When you sign up for factional warfare (either through the option in a station or joining a corp in a militia) you are engaged in an ongoing fight with two other factions

Amarr + Caldari VS. Gallente + Minmatar

Its much like wartargets

you can shoot them where ever and if they enter your factions space they get shot by gate guns

what's a SB?

e: btw I picked Gallente.


e: update on myself.
Made 19m running Agent L4 Missions as a Armor-Repairer. Was nice

Current Goal: +3 Implants

Slot2/4 Achieved




Also, the players on EVE are very nice if you are constantly asking questions about what to get, and taknig their advice, however useless they seem.

These people ended up private chatting with me, and gave me a lot of advice on what to fit and what to get.

May not be the pro-est advice, but hey, they help.

Don't take advice from faggots who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Over half the people who sit up in Highsec all day are the retards who would lose billions on a subcap while missioning, and have 5 fucking Gyrostabilizers on it. Protip, Gyrostablizer bonuses suffer a harsh penalty, having 5 gives you maybe an extra 1-3 dps over having 4.

Gallente is the bastard child of Eve, most of their subcap ships suck dick, the exceptions being the Ishtar and Ishkur for PvE and the Lachesis for PvP. I'd train away from gallente and train into Amarr ships, and get into a Zealot after training for a very long time and sitting around in a harbinger, unless you want drams/cynns/machs

personally i wouldnt go amarr

id go caldari/minmatar (which my main is) mainly because of the missiles (for missions) and how good minnie ships are for pvp also its a nice train into other stuff with armor fits

missiles=zerg missions?

e: what are drams/cynns/machs?

Currently my plan seems to be this:
L4 Drone/Heavy Drone
Get vexor and fill her up with Ogres.

AHAC groups are amazing and with enough decent people you can roll through most anything. Minnie ships are garbage for PvP compared to amarr ships (and armor tanking is a lot better than shield tanking), it just takes a whole lot less time to get into Minnie ships. Also caldari ships are easy mode in this game, but you're stuck with missiles and limited options afterwards. If you do go into Caldari, go to drake, then fucking train for a tengu and rule the jew sky.



Dramiel/cynnabal/machariel
Get sentries faggot not Heavy drones. Get tier 2 regular drones before hand though.

amarr are better than minnie pvp wise?

have a look at the best ships per class and see which race sticks out





yeah missiles are the best for missions hands down

i would train heavies as of now id just go for small/med

All the races are good for any role, though imo turrets are better than launchers so far from what I've seen. Ofc I've seen more Drakes than anything not everybody thinks that way.

As long as you play to the ships strengths and have good skills and....don't panic you might not lose as much.

I was recently in a corp that was mostly mining/industrialists on my Gallente pilot (Amarr crosstrained) and we had nobody that was really combat fit. It seemed like people just decced us until most of the corp incorporated into a bigger corp.
I'm just flying alone right now quietly building up skills on both my pod dwellers.

I haven't played long enough to fly anything bigger than a BC yet. I could technically fly a battle ship but I'm not really comfortable with that yet, I want to get T2 everything for frig and cruisers/BC's first and have better fitting skills.
My Gallente pilot focus's on Armor tanking, drones, tracking disruption and logi support (Cap and Armor booster). Droneboats are a lot of fun.

I'll fly with ya if you want some help getting going.
Also EVE university has a great website with tons of guides here: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Category:Guides
Their wiki is very impressive and more handy than the CCP wiki imo.

Ya, amarr sticks out. Abaddons rape through Maelstroms, harbingers can tank and kill better than the honor tank hurricane, Zealots would easily rape a vagabond retarded enough to come close to it. Curses are fucking better than anything with their nueting power. Guardians are on the same repping level as scimitars, Sure amarr frigates are garbage, but tier 2 cruisers are better than everything. Yes I realize the Legion is garbage, but the Loki isn't much better since it's just an overly expensive vagabond, and like the vagabond can't take on anything higher than a cruiser without getting raped. Yes, a hurricane can kill a vagabond.
