bro this video has it all. ships that outclass you warping off, bait hull tank giving you false hope, "ive been warping around for 2 hours now...ill fight anything" desperation, gate guns murdering you so fast you dont even know whats going on. just the epitome of the eve experience all in one spot and its hilarious.
Living in a pod and collecting that insurance money! Despite getting killed (A LOT) I still had fun and will definitely be doing more of these.
Made to show the realistic moment to moment struggles and thought process of someone really new to pvp. Hope this helped some of you hesitant to pvp to go give it a try!
Fly Safe o7 or Recklessly...
Fly dangerously 7o
“Never fly what you can’t afford to lose.”
Luckily, half a dozen Tristans and Merlins are in my budget range
@@goofytycooner5519 hell yea! I'm sure you'll do better than me lol
Always good to see more people PvPing! If you ever want pointers you should check out the
@@eventon9372 mine’s more of losing a dozen Scythe Fleet Issues xD
Fun to watch, best way to learn. I think you figured out that you can't kite when you have to be at 8000m scram range and also really there's no need to web with rockets / missiles because you don't have the tracking issues of guns. Your opponents with guns need to web YOU because you're mobile and want to kite them, so they want to make you sit still and take turret rounds to the face. They want to brawl you, you don't want to brawl them. I noticed you thought 10km is not too close. That's hella close. The Merlin is the opposite scenario of course. If you noticed as well most of your opponents had reppers, not many run PvP without those sadly, takes a lot to out damage an enemy and beat their reps when you don't have any reps on your ship, so you were at a big disadvantage before most fights started. This goes for Frigate vs Frigate / Destroyer combat at least. With the Brutix at the end you wanted to be right under his guns, tightest Orbit possible, like when we tell people to Orbit Dagan in the SoE arc at 500m so he can't hit them in his Gnosis. I think you did the opposite and went for a wider orbit. Also remember, an MWD blooms your Signature Radius by 5x and makes your little Frigate the size of a Cruiser. Not good to keep on during a fight unless it's to stay out of the range of their guns. Looking forward to watching you become a pro PvPer ;)
Yea I figured i had 'mis-fit' the kestrel with a scram. I honestly have never done the SoE arc, the 50 mission slog didnt sound appealing when I first started but I should check it out for standings and some basics. I guess if I kept a close orbit to the brutix I was afraid his drones would just kill me anyway. I guess I need to put reppers on all of my pvp ships now then lol
I learned a lot from this comment. Thank you
9:05 That, my friend, is the Fed Navy Comet. Its bonus effectively gives it 4 guns, its tank is stronk (it's a faction frigate, they're all pretty beefy), and it has drones. It's basically an Incursus on 'roids.
Edit: In FW space, always bring an AB. It's the de facto choice for prop mods in lowsec. The MWD is for kiting and nullsec, mostly.
Not certain he realized that he was shot by the Gate Sentries too.
Great video! Finally someone shows not only his glorious victories but actual expirience which come with many-many losses.
Actually, when I was trying to get into PVP I found for myself that T1 frigates are not newbie-friendly at all. Too fragile and too fast for an inexpirienced player. I've got way better expirience using T1 cruisers. Still affordable to lose, but easier to fit and beefy enough to live longer than seconds.
Of course, it just may be me been oldfart slowpoke. :)
This... this "pvp" series made me sub... i wish to learn along with you (might not do pvp but i want to see it from a new point of view, maybe get encouragement :)
Glad to hear it my man! This is one of the many reasons why I made this video, so everyone could watch me fall on my face but learn from it, hopefully lol
That guy you shot off the gate was not in faction warfare, so the gate guns shot you. That's why you died so fast. If you pause at 8:54 you can see the sentry gun dmg.
This video was amazing, and I'm so glad you went into it completely fresh. For the next one though you might allow yourself to learn a *bit* about FW. For example, you could be the one sitting in the plex at optimum range instead of the other way around!
I am new to the game this video was very encouraging to me thanks for doing it.
Very positive video, thats how they say you learn in this game in the beginning, the say the more ships you lose the more you learn.
Excellent vid. I'm very hesitant to pvp myself because of the high bar and knowledge everyone seems to have, but seeing you crash 10 ships with no qualms really gave me good vibes, might try it myself!
lol that last one was my Alliance Leader :)
ha! I had no idea I was brushing shoulders with the big guys lol
Great vid. Enjoyed the thought process for fits and feedback in comments is great.
thanks! had a lot of fun and even more to learn!
This video concept is refreshing, sometimes we all need to learn the old fashioned way
very true! Thanks for the comment!
You went down faster than Rosie O'Donnel eating at a buffet table.
My characters are in an industry heavy FW corp that has gone rather quiet lately. This is very helpful, I needed to see someone just go for it this way. You did everything I would have done, thank you, this hopefully will save me some ships, ISK and time. Yeah, I will definitely watch if you make a few of these.
You don't need the map up, have both the D scan and the probe scanner windows open, D scan and click on the probe scanner window, this will give you a quick access to what is scanned down.
People defensively use D scan set to 1 AU in FW space, so will be pre aligned when you warp in, which is why you got people warping out straight away. Also the gates can be taken at 100km away, so warping to a site at 100km still gives you access to take the gate.
Hot keys are F1 and so forth for modules on the top row, this will give you the chance to lock up and be firing straight away. It was a lot of mouse movements which could have been used to getting to optimal range of the target... Control is the locking hotkey, always have this ready to lock... Q is the approach hot key and W is the default orbit hotkey (i have it set to the space bar)
As for FW sites, Novice is frigate only (the thrasher was baiting you) Small is destroyer, Medium is cruiser, Large is Battlecruiser and Open is anything - not gated.
thanks for the info! Learning/setting up the hotkeys will help a ton.
overheat scrams if you need the extra 20% of range, and you can preset your orbit to what you like so you can click 1 button (I absolutely love the learn pvp by death of frigates method)
yea I realized that later on, its all the preset up and muscle memory I need to work on
As someone who has made an alt to practise pvp. This video will help a lot as that character trains skills
Im using my main for now since he has the best skills, but making an alt just for frigate - cruiser pvp wouldnt be a bad idea!
I really enjoyed this. not to often that I get to see a fellow noob pvp'er. thanks for the video!
For big ships that are alone like that, stay in a close orbit. Their guns can't track you, you'll be able to keep scram on him, and you might even take the web off to use on his drones if they start doing damage.
Love this, I am thinking about PVP in the format of FW, but still not sure
Only have about 15 mil. ISK, think I would burn throug that very fast
yea you would burn through that quickly. Either join a corp that is willing pay/refund your ships or enjoy the game and build up your wallet first!
Yeah, take care of that wallet first. Cheap frigate fits still run around 2 mil.
I imagine that some of the warp offs thought that you were bait for a larger gang
Then they definitely overestimated me! Lol
@@eventon9372 I think you came into the same system as my FW alt lol, I was still wondering, why did this dude look familiar?
watch pulling range on turret ships, you will line up to zero orbital so they hit 100% of the time, i know catch 22
Merlin my favorite ship to catch the super fast faction frigs. Sit on the beacon with all your things overheated already. Especially web mwd and scram. Once your prey hits grid start locking. Soon as you get a positive locking sequence hit approach and activate mwd, scram, web in that order.
Only take fights where you are already in the plex with a Merlin. The fight you had with hawk was very good except, obviously, t2 ship wasn’t the business...
This is great. Thank you
Damn you would have had that Tristan if you would have used the afterburner and kept speed up. This is all coming back to me now..LOL dude you had that fight.
Great vid very cool
bro. as long as you are out there trying to crack head, that be allright with us.
"Hawk is just t2 Version of my ship,right??" ...JUST... Hahahahahahah you made my day ^^ but dont be worry i learned it on my own the Difference between t1 and t2 Items and ships is huge which can even be upgraded by your skills ^^ but it is very nice to know i was not the only one making that kind of mistakes XD
This reminds me of my own feeble attempts at solo FW PvP, I usually got wrecked completely. I got a little more success in small gang WH PvP and solo hunting explorers, but I'm definitely going to give lowsec brawling a try someday again. Man this game is unforgiving.
A little late to this stream you did but I thought it was well done! I'm a brand new player (1 month) and got a shitload out of it. I just ran it on my big screen while I researched stuff and mined in game.
I haven't played this for a few years but do you not have to try to keep some kinda of optimal range with them? I think it is called traversal or something if I remember correctly.
PVP is best P
Was a mission runner for years and somehow through a series of odd connections I met the best group of toxic villians anyone could ever hope for and they turned me into a murderer!
Best small gang pvp advice I have for ya ........................................................ get a Hecate .... and win
awesome story! and eventually I will graduate up to better ships when I have skilled for them and have more pvp experience. Thanks for the comment!
Nice!
Great video!
2nd fight, navy commet, you took the gate guns, it wasnt the commet that fully got you
so I kinda forgot that gate guns were still a thing in low sec :P
Ok here are some problems with your fits:
The Merlin fit:
Most people that I fight use a medium ancillary shield booster instead of a second web, or an ancillary armor rep if they’re going dual webs. Unless you’re going full Ricardo fit on your Merlin (max damage minimum tank), which in that case you should be using 3 T2 gyrostabilisers, T2 guns and Void S
Your Kestrel fit:
Kestrels are designed for kiting, so use a warp disrupter instead of a scram, since they have more range. Since you’re kiting, the web will not really be as useful.
thanks for the feedback, I figured that with my kestrel and did mention at some point that it would likely be better with a disruptor than a scram
@@eventon9372 haha yeah. Also you should try going full Ricardo on a Hecate (T2 neutrons, Void S and full low rack of MFS IIs), then going into nullsec and finding fights
There is this one YT channel called Xtra Squishy, he did use the Hecate max DPS on some occasions
P. S. if you do go ahead with that, dont forget to insure your ship and put on Ricardo music at the back while melting tanks
the third Gyrostabiliser isn't going to do much because of stacking penality, right?
What should I fit on a kitting Kestrels on my mids, just defense and MWD?
@@aqua995 3 modules with the same bonus are usually recommended as the max, 4 and more are just wasted
For kiting kessies fit 1-2 long point, an MWD and maybe a shield extender
@@solitude9875 so a Shield Extender, an MWD and a Warp Disruptor, what is used as 4th slot? Sry, I am new
Those gate guns though
they are op, especially vs a T1 frigate
Good Video, just FYI the white text was more annoying than the noise in background. Thanks for sharing.
Kind of makes me want to go fire up the old characters. Wonder if they still able to be used.
Yes, once you aggress in Low sec. the gate guns will hammer you, you need to warp off and reproach and the gates will not shoot you then when you attack target again, it brakes their lock on you.
What type of setup/software did you use to record this? very nice quality.
I use OBS and high settings.
How do i send isk to support this savagery
Haha you mean me getting ravaged? lol You reminded that I need to put my ign in the description of my videos. Ign: Weaselly Eventon
@@eventon9372 _200% SRP for your ships, take it or leave it_
Great first Episode! 8:55 you got shredded by gate guns. For a frigate thats just suicide ^^
yea forgot gate guns were a thing in low sec lol
@@eventon9372 nullsec pvp is much better lol, I killed an entire cruiser fleet in my Hyperion with deadspace mods lol
@@solitude9875 I am probably a solid year away before I start using battleships solo with deadspace mods lol
@@eventon9372 lmao yeah, it just so happens that the alliance Im in had SRP, so losing it wasnt too bad
Also I alr had some of the modules on hand, after farming Sansha 10/10s in my Typhoon Fleet Issue :p
Good job ...
Im new to the game but very confuse on shooting. I know how to activate the guns which is F1 but i dont know how to shoot.
seeing your nontanked double web Merlin with 2 Gyrostabilizers and I am like wtf this thing will shred through small Frigates, but will die quite easily to kite ships and the like
your Kestrel looks a bit like mine though, but like you said on a Kitefit with MWD you want a Disruptor and on a Scramkit you want AB
Comet is kinda really good for what it is supposed to be and the hawk is yeah the Tech2 version of your ship, a fight vs the Manticore could have been cool and I think the Brutix wasn't Hulltanked, you just didn't do any dmg anymore because you were shooting from 26km away, I mean I almost have Missile Projection V but even with it, my Rockets wouldn't reach out further than 20km lol
nice to see it anyways
I like to PvP in a Rifter, just cos it is pretty fast and tanky, while also being able to deal pretty good damage. I have drugs from an alliance mate, who converts my huffed gas into Exile which I use, and the extra Agency drugs that I collect from events which I use during PvP
Rockets are krap also you might want to use 1 or 2 hull repairer's and if you just want to wipe the floor with them use the Golem with a target breaker
Default hotkeys in eve be like ALT+F fucking 10. and if you rebind the key all hotkeys bug out, even the ones you haven’t touched
If you get a Ab instead of the MWD on that kastrel fit you might be able to fit 2 webs
good call! Might have to try that next time
@@eventon9372 it would also let you be in scram range of the enemy but not loose your only prop mod
Yeah, the dual web, armor plate Kestrel is an interesting fit.
If you got the scram, and he didn't web you, i think you could've won that last fight.
You also weren't applying dps at all for the last 30s of that fight. You played that very well, as he couldn't hit you without his drones. If you killed his drones too, you would've won, but well done either way. O7 hindsight is 20/20, and you found yourself a few great fights.
8:42 At this point I was staring at my screen full of disbelief: Does he not know about gate guns? If a federation navy comet could tear you apart so quickly I think other frigates would pretty much be obsolete lol :)
i also do solo pvp in fw space as a pirat somtimes i even win 😆 i love the merlin i get 270 dps out of her a monster ship when you can catch your enemy 🤗
Will there be more of this??
Yup! I have a live stream and a separate video on the channel, both about the Abyssal FFA not too long ago
I like this noob learning / teaching pvp. Pretty funny how you're just so lost and confused. Pvp is hard no matter how good you are
dont fight on the gate, the gate will shoot you XD, but watching you is fun. nice vid.
i dont think the manticore ever left. covert ops ship
lmao this video is so good
haha thanks!
Those atrons check their information the bots seems to be useing a lot if insta warp atrons
You should come down to Amarr with me and do FW there. Its much more fun!
I'll have to take you up on that some time! Thanks!
@@eventon9372 absolutly man! Anytime the Minmatar / Amarr is always jam packed with Capital escalation
@@eventon9372 I dont mind challenging you to a 1v1 destroyer fight...
Cap booster bro. Don't worry bout being cap stable in fitting tool. And for new pvp pilots, lazy orbit at 500 is fine enough.
the fight around 9:30 on gate, it was not his ship that destroyed you but the gate guns. Sorry if this comment has been posted 100 times, i did a quick scroll and i did not notice it.
Das una impresión de como es pvp en realidad , porque tal como puedes ganar también puedes perder . Gusta ps .
Overheat guns at the start on small pvp like that... then stop, and keep a bit for end of fight.
With the thrasher, you would have killed him if you had a T2 scram with the 10K range
Dont use MWD for close orbiting using scram dont dont ull get alot bigger in signature radius ull be easier to hit and apply damage to. AB is the best option. and orbit under his guns so close he cant track you. every gun has optimal range ull need to be at more than half its optimal range close to him in orbit
this is why i dont even try to PvP in this game,everyone is just better,stronger than me in every way
Quantity has a quality all its own.
Or they outnumber you, then say good fight. Smh
It wasn’t the Fed Navy comet that killed you. It was the Sentry guns. Have a read of the notifications during the battle.
lool, when you we got a hawk, I thought, you dont know what hawk is :)
if you want to learn to pvp why not join us on a bombers bar fleet ?
if you can use a stealth bomber
bomber bar is not really great pvp to learn , just drop on a guy and press F1 ... waw...
@@Fkyzu no mate not if you hunting or doing roles in it tbh
8:50 you do realize it's the gate's sentry guns that killed you, right?.. so the lesson is, don't aggress near gate that have guns.. 😅
Yeah, that was a weird one. It didn't look like it was a war target, but rather just some dude with negative sec status. But he shouldn't have been able to aggress on the target since his target initiation is set to yellow.
Granted, my memory might be fuzzy, it's been a while since I've gone into depth on how all that stuff worked.
8:51 you partially died because you tried to fight on a lowsec gate in a frigate. Gate guns are no joke.
NEVER shoot another ship while you are on a gate !! that gate guns will kill you,
that damage didnt come from that ship, it came from the low sec gate guns
Honestly didn't know that was a thing lol lesson learned!
@@eventon9372 I take my hat off to you, This is the BEST way to learn PVP.... Learn From Mistakes
@@MalkieOnPC thanks and I will continue to learn, and crash n burn lol
indeed thats why i use hull tank fits for gate camping
Bro ngl...when i started PvP...i was in a destroyer and i lost to frigate....PvP isnt about being in a better ship....its about having better skills than the other player
Also hearing you repeatedly talk about overheating is crazy. You don't need to do any of that until you learn to fly and orbit your opponent correctly. Keep the speed up too. Overheating comes only if you are in a quick gank or it is going to be a close fight and you are not 100% sure you have the fight won. Or if you need it for reaching out with point or web.
Lol, fights BNI - "is this guy hull tanked or something?"
Would you expect any less than a day 1 pvper? lol
@@eventon9372 well Brutix NIs are commonly hull tanked, soo...
Drop a web for a MSE and either a gyro or DC for aux power core and you've got yourself the 'all-in-merlin' :)
Ahaha lol
Just all frigates killed no chance
I love the idea of the game but the UI and way you control the ship is weird.
I think its much better to be able to directly control your vessel.
the brutix was dead if you had a point man
not really i had light drones was just playing notice i put webs on him at the end...
probably!
@@defensiveorderofmayhem505 I was just playing too as you could tell :P
lol more like playing with a noob i had fun! just trying to teach yeh a lesson
"Let me ram the obvious T2 Rocket fit Assault frig in my meta blaster T1 newbro frig" good idea xD good learning experience though I guess
Faction warfare 101 if target dont leave plex hes eather noob bored or have hard counter.
Thats why nobody like and play faction warfare. Its not pvp its decided before the fight start
gawd battles suck, scramming and hope you have more dps
