defensively. How to fly tackle and do so within a doctrine that helps ease students into combat. Classes are very personal and include practical exercises.
One of the hallmarks of the program is the nullsec roam. Show you have learned what you've been taught by taking a prescribed journey through a populated area of Curse without losing your ship.
I'll be honest: when I first saw five large bubbles and multiple interdictors waiting for me on the other side of a gate, I freaked. But then I took a deep breath, figured out a plan, and made it out alive. I knew I had options. 0UCH showed me what they were.
0UCH doesn't teach you to throw ships away. You will learn from other pilots during combat which fights certain doctrines can take and which ones they can't. There's no shame in running from an unwinnable fight; you don't owe a superior force anything.
"Kill more. Die less." That's what it's all about.
Join the OUCH-UNI channel in game to learn more. If you intend to move to nullsec, you have no idea how much this free training will help you. |

Highly recommend these guys to anyone who wants to learn null sec skills. Too often, new players join a null sec alliance/corp and end up as cannon fodder. So before jumping into that punisher and heading down to null, why not spend a while with these guys and learn how to survive in null ? The particular part of null where they live is probably one of the most dangerous parts of EVE that we have. So if you can survive, live and learn there, then nothing that your new home in another part of EVE will faze you. You'll be a more effective contributor to any corp/alliance that you join afterwards and that's always a good thing.

Summer's over!
It's that time of year again when people stop going outside and start keeping warm next to their computers.

If you are new to Eve and not sure where to begin, OUCH is a great 1st stop in your Eve journey. They'll teach you how to survive in the hostile space of Eve Online. |

Phoebe hit and now we're catching carriers in Curse. Crazy.
Obviously, some people have too much ISK if they're letting let a bunch of noobs in frigates blow up their capitals.
Course, I don't mind. :D

We've been busy, 400 ships destroyed by our instructors and students so far this month. It's kind of weird watching major alliances flying 40 man Armor HAC fleets with Archons for Logi, but we're getting used to that.
And of course, we just get out of the way. Really guys? That's a wee bit much for a handful of frigates and assault frigs with EWAR support.
We've learned to that it's best to choose your fight and try not to let it choose you.

i am tempted..
but let me ask you, is the space where you are based sort of safe..ish? do you have wars?
i got once invited into a null sec corp and no matter where i was, i got shot at instantly. -starting already in high sec- i think i died about 6-8 times just trying to reach them and i died another 10 times trying to leave their headquarters. being at war with apparently half of new eden doesnt help..
are you different? |

Terribly sorry to have missed this.
We live in Curse, which is a crossroads to null regions in the south. It's dangerous space, but from our perspective, it's pretty safe, mainly because we train to survive out here.
OUCH gets war-decd every so often. But we live mainly in null, so war-decs are more of an inconvenience than a hazard.
Yes, we're different. Join the OUCH-UNI channel in game and find out.

Curse is as exciting as expected, with folks looking for opportunities in the south. We've been testing out a new fleet composition, in between our usual training fleets and lecture cycle.
Lots of exciting changes on the horizon, new SOV mechanics are gonna flip people on their heads.
We'll probably just keep doing what we're doing though. Training new people to live in Curse is challenging enough.

Nulsec jumps used to be purely frightening. Lacking eyes in the destination system, a pilot jumps into an unknown situation. A smart pilot uses the tools available to get an idea as to what might be on the other side, but until the jump is made, he/she can't be sure what truely awaits them. Will it be into empty space? Is a cloaked interdictor laying in wait, or possibly a 20 man gate camp waiting to pounce?
Since joining OUCH, these jumps are no longer frightening; instead, they provide a big adrenaline rush. For me, the actual jump into the unknown situation, poses the greatest risk when navigating nul-sec. If I get away from the gate safely, then I'm in control of the situation. If I get caught after getting away from the gate, I most likely screwed up.
OUCH gives you the knowledge and skills to recognize traps, negate risks, and escape bad situations. There is always an element of risk, always a chance that I will be caught, but that is the part that makes this game so much fun. If there were no risk, EVE would become just another boring MMO.
The good news, OUCH provides this knowledge at no charge, and OUCH accepts all applicants. OUCH provides an instructor led training program that teaches pilots to navigate safely and introduces pilots to PvP. If such knowledge interests you, apply today! |
