The *Official* Eve Online Thread

I never got used to the Ishtar, I'd much rather fly a Deimos. I suppose what didn't help was when Skully and I jumped to a system full of hostiles and we chose random planets to warp to. I happened to choose the one with the Outpost next to it and got badly toasted.

HACs for me were a good stepping stone to Command Ships.

Command Ships V, yay!
 
command ships with command skills and a small group can be real helpful, 1 command ships rock, secondly your squad can quickly rak up some nice bonuses =)
 
tbh canes are easy in rapier unless they have
a)backup
b)artillery
anyway, you're always going to be faster than em, whats the issue?

he managed to lock me, was an AC cane and i couldnt break the tank :( so i mwd'd away and warped off :p

his char was a year older than mine tho so, might explain his good tank ?!
 
3x t2 artys + drones should eventually wear down a hurricane tank, you'll just need to watch for him popping your drones as he gets bored
 
wtf you doing with jammers on a rapier?
rapiers for webs!
dual web, MWD, artillery etc, keep the blighter at 25-34km and pound him!

yeh, phased muon sensor dampner 1's x 2

i have an X5 web - a disrupter II and a large shield extender - 3 720mm II's and gyro's / pdu IIs in the lows

he was webbed but i engaged when he was 18km away, by the time the lock had happened he'd hit his MWD, ended up 15-16km away then the damps weren't working so he got me... being as my rapier has no tank (bar the large extender) i hit the mwd, got out of his 24km range and warped :)

doesnt mean i wont try the next cane that comes my way :)

meh
get a faction disrupter and some T2 webs (two) screw the damps

nah if i did that the chances of me taking on a BC would decrease more wouldnt it? yes it would be at a dead stop and not going anywhere but it has full ability to shoot / use drones :(

Try a setup more like:

3x 650mm II
1x Cloak

1x MWD II
1x WD II
2x Fleeting webs
2x Phased Muon

2x OD II
1x Local Istab
1x Nano II

2x Damp rigs

You have the advantage of a cloak, so don't waste it, engage a solo target with a burst of your mwd away from them, that combined with double web means you really shouldnt be letting a target close range on you.

You should also have the speed to kite drones and missiles, if drones are a problem then boost your mwd on your orbit, put one web on a drone and keep the other on your target and pop it, rinse and repeat, then calmly go back to the dual web immobilising your target, and sit there safely pounding on him.
 
might buy a 2nd and fit that, the one thing that worries me about that is that theres not a lot of shield to use as a buffer, although i shouldnt need it im abit new to PVP so im just getting into it slowly

so far i've had 2 stabbers 2 rifters and a Cyclone
 
Just installing the demo, looking forward to trying this game out.
I've read that one of the best ways to start is get involved with the corps. So, assuming there is an OCuk one, how would I join up?
