Edited by: Smudge202 on 06/08/2008 01:07:29 Ok, long story short, I read about an uber old video called 'Evolution' on these forums. I can't remember whether I have seen it, so i search it on eve-files. Low and behold I found a 700+mB video by the same name, so I crossed my fingers and let my poor ol' connection download it for half an hour.
What I downloaded was not only a bad video, it annoyed me that someone can take up 700+mB of precious chribba's eve-files space for such a piece of cack. The video I'm talking about can be found here but I strongly, strongly, strongly, unberwtfbbqpwn, advise against wasting the bandwidth and your time to download it.
So, why am I wasting even more of my life now writing about the video? Simple, in the hope that the uploader, or a friend thereof, will read this post and learn something.
The following is my criticism on each of the fights shown in the video, and I by no means offer myself as a PvP expert, simply a whinging 'back seat driver'. 
Fight One - 00:00:31 > 00:02:01
- Manage your drones
From what I can tell, this video was made before the drone-micro-managing nerf. At which point you should be showing the health of all your deployed drones. Recall them when they start taking damage to break the lock of the person shooting them. Back when this video was filmed, this would also give your drones full shield, not anymore though. If your drones are all the dps you have, this is even more important!
- Tracking Disruptors on a Missile Barge? - wtf
So you know, Tracking Disruptors do not work on a Drake. Missiles are fired from Missile Launchers, not turrets. Don't waste the cap, help you're fleet out and use them on the rupture you already have targetted which is far more likely to be using turrets
Fight Two - 00:02:31 > 00:04:01
- Repairing your enemy!!!? - again, WTF!
Why on earth are you remote armour repping your target?! Drag that remote rep off of the top line so that you are less likely to accidentally activate it. How embarrassing... 
- Broadcast ONCE!
Your fleet have a broadcast window much the same as yours, though likely better positioned and less covered. If you need armour, broadcast that you need armour. A decent fleet will then do what they can to provide you with some armour. Don't keep broadcasting! Its no different to getting on ts/vent/fleet-chat and screaming about how your 'going down'. What if a second person needs armour? The FC for example... he/she is far more crucial, but he/she has the discipline to only broadcast the once, you spamming the broadcast button means your FC goes down ASWELL as your poorly tanked 'geddon.
- Control your Drones
We all know drones don't have the smartest AI. So control them. When you begin shooting a new target, the next thing on your 'to-do' list is send your drones to the new target. In close fought fights this can make the difference between your fleet winning and losing
- Cap Management
If your cap falls below 33.3% then you do not have a cap recharge time sufficient to accomdate your cap usage. So, if your cap falls below this point, and you can obviously foresee the fight continuing beyond your cap reaching 0%, that is when you should be injecting. Do not wait until your milliseconds away from having modules deactivate because you haven't clicked your injector soon enough. One lagspike and your modules could deactivate, disabling your warp scram and allowing your target to warp off. 'Lagspikes' are far from uncommon in eve ;)
- Overview Settings
Keep something warpable on your overviw if you have the space. Whether it be stargates, planets, stations, etc... keep something on your overview because when you inevitably go pop, you want to save those combat implants and get safe. If not done already; in larger fleet battles, disable effects to...

So, you dig into the archives of eve movie history, you pick out a movie, and you actually take your time to analyze each fight. Of course each and every one of your impressions of the various fight wont count for nothing what with the new game mechanics and all, and secondly; what? you must have alot of time on your hands, mate.

Uhh.
Right.
So, you go to EVE Files, download a random movie, which most of us probably haven't seen or don't remember seeing, and then analyse it to tell us it's bad, even though no one cares.
What the..?

Never seen the video, at least it was an amusing read.

Why are you flying a battleship without a Tech 2 Warp Disruptor in PvP? I can only hope that there was not one available on the market...
This is not a good criticism. Did he have a T1 warp disruptor? Was he soloing with no warp disruptor at all? |

this. i'm quite sure the "uber" evolution video you've been hearing about is not the one you just wrote us such a lovely essay on.

Btw, if you type evolution into that search area to the right side of the screen you would have gotten the results you actually needed.
Here is the link to the actual Evolution video released April, 2005. Sadly, the remainder is still a work in progress.
