EVE solo pvp guideline

Since I wrote this truely gigantic reply to a [newbro with a lot of questions](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/4hzfql/as_a_relatively_new_player_i_was_wondering_if/) and got a lot of positive feedback in return from many people after it turned out way more detailed and better than I expected, despiete beeing very long, way longer than I myself thought it would end up. Finally I decided to repost it here, so possibly some other new players with interest can see this.

Just to make this clear: **[PVP can be done sucessfully from day 1 on](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvOB4KXYk-o)!** However solo pvp is harsh and unforgiving, so increasing skills sure helps and getting in fleet with friends obviously as well, [however is not necessary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de1hwoFYA_k). Please don't let yourself get discouraged by the length of this post! The hours that went into this were invested to bring you the fun that is EVEs PVP closer to you!

Original reply:
  ---------------------
In eve everything is a matter of information. So i will provide said information as clear and as structured as I can get it across. Ffeel free to write me questions as well. For clarity this will be a huge list of pros and cons.

#Solo vs Gang PVP

Solo:
+ indipendent (time, ship, etc)
+ highly honorable
+ extremly rewarding if sucessfull
- often against the ods with 1vsMany
- can get frustrating
- high knowledge and SP requirements often need
.


Fleet:
+ easy to get in even with low SP
+ a social way to play eve
+ somewhat big brawls are really cool
+ Help from experienced members
+ Often Free ships for new people
- IF really many people: TIDI (slowmo mode for servers to catch up)
- Can get boring if noone is there to fight
- Need to adapt to the group
.


----------------------------------
#Motivation
Thats the biggest point about solo pvp, beacuse if you can't get yourself motivated, you will stop doing it:
Thats why I really like to watch and observe how other perform, fail and have their highest moments.
My favorites are:

- [Cold blood and his pimp Vindicator](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InzJ6YetQmo)
- [Everything from that guy](https://www.youtube.com/user/EveOnDemand/videos)
- [Especially this very helpfull video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikxC9nuXBZM)
- [This legendary video: fly free] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpyy6-eg2y0)

------------------------------


#Locations for PVP:

Highsec (Duels)
+ often unexperienced enemys,
+ near trade hubs for cheap supply
- pimped enemys if challenging Merchenary corp members and other nolifers who are still in highsec after years (pods, ships, mods, Links)
- Third party neutral Logi (not engageble until it reps, which happens from save distance)
- Drugs are illegal (they offer a cheap methode to increase your ship drastically, like 20% bonus to reps, etc.)
.


Faction warfare Lowsec regions  (relevant for solo)
+ many small ships, easy fights
+ Pod death avoidable
- Lots of gangs that will try to catch you.
- Often Pimped enemys with expansive ships
.


Normal lowsec
+ Fewer fast responding groups
+ Chance to find victims doing carebearbusiness
+ Gateg- Stationguns shooting an aggressor, adding ~350 super tracking omni dps to a victims dps
+ Pod death avoidable
- Bigger ships required to tank Gateguns/Conter the bigger ships around
- Not suitable for anything solo below a Cruiser
.


Nullsec
+- No gateguns
+- Frigate pvp is possible
+ alliances used to agress people= fights
- big alliances will be used to defend their space and blob
- bubbles = Pods die very often
.



--------------------------------------------

#What ships class?

Frigate 1-14m/death
+ cheap
+ fast to train
+ percieved as "easy targets"= fights
+ can get under bigger ships guns and "signature tank"= not getting hit because to small for opponent
- often thin and fast to lose
== most comon pvp starter class in FW low or nullsec
*Faction frigs are better t1 frigs, t2 frigs are specialized and pimped. (25-40m/death)
.

Destroyers 5-15m/death
+ high dps
- slower than Frigs
- more expansive then frig
== Often a nice way to compensate for low skills in engagements against frigs, harder to run away with
*No Faction. T2 Destroyers specialze in dps, surviability and catching others. T3 Destroyers are extremly high performers as generall combat ships, one of the most used ships in game. (60-90m/death)
.



Cruiser 16-40m/death
+ able to tank gateguns
+ optimum bewteen movement and combat ability
+ relativly cheap
- sometimes to less tank/dps
==One of the Favorite Class in game of most players. T1 Hulls are one of the most used solo hulls. t2 and t3 most used in big scale fleet fights.
*Faction are better t1 hulls (80-100m/death), t2 specialize again (200-300m/death) and t3 can be fit do to anything (not all at once tho) and that extremly well (400m-1.2B/loss)
.



Battlecruisers 80-120m/death
+ stronger than cruisers  (tank dps)
+ very comon class in lowsec
+ can use MJD to teleport 100km in a direction
- slower and easier to hit
== Basicly a cruiser on Steroids or a Battleship with an inferiority complex
*Faction BCs offer increased damage application bonuses. t2 are specialized as combat or fleet boosting ships
.

Battleships 220-300m/death
+ biggest subcap weapon platfrom
+ can use Stasis Grapler (super webifire with low effective range, makes it easier to hit small shit)
+ can use MJDs
- slow. (even if there are mainiacs actually kiting (~~see furhter below~~klick here) in these)
== Battleships are the main line for big support fleets for capitals but slow and without good support skills worthless and just a big target.
*faction battleships do the same thing but better again (400-800m/death), t2 Battleships are either super combat monsters or Black ops ships capable of jumping like capitals to ambush people with a lot of dps
.

-------------------
#Insurance:
If you plan to lose your pvp ship: insure it: especially t1 hulls. This will pay for about 80% and more of your Hull costs! (t1 works best, faction counts as t1, t2 is only 40%+- and t3 is shit anyways because of an additional skill loss and because t3s are normally fitted to the max and pimped)
-------------
#In Generall:
*1. A ship is only as good as you personally pilot it.*
*2. bringing the counter fit for a 1v1 engagement will let you win even in lower classes*
*3. Bigger is not allways better (aim for cruisers max for now!)*
*4. Start small with Frigates to learn how pvp works*
*5. There are mixed Faction ships called Pirate Faction ships, Those cost about as much as t2 versions and offer* something unique. Like a super strong web or incredible energy neuting power.*
*6. t1 is allways the base, t2 is doing something advanced, t3 is a generalization, faction/pirate offers something* new
*7. prices step up with every class, so does training time.*
.

-------------------------------------------




#Ship Suggestion:
I personally like gallente very much as they are really strong.  *Tristan* for example is an incredibly diversive platform to start with. Armor/shield, blaster/rail, brawling(close range)/Kiting(orbiting out of range to catch in a fast ship). Especially since nearly every ship uses drones, these are super helpfull skills to have.

Also this allows you to continue to work your way up to a [Vexor](https://zkillboard.com/br/76219/) Cruiser and later a [Myrmidon](https://zkillboard.com/br/76218/). Both known and feared for extrem power for what you pay for it in solo pvp and able to punch way above their own weight(look at the links). Even PVE is done often in a Vexor navy (more fitting, tank and dps) or an Ishtar(t2 vexor).

PSA: as i start to link dank battle reports now, be warned: solo [pvp](https://zkillboard.com/kill/53720709/) can be [very frustrating](https://zkillboard.com/kill/53721721/) as well, since you [will get blobbed a lot](https://zkillboard.com/kill/51294540/), or just end up with a [little bit too less dps or tank](https://zkillboard.com/kill/53636892/) for the situation!

Also: As a personal hint: get yourself 20 frigates of a fit you like and go to lose them all. Make sure you review after each fights, what went right and where you have questions or want to improve. Set a clear, messurable goal when going out to fight. sucess comes only after you are willing to do something for it, so don't wait for someone or something to get it to you while you dwell in your comfort zone.

Also write down your points on where to improve and also what went right. If you can, record your fights and watch for mistakes you made, how you could have made it better. Especially at the beginning Adrenalin is huge! You will get tunnelvisioned very often at first and completely forget something. But everyone startet there, so keep it up :D Also make sure to convo the guy who killed you and ask what you can do better. Everyone plays this game because they love it and if you appear interested and willing to learn. Most will be deligted to help! (Just look at me i am writing one of my biggest posts in a non native language for me since 4 or 5 hours now, just because you showed enthusiasm)

-----------------------------------------


~~That much for overview. Uch. So much writing. Continue reading about weapon systems and race choices (pvp not lore focused) in the comment I replied with to this thread~~ just go on.

--------------------------------
#Tanking styles:

*SHIELD TANKING:
active (resistances and a shield booster module):
= can be made cap independant of Capacitor with Ancillary boosters
= can be extremly strong on regular ships due to Ancillary boosters
= due to politics and certain npcs beeing very overfarmed, very  rare/ strong faction/deadspace are quite affordable
- impossible to continue using Ancillary boosters when out of charges (too high cap use)
- needs active management
+ most used methode on solo ships
.

passive (using the natural shield recharge and augmenting it):
= only on shield tanks
= cap independent
= no management to do
= infinite tanking if dps is not to high
.


buffer (build up as as much HP possible with resistances, without (augmented) regeneration):
= used for fleets
= very easy, no managemnt needed
+ very fast to train
.

Generall things on shield tanking:
= these modules fit in the midslots
 => less ewar and talke in fleet setups
 => faster than armor buffer setups
 => bigger than armor buffer setups signature wise = easier to hit
 => more lowslots for damage augmentions (especially on ships designed for armor this gives insande dps!)
.


*ARMOR TANKING:
active:
+ easy to manage due to use of multiple repping modules instead of only one biger one like shield tanks normally do
+ very strong on the right ship
- *allways* dependant on cap
#Armor repairs boost the armor at the end of the Module Cycle

buffer:
= in generall the best way to achieve the highest buffer tank (some shiled capitals get very strong as well)
= esay to make cap independant
.

generall things on armortanking:
=armor tanking happens in the lowslots
 => damage and speed upgrades need to be balanced with tanking mods
 => armor tanking shield ships is often a bad idea because the base dps will be lower
 => because of limited slots for upgrades most ships designed for armor have higher base dps
 => armor fleets have a lot of ewar and thus controll over the battlefield
.

*HULL TANKING:
Active: NOPE it is too low performing to be of any use
.


Buffer: (happens in the lowslots as well)
= natural way of tanking freighters
= happens with a Damage controll to add resistances and riggs+ bulkhead modules
= works best on Gallente Hulls like the thorax, Brutix or Megathron
+ Extremly high buffer
+ no limitations in speed or ewar
+ cap independant
+ highly honored in the comunity because it used to be not very impractical
+ offers extremly high dps output
- can't be repaired in space
- unsuitable for fleets => the real solo tank
.


-------------------------------

#Weapon systems

Drones:
+ almost every ship has them
+ do a lot of dps
+ awsome projection of damage
+ can be switched for other damage type
+ when used as a main weapon system, they free up highslots for utility mods like energy neuts or smartbombs
+ don't stop shooting if you lose lock(ecm, damp)
+ can agress and follow a target that is not necessarly in your range (kill takle)
- can be shot to literally kill the damage off
- need to be scooped before warping to prevent a loss of your damage source

=> weapon system of Carriers and Supercarriers (support skills are relevant)

Missiles:
+ will hit every target (not necessarly for much dps tho) as long as fired within range of it
+ can be switched for different damage types
+ very good damage projection+ insane range
- dps is delayed through flight time
- long reloads,
- can be destroyed by smartbombs before the impact (firewalling)

Turrent Weapons:
Turrent Weapons are generally mounted on a Ship. They have a Optimal range in which they will do their full damage potential, they have a Falloff, which markes how far you can shoot bejond optimal range.[The falloff marks the sphere around your ship, at which your turrents will only do half the damage. Two time falloff after optimal will result in only a 4th of your original dps.] And they have Tracking [how fast your turret can turn to keep pointed on your target]. ( Link to the [Eve University Wiki about Transversal Speed](http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Velocities#Transversal_Velocity), wich is relevant since you won't track if your target has too high transversal)

If your ship is out of optimal and falloff you won't hit it and do no damage.
If your ship can't track your target because it moves (or you move) with too much tranversal speed, you miss. This is a technique to avoid getting hit: fly as close as possible and "get under his guns" by orbiting. What happens, is that your opponent, will be unable to track you because you are too close and thus what little of movement you have is enough to be too much up close for his guns. This works especially well with small ships against bigger ships, as battleship guns track worse than frigates.

short range weapons have most of the times more dps than long range ones and track way better. to compensate for the close range brawling. Also short range weapons will have very big falloff numbers and long range weapons very strong optimal ranges. This means that long range weapons should be operated within optimal range while close range weapons are designed to work in falloff.

For example an autocannon with only 1km Optimal but 20km falloff will do 500dps (only an example) while an artillery with 400dps has 50km optimal but only falloff of 6km (56km total so to speak)

The autocannon will do 500dps at 1km but still 450 at 10km. even 200dps with a bit of luck at 30km
However the Artillery will do 400dps at 30km at 40km and at 50km (assuming a standing target because artys track like shit, so 0 dps at 5km probably if it is only moving with a bit of transversal)  however at 58km there will be like no damage left at all.


And of course there is different ammo to set the range of your guns


A generall profile of turrents would be:


*Projectile turrents:*
=Autocannons(short range): best tracking of all turrents, mostly falloff, can chose damage type, high dps, no cap needed
=Artillery(long range): worst tracking of all turrents, mostly optimal, highest alpha damage in game, no cap needed

*Hyprid turrents:*
=Blasters(short range): second best tracking, worst range in game, best dps, uses cap
=Railguns(long range): longest range in game, okish traking, good dps, uses cap

*Laser turrents:*
=Pulse Lasers(short range): "worst" tracking (special ammo for a lot of optimal range making it extremly high tracking if used as range turret), most optimal on a short range weapon, uses a lot of cap
=Beam Lasers(long range): very high range, high dps, very adaptable in range and that quite fast. uses cap

--------------

#Races

There are 4 main races in eve.

*Gallente*
=Use hybrids and Drones, speedy, Armortankers, can be shield tanked

*Minmatar*
= Use Projectiles, Missiles, some drones. Speediest, Armor and Shield tankers

*Amarr*
=Use Lasers, Drones and some Missiles, most are very bricky (excpetions are there as well tho) armortanks, best capacitors in game

*Caldari*
=Use Missiles and Hybrids, some drones (guristas pirate race), use shields not very fast.

------------------------------

#KitingVsBrawling
There are fighting "styles" you need to fit your ship to accordingly when solo pvping. (in fleets this is predefined anyways)

The main types are: Kiters and Brawlers. Variations are Baits, Scramkiters and Snipers. The first two are the main styles however.

*Brawlers:* get in close (within 9km) into scram range, and brawl it out. Once you are in brawling range and scramed, its win or lose, fight and die or live. No escape.
.

*Kiters:* Those keep their Micro Warp drives (MWDs) or oversized Afterburners (AB) (Battleship sized on a cruiser for example) on the whole time or pulse it to maintain a safe distance. They use a Warp disrputor or long point or point. To prevent warping their target from warping away. These ships are normally very thin tanked and only to tank what remains of a brawlers dps in drones and guns in tripple falloff. He who kites good, can balance out the odds and fight 1vMany no problem and dissengage all the time should need be. It is thus a good solo way to fit. However needs a [lot of pracitce and experience as well (klick for instruction video by one of the best kiters on how to do)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UieJcWI-YM&list=FLqQH1-ILGgp5vMYnaElxiNA&index=12).
.

*Scramkiter:* This variation occures mostly in FW lowsec and frigate only environments in generall. The idea is that both frigates have a scram and a web, so the idea is to keep mobile by having an AB instead of an MWD and frigate weapons for up to 9km range (blasters without any upgrades dont have that range for example)
.

*Bait:* An extremly tanky ship that acts as semingly easy prey for a victim. normally heavy armor tank, takle, and some neuts, ewar in generall. THIS WILL BE FOLLOWED BY BACKUP FORCES.

*Snipers:* those ships are designed to lock and shoot over extrem distances (200km+), with no takle and no defense. Those got very rare since you can now just combat probe ships and warp to them. Examples are Sliperey pets, Tengus that are hard to probe with railguns and extrem range.


*Generally on this matter:* A Kiter who is cought is a dead kiter, A brawler who is kited, a dead brawler (and probably extremly frustrated) since brawling is just trowing ships at people most of the time tho, compared to very hard to master, kiting, most people just brawl.

---------------------------------------
#Common PVP Dangers

This shall be a little Point on things to watch out for. [Mean tricks, people use, or things you will sooner or later encounter and think of as unfair](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-48iRMMNjJms/VPHO3RJLBqI/AAAAAAAAHQY/6Liu29no0PU/s1600/1v1-74.jpg). I am personally for learning these things the hard way, but it won't kill you to know it might happen and thus watch out a bit.

- Pod loss: People will shoot your pod when you don't warp it away immediatly after dieing. This can be wanted (podexpress to your clone station) or cost you billions work of implants.

- Crimewatch: learn how the [differnt timers work](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MX8S9QwAtOc/UolQ5tFttuI/AAAAAAAAAi4/mbV1xZhDjEc/s1600/crimewatch.png). If you attack someone out of the blue in highsec you will get concorded. So you will lose your ship rigth there on the spot for committing a criminal action(red timer, also blocks your ships warpdrive in highsec. So wait it out in station or in Low if you have one). If you steal, every can shoot you now (orange timer). Agression in lowsec triggers a orange timer as well. So once you agressed someone, everyon can shoot back without gateguns, this is also the only way you can fight with frigates or a group of them more likely in normal lowsec: align to the nearest clestial, attack (out of your victims takle range!), warp and come back (bounce) and reagress. now you aggress your one target, without getting two shot by gateguns.

- Gateguns: Gateguns and Stationguns are Structures with infinite tracking doing 350dps of the [respective damage](http://i.imgur.com/KDZiwPI.jpg). (laser damage in amarr space for example) if you agress someone that is not criminal or suspect flagged in lowsec, gateguns will shot you. reset those by warping off grid and comeing back. If you do so, you can even aggress your victim (only that one you got the guns for tho!) again without retaking gateguns.

- Cynotraps: Normally encountered with a hunter (if you pilot expansive industrials in lowsec for example) or with a bait (something that will draw attention of people wanting to kill it, for example a carrier). Cynos are position beacons enabling ships with teleportation or jumpdrive ability to lock onto it. If you see a cyno go up, someone will come "through it" like a personal stargate. Cyno ships can not move, dock or jump however and will be visbile in your overview from everywhere.

- Combat Links: There is a mechanic to increase the maximum amount of people that can engage each other in normal ships: combat links. A special ship with modules designed for it, will increase the attributes of each fleet member in the same system. So a random ship will get way tankier beeing also faster and having more range on scram and web.  In summer this will be changed to work only ongrid. For now a second account with a cloaked link ship (decloaked on a save spot in system when needed) is an [extremly effective way to make a huge impact, without risking anything extra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0cxHQUrjjo) and basicly oneside an egagement. it is like taking a faction ship instead of a t1 one.

- Smartbomb camps: people using ships with smartbombs (instand and untargeted damage around said ship) to kill pods and travlers, make sure you travel in a noobship after getting killed and look out for the notorious campers.

- Instalock camps: Gatecamps is basicly when a group of people get togehter to sit on a gate and catch everything that comes through. Avoidable with the MWD/Cloak trick or a combination of warp core stabilizers and nanofiber structures (called travel fit)

- Combat Probers: If you warp between two objects and you hit ctrl+B you can make a bookmark of your location. Beeing mid warp, you create a so called "Save spot" a spot only you know exactly where it is. You can then warp there an be sure you are save there, unless someone "brings probes" aka a combat prober. A ship designed to use scanner probes, which are also visible on your directional scaner tab if you hit it in the right moment, that will make you appear like an anomaly in his probe window to warp someone directly on top of you. Don't stay at one place for too long when in hostile space! Note, that you can avoid getting scanned out/down by turning on a cloaking device, combat ships should however not have one fitted regularly as it takes fittingslots and a lot of speed when locking targets away from you

------------------

#Roles of a ship (in a Fleet)

Since this is a post about solo pvp, it is not really fleet stuff I want to talk about. however a brief mention should be appropriate since it might happen quite fast when you team up to kill one bigger group.

Since the same process happens in a fleet as in solo but split bewteen people it is actually also quite a summery on what you need to do as a solo pilot, all at the same time.

*Tackle:* the easiest role and executable by any newbro at day 0. Normally in frigates. The goal is to stop target from escaping. Often only for a few seconds until someone else in fleet can take over. You can never have too much Takle.  Example: a Rifer with MWD and scram+web and unloaded guns

*DPS:* the guys with the guns. Normally in charge of dealing with the enemys ships directly (focused by the Fleet Comander through target proadcasts => "focus fire")

*Ewar/Controll:* These dudes are responsible for disabling the opposite ships, or enabling the good guys (your own) to apply their dps. Example: Celestis with armor plate and sensor damps, Rapier with cyno and long range webs/targetpainter

*Logistics:* The heros of the battlefield. "Healers" as WoW players would say (don't use this term in this community tho!) They repair damage on field while the fight is ongoing. Often people falsely assume this is boring and thus offer the ship for free (SRP) to those who are willing to fly them. After the FC this Role suffers the most pressure in a heated fight and needs to cummunicate a lot!.

*The Fleet Comander (FC)* Is the one dude who is coordinating the whole fleet. He has hopefully an overview over the battle and normally just flies a tanky ship to not die during the battle but does not do much himself. He is telling everyone what to do and especially *when* to do it. Note: It is often in bigger groups that people don't want to be resposible for a fleet, since they fear critique in case the lose ships. Don't critisise your FC if he is new or makes a mistake that he allready knows about. More should try it!

*Actions in a fleet/ fleet terms:*

- anchoring up:
 the activity to orbit one specific ship at 1km or lower. this is to organise the fleet and move it controlled by moving that one "anchor". Normally a dude that is beeing watched over by logi specificly and who is not afk during the fight all the time and hopefully with a bit of situational awareness on where to be as well.
.

- primary (is XYZ, broadcasted)
Done by the FC or his backup if dead: ctrl+x+click on a target (also possible on a Ewar effect on your UI above your capacitor) this is to get the maximum dps on one target before the enemy logi can rep it.
.

- secondary, terchary
gona be primaries. DO NOT SHOT YET. ONLY LOOK THEM UP
.

-warping, aligning, jumping

To prevent spooking an enemy or dieing alone on the other side, warp discipline is a must. Aligning means only to hit align, warping only to warp and then, ONLY when cleared by the FC, jump a gate. Also keep at range 1,5km if you bridge with a titan. None like getting a 100b vessel bumped away. best done be selecting the next stargate (outgate) and klicking the respective buttons in your "selected items" window
.

---------------------------------------------------------------------


#Usefull modules in pvp
this is to cover most used or encountered modules in pvp, However there is a shitload of usefull modules and I dont't want to make this any bigger than necessary, so here are the most comon and important ones

- Tackle: Warp Scramblers, Warp disprutors, Stasis Webifires, Stasis Graplers but also Warp Disruption Field Generators (hic points) and Warp Disruption Probe Launcher are modules a ship can use to prevent your warp, they are all aggressive. (trigger gateguns or concord in highsec if not in a duel). There are also Structures (so called Bubbles) that build up a sphere of "you no warp", which are only allowed in nullsec. The stats are all assuming t2 modules. Faction ones may cost a fortune but perfrom significantly better!

basics on warp disruption strengh: this is 1 for every ship. Every warp core stabilizer increases it by one. so if you fit 4 warp core stabs you get 4+1 warp core strength. So to stop such a ship, you need to lock and apply at least 5 points disruption strengh. aka 3 scrams or 2 scrams and a long point or 5 long points (but lets not get silly) some faction scrams even have a strength of 3! Also the new maulus navy has a bonus to scram strengh. Apperently there are also new carrier modules as the Heavy warp scrambler that have like 6 or more warp core strentgh. (also the new carrier burst scram won't be covert, if you get to experience it you can look it up yourself)

*Warp Scramblers (Scrams):*
= 9km range (10km with Overheat)
= warp disruption strength : 2
-short range
+will instantly shut down MJDs and MWDs

*Warp Disruptors (Long points, or just point):*
= 24km range (28km w/ OH)
= warp disrupt strenght: 1

*Stasis Webifire (Web):*
=10km range (14km w/ OH)
=will slow down the target by 60%. A second one will slow it down further, stacking applies tho, so 60% of the remaining 40% aka only 16% of the original speed remains of a dual webbed target. Not that the serpentis faction ships get a bonus to webs making them 90%!

*Heavy Stasis Graplers:*
= battleship plus only
= optimal of 1km
= Falloff of 10km
= will slow down 85% at optimal.
= This is basicly to avoid smaller targets getting onder the guns. The combo of Web, scram and grapler is death to anything small


*Warp disruption Field Generator:*
= this acts like a Warp disruption bubble centered on the Heavy Interdiction Cruiser
= can be scripted (only way to use this outside of nullsec) to work like a ultra long range scrambler
= only way to point supercapitals (as of now, this will be changed later)
= (practically) *infinite* warp disruption strenght
= When turned on the HIC can't be repped, will be super slow and have a 50% bigger signature  ( all wehen used unscripted IIRC),
= Range of 20km
= will shut down MWDs and MJDS as well

*Warp Disruption Probe launcher:*
= Can launch 3 Warp disrupt probes (a visbile sphere), (each lasting for 2 minutes )
= 60 Seconds reload
= Spheres can be destroyed with smartbombs
= each sphere having a range of 20km in which you can't activate a warp or jumpdrive
*WARNING: If pressing jump on the next outgate on your route and then beeing "bubbled in" by an Interdictor with this module, your warp will be canceled and if you warp a covert Ops cloaked ship,* **you will get decloaked** *experienced pilotes use this to then instantly lock and kill travlers, who deem themselfs save because :covert cloak:*


*Mobile [Size] Warp Disruptor:  (Bubble)*
= a sphere in a certain size, that prevents warping in its radius
= when warping away to another grid with a bubble on the ingrid in direct line with my warp, i will exit warp not where i wanted but on the edge of the bubble (said edge is often clusterd with abandoned drones or jetcans to decloak covops pilots in camps)
= can be targeted and destroyed

- Propulsion modules
there are 3 types: Afterburners, Microwarpdrives and Micro Jump Drives

*ABs:*
+ work while scrambled
+ less fitting than MWD
- slower than MWD

*MWDs:*
+ fastest Prop mod
- can be shut down with a scram
- eats a lot of cap
- reduces max capacitor when fitted
- can be hard to fit

*MJDs:*
=available for Battlescruisers and Battleships (in form of a mobile structure for the rest lol)
= after a spoolup, will teleport you 100km into alignement direction
+ ultimate GTFO device for solo BCs, and BS
- can be shut down by scram

- Basic ewar
Electronic warfare are (mostly midslot) modules that help control the engagement:

*ECM:*
the shitlords joy: breaks your lock and won't let you relock for 20seconds. Chance based Fuck that piece of shit

*Tracking Disruptors:*
Will make turrents a nightmare by reducing tracking or range by a huge factor. Have fun hitting shit

*Sensor dampeners or damps:*
Decrease your lock range or lock speed. Not chancebase. ultra short range or ultra long locktimes. Used to potentiate surprise target switches in fleets. (logi!) Protip: Blinky nolife nerds in highsec hate getting damped= no sense in a instalock setup if you need 30seconds to lock shit

*Scrams and webs placeholder, but we had those allready*

*Energy Neutralizers or neuts:*
Will drain your targets capacitor.

*Energy Nosferatus or nos*
Will drain your enemies cap and give you something of it. Not as effective as Neuts. only works if your enemy has more cap than you (GJ), thats why Nosing smaller ships is stupid, while nosing bigger almost guarantees a constant cap inflow.

*Target Painters:*
Increase the targets Signature radius and makes them easier to hit.

Note that every race has a specialized ship for its ewar. (amarr = neuts/nos, minmatar = webs/targtpaints, caldari = ecm, gallente = sensor damps/scrams)

Every ewar has a counter module, either local or remote. (cap boosters, tracking computers, propmods, sensor boosters, etc.)

 basic ewar (tD, ecm, nos, neut, damp, sebo), tanking mods, riggs tank fitting, damage mods, application enhancers.


#How to fucking fund this shit (newbro edition)

- Loot after someone elses missions:
Possible in highsec, (ask in local in a mission hub), lowsec (those core military beacons, get in, make a bookmark and loot later when the site is gone, the boss drops good loot). Most people will don't even think about it, because they don't loot or salvage themself because it is better isk to just run one mission more.

- Looting player wrecks:
During a fight noone is watching the one frig, getting close and stealing a fortune in loot. Also stealing from the wrecks of highsec duels can easly fund a newbro with a bit of luck for a long time(fit warp core scramblers and set safty to yellow, have some shield tank).

- Industry
You can allways just run a few production jobs to make the isk you burn. Concentrate on items that are used in pvp, for example tanking riggs, especially t2 ones sell for a good margin.

- Buy a Plex with RL money
Not what everyone likes, but take it that way, its one extra hour at work that pays for days of fun in eve.

- Scanning for sites
Either hacking sites (nullsec sansha relics!) or DED combat sites; get a quiet corner with a few nice sites and get rich (be carefull of hunters tho as well), can be done in highsec too for less profit.

- Combat scanning for Drones in FW areas
One of my favorites because everyone can do it: pack a t1 scanner frig like an imicus, attach a cloak and a expanded probe launcher. Check via dscan for drones in system. Due to the nature of [left behind drones](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Dqvkytgq9xM/UVLixwrzSII/AAAAAAAAEZc/WU7iKkKaUAY/s1600/1v1-57.jpg) after fights, and since drones won't vanish away as soon as wrecks or jetcans, often a big pile of t1 and sometimes faction drones is just waiting in space for you!

- Planetary Interaction
Eves economy life from input. With PI you just need to set up a "farm" on a few planets and every week collect and reset it. Easy and good cash if you know what things you build (POS fuel components are allways needed and now also the citadel parts)

- Siphoning
There is a mobile structure that will steal expansive resources out of moon mining towers. This can be extremly profitable. However you won't make friends with that. Also its an expireing model as moon mining will be changed soonTM.

- Trading
There is a YT challenge where someone stars with just the beginning 5k isk and no skills. He makes it 15m isk in 2 weeks. If this dude can do it, you can make isk with it as well. Buy low sell high (and take things with enough volume for the sake of your own sanity)

- Smuggle Drugs
Drugs are illegal in highsec and kill your standings, but shiping them from cheap sell locations to hot pvp places (take lowsec routes only) and selling them there, can be a quite good income. With time you can build up and also seed ammo, nanite paste etc. People will even thank you, because more fun, instead of shoping trip.

- Beeing yourself
Normally people would say this is a shitty advice. However beeing a euphoric newbro and amazed and interested in how things work will get you the "look how cute that newbro is" look. Be nice and interested. Convo the guy who just killed you and ask for advice, how you did. This will often result in a very pleasent conversation and more often than not in a new friend and isk donations. As opposed to [beeing made fun of and taunted](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y-6PiGxOaHY/Uk7NlFsxaRI/AAAAAAAAA18/N5nLE78MPo0/s1600/eve+ccp+butthurt+form.gif).


#Boosters
Shit I run out of space: this will be ultra TLDR:
Drugs are good (one time boost until timer ends or poded, possibly negative side effect) and may increase  armor rep,  shield boost, tracking, speed, falloff, optimal, explosion velocity (missile hit quality). There are skills/implants to make drugs have less side effects or last longer. They are illegal in highsec. (except for 3% snyth drugs and the new drifter drugs) Most Solo Pilots use drugs. *Warning:* they do make addictive  once you realize how much they help you won't go without them;)

#CurrentMeta

like above.
FW: garmur is cancer, svipul is Aids, comet is strong, gallente OP. T3 cruiser rock, t3 destroyers are awsome, if you have them on your side at least.
