The method described below can be used to:
- Catching enemy caribou during a high-sec war.
- With some changes and additions for catching killwraiths.
So, the wardeck is not going as expected, the enemy blob is too big, the CTAs are not being collected, or there is simply nothing to do.
We will look for enemy miners and agent runners.
And let us not be tormented by doubts on this topic, a red flashing target is always a target, no matter what it is currently sitting on.
In addition, the destruction of caribou causes greater damage to the morale of the enemy than the destruction of PvP players who are ready for losses.
Why? Because the PvP ship is written off in advance as a possible loss, while losing another caribass mobile is much more painful because the loss is unexpected.
Especially for those who live in Haysec.
Everyone caribises in EVE, they just do it in different ways.
We are interested in enemy caribou located in highsec. Because they are least prepared for losses, it seems to them that they will always have time to escape (optimists :)), etc., etc.
Let's get started.
I. Calculation of enemy caribou based on drains on the design bureau.
And we find an alliance with us in a state of wardek.
Let's take the Nebulos as an example.
Having arrived without eve-kill, press search. (1)
Select the search type, in this case alliance (2)
We enter the first few letters of the name of the alliance we are interested in. (3)
We select from the one that appears the corporation of the enemy alliance that interests us (4)
Select Corp List to see what corporations there are.
And select one of them (Ideally, you need to check everything).
It is desirable that it be a corporation with a connected API, because if the API is not connected, then some of the fresh elk we are interested in (hereinafter, elk = loss of a ship or something else) may not be available on the design bureau.
It is preferable to search specifically by corporations and not by the alliance as a whole, because they could have recently joined Ali, and the moose that occurred before joining will not be visible if you view Ali as a whole.
For example, let's choose GreenSpace Inc.
Once on the corporation page, click Losses (1)
We are looking for elk Miners (2) and Agent Runner ships (3) in highsec.
You can immediately skip all the kills in the low, zeros and holes.
KB displays moose for the month, if in the selected month there are no moose of interest to us, then we change the month and, if necessary, the year and move deeper. (highlighted in red - 01 month 2012, i.e. in this case you need to put 12 all the way 01 and 2011 instead of 2012, etc.). It is worth looking at a depth of no more than one year.
Having found a drain that is interesting for us, we add the Persian to our contacts and watchlist (don’t forget to check if he has left the corps/alliance), I will write about the method of calculation and catching later.
How to find miners is obvious; with agentrunners it’s a little more difficult, but also quite achievable.
More on this below.
The moose numbered (3) in the picture above is the agentrunner's moose.
Why is this so visible in the next picture.
Firstly, this is Navi Scorpio. It is not often used in PvP, at least for the agentrunner it is used much more often.
Secondly, he is alone.
Thirdly, an NPC also shot at him, therefore he was on a mission where he was caught. (this condition is generally not necessary since the agent runner can also be caught on the nut).
Fourthly, this happens in Haysec.
The combination of the above factors makes it possible to assume with a 90% probability that this was an agent runner caught during the war or divorced on a mission.
II. Calculation of enemy caribou. Method two, EVE-WHO.
Go to http://evewho.com/
We select the corporation/alliance that interests us
and get a list of pilots.
By choosing a pilot, we get basic information as well as links to keel and moose.
We are most interested in pilots with a minimum number of keels/elks.
The fewer kills, the more likely it is that this person engages exclusively in caribou and never climbs out of highsec.
Inveterate PvP players can also carpool in highsec, but they are more difficult to deal with and during the war they will most likely abandon carbass completely, so I advise you to start with miners and pure agent runners.
Next, you should look at his SS; for agentrunners it is usually greater than zero, the same can be said about miners.
If CC = 0, then most likely this is a Persian who constantly sits at the station for some purpose, although of course it is possible that this is a freighter pilot, so you should not completely exclude such Persians.
III.Search for identified enemy caribou using locator agents.
To do this, you will need agents who can provide information about where this or that pilot is.
Moreover, these agents must belong to the corps available to you by standing (reputation).
In order to find an agent locator in the system you need, the easiest way is to use EVE-Agents.
Enter the name of the system, set locator=YES and if the system has locators, it will show them, if not, the page will remain blank.
Let's take Heck as an example.
Personally, I have 2 agents available here, from Crusual Tribe and from Aliastra.
The agent from Crusual is a first level agent, his search distance is very limited compared to the 4th level agent from Aliastra.
Rates and search frequency of an agent locator can be viewed through its info.
If EVE-Agents is unavailable for some reason, it is possible to use the agent search built into the client.
On the one hand, it is more convenient because you can filter agents by distance from the system you are in; on the other hand, there is no locator filter, i.e. you will have to manually review each agent's information.
If you have already entered this game and liked it, then it is best to make a separate folder for bookmarks and store all available locator agents there.
This will allow you not to waste time on sites and search engines in the future.
The Agent takes the claims immediately; based on their number, you can guess how far away the target is
If there are no prices in the agent's information, then he is not a locator.
You can ask the agent again every 30 minutes.
The search time depends on how far the target is.
If the agent refuses to search, then either the agent is not level 4, or the desired body is hidden in the VH.
After a short time has passed after sending the request, information will be sent.
It will come to the Notifications/Agents section. (same place as the post office)
It will look something like this
I found Iyteno 3 for you.
From: Buedoupon AriqueSent: 2012.03.31 17:20I’ve found your sleazebag.He is in the Aphi system, Araz constellation of the Kador region.With regards,
In this case, the desired body was in space; if it had been sitting on a station, it would have been indicated which one.
Don’t forget that you can always ask on the alliance channel if anyone can pierce the body through the locator.
IV. Catching enemy miners.
So, you managed to figure out a potential target, he is online and in space.
To begin with, about what NOT worth doing, ever
:
- Enter and even approach the target system by any pilot from his alliance closer than 2 jumps before the start of shooting. (When a miner sees someone from your corporation/alliance in the local area, he will immediately get bored or freak out, the same thing in 9 out of 10 cases applies to agentrunners)
- Look for a target of a Persian who was in our alliance but left it relatively recently. In principle, this can work, but the chances that you will be burned are still quite high. And it certainly won't work more than once.
- Wait in a system that lies on a direct path between Heck or Jita and the target system. Because someone from their enemy team may notice you simply by flying past and warn the target. Find another system where you can wait for the moment.
Let's take for example the system Klaevik. (Once they merged two enemy orcs and a couple of hulks there, I’ll try to tell you how it was done and why it was done that way).
First, I flew there with my Alt and saw a pack of C7 miners sitting in the dock. I logged in, logged out, logged in, unblocked... no one came out to mine it....
Those. I scared them, and it could have been so bad that they would not have left the dock at all that day, and perhaps would have changed the place.
Apparently we scared them enough to check the history of the Persian who appeared in the system and Alt was identified. In the end, I left there for Hek in complete frustration, having first, however, found neutral eyes on the nubolet (the success of the ops depends on the presence of such eyes by 50 percent) .
These neutral eyes flew around the belts, nodded, and nodded. And in the end, they waited until the orca entered the andok and noticed which belt the orca went to.
At this moment, our small gang from the inter (in such a gang there should always be an inter and about 40% of the success is due to him because he quickly warps and grabs from afar) a couple of beavers, Celestis and Thrasher moved out of Hek and headed towards Klaevik .
We quickly went through the Orduin system (2) and began in the Engosi system (3), deliberately avoiding the Ridoner system (1). The autopilot draws a path through the Orduin and Ridoner systems, and these are the most logical places to set eyes, and those heading to Klaevik can fly through them.
Whereas the Engosi system is somewhat on the outskirts.
While we were getting there, our scout figured out which belt the targets were on.
We pass into the Atonder system and gather at the Klaevik nut.
The complete absence of strangers in the locale gives us the opportunity to wait for the beaver who is 1 jump behind.
Our scout logs out of the Klaevik system to avoid exposure
Inter goes to Klajevik and warps to the specified Belt to zero (You shouldn’t bring it out with a scout because this 90% means that it will light up, a good inter has a high warp speed and a long diss, that’s why it is needed)
Immediately behind the inter, the entire gang passes, warps to the same belt and grabs the targets.
As a result, the targets cheerfully burst, bringing C7 more than 2 lard of losses http://kb.eve-odessa.com/?a=kill_related&kll_id=12909682 , neutral eyes remain unlit and are ready for new exploits, PvP account is replenished by 100kk from the sale of faction loot one of the orcs.
We return to Heck in good spirits and part ways.
V. Catching enemy agent runners.
As with catching miners, it all starts with locator agents and neutral eyes.
If an agent wrote to you that a Persian is sitting in the dock at a station, immediately check to see if there are 4 agents at this station.
If they exist, then with a high probability this is the agentrunner’s base.
If an agent wrote that he is in space, then he is probably making a bowl and his agent is, if not in the same system, then within one jump from it, in very rare cases within 2.
We send the eyes into the system, figure out what the person is on and where his agent is located.
If you found it at the station dock with the 4th agent, it means it's here.
Having calculated the type of ship, we prepare the appropriate gang.
The following points should be taken into account:
- The agentrunner most likely has an active tank, i.e. A few neutrals won't hurt.
- Tanked for profile damage (i.e. if it is in matarium, then it definitely won’t have a hole in the explosive, just like in thermal in the case of gelentium).
- Most likely equipped with well-pumped drones.
While the assembled gang gets to the place (in 2 jumps on the outskirts, it’s not a bad idea to hide in low, expensive caribass mobiles don’t go low).
The eyes calculate into which system the body is pouring onto the bowl... and then there are several options.
- If the eyes are sufficiently pumped up for scanning with plugs, then knowing the shiptype, scan it on the bowl, then the inter gang comes up behind it and the target merrily dies under the unwritten sign.
- If the eyes are not pumped up enough, then the inter will have to prop up the nut into which the agentrunner left in the hope that there are no eyes and that he will be able to take him on his return to the agent.
In this case, the ganga will be better positioned in such a way that it passes through the system where the bowl is made.
Caribai mobiles are often quite thick and it is quite likely that it will push back into the nut, so someone with diesel should wait for it on the other side.
As a last resort, you can do it differently - after the gank has intercepted the goal from the inter (intercepted with scrum and at least one net since caribay mobiles are sometimes AB), the inter will deaggro and wait for either an egg or a signal to go into the nut to keep the goal with on the other side while the rest of the gang de-aggros.
VI.Conclusion
To catch enemy caribou you need:
- Loactor agents
- Neutral Scout
- Inter.
- Small, mobile and damage gank.
- Elaboration of the approach (Neutral eyes can look through neighboring systems and select the appropriate one).
- A lot of patience (an activity akin to fishing).
Do not hesitate to ask to break through the Persian in the Ali channel, and pull people from there.
The methods described above can also be used to catch killrights.
The main goal in the EVE Online universe is power in any of its manifestations. For example, you can gain market power in one space system, constellation, or even region. You can gain military superiority or political dominance, both over a single space system and over an entire region consisting of dozens of systems.
In the space mmorpg EVE Online there are many game styles that allow you to achieve one thing or another - from extreme PVP to measured and calm mining (mining useful ores from asteroids). In any case, for the successful and rapid development of a corporation of players, as well as obtaining significant income, joint actions of various types of players are necessary.
Don't have an account yet? Hurry up, register in EVE Online and start writing the history of this world together with the rest of the Russian-speaking community!
Wealth, power, influence!
There are hundreds of ways to spend your time in the world of EVE Online, and many of them have not even been invented yet, and you may find yourself at the origins of new military tactics or ways of economic domination! It doesn't matter what you prefer - in any case you will find your place in the EVE Online universe.
The currency in EVE Online is Intergalactic Credits ( ISK). As you know, money is the root of any power. There are many ways to obtain ISK available, and pilots are constantly inventing and finding new ways. Here are some of the most common and easily accessible:
Mineral mining
Mining the main resources in EVE Online - minerals - means mining asteroids in asteroid belts that are found in any space system. First, you receive raw ore of one type or another, depending on the selected asteroid. After which this ore must be processed in special plants located at the stations. The minerals obtained in this way can be either sold or put into production by building ships and modules for them.
NPC Agent Missions
Each NPC corporation working for the government of a particular NPC faction in EVE has many agents who are ready to hire pilots to perform certain tasks. The more trust you inspire in a certain corporation, the more agents will want to work with you and pay more ISK.
Exploration of space anomalies and wormholes
The EVE Online space is full of secrets and the unknown. You may discover a secret pirate base or an ancient research laboratory, and a wormhole may lead you to a previously unknown system with untold riches.
Science and research
Scientists in the EVE Online universe are researching and inventing blueprints. This allows existing designs to be used with greater efficiency and lower production costs, and also opens up the possibility of obtaining very valuable and rare copies. Drawings invented by scientists can be very expensive, since only they know all the secrets of building rare and high-tech ships and modules.
Production
Any production involves the construction of a particular module or ship according to the drawings. The manufacturer knows how to effectively use plant conveyors, which allows him to save resources during construction.
Trade craft
Businessmen make ISK by reselling everything they can buy on the market in the EVE Online universe. They get along better with brokers in the market, are able to negotiate lower taxes, are able to sign dozens of contracts and place hundreds of buy or sell orders.
Bounty Hunt
Rewards are given for destroying ships of pirate corporations. The more dangerous the pirate, the more reward you will receive for his destruction. Moreover, these can be both non-player characters (Non-Player Character, NPC) and real pilots.
Piracy
Pirates try to take over the property of other pilots by any means possible. This can be either simple theft or entire operations to seize transported goods and destroy their escort.
In this guide I will look at PVP in Security Status 0.0 systems. Despite the fact that many of the issues I discussed here are true for PVP in the empire (SS systems 0.5 and higher) and lowsec (SS systems 0.1 - 0.4), these issues were still considered from the point of view of combat in SS 0.0 systems. This guide is intended for those pilots who are no longer confused by the names of modules, have not yet plunged into the wonderful area of EVE - PVP, but are already thinking about doing so.

Who needs this guide and why?
The first and main goal is to increase the overall level of PVP of Russian-speaking players. In this guide I will look at PVP in Security Status 0.0 systems. Despite the fact that many of the issues I discussed here are true for PVP in the empire (SS systems 0.5 and higher) and lowsec (SS systems 0.1 - 0.4), these issues were still considered from the point of view of combat in SS 0.0 systems. This guide is intended for those pilots who are no longer confused by the names of modules, have not yet plunged into the wonderful area of EVE - PVP, but are already thinking about doing so. Typically, these are pilots with two months or more experience in the game.
General questions Combat philosophy
Strange as it may seem to some, there is such a philosophy. Why is it needed? As a philosophy, it defines the principles of perception, information processing and decision making in combat situations.
First of all, I note that PVP is a competition in achieving set goals; the essence of PVP is that rivals often set mutually exclusive goals and strive for them. PVP is not a fight in which you kill someone or they kill you, it is not violence in itself, it is just a competition. Yes, we honestly admit that participants do not always compete by mutual desire and agreement, but at the same time, the formation of a combat situation can be predicted, and you can always take measures to avoid a combat situation if you intend to do so. Simply put: if you are a member of an NPC corporation and do not leave systems with high CC, then the likelihood of combat situations for you personally tends to zero, but by simply becoming a member of the player corporation, you already agree that, according to the rules of the game, your ships can attack, declaring war, and if you entered the SS system below 0.5, then any pilot can attack you with almost impunity.
So - competition. What do people compete in in combat situations? They compete to achieve their goals. The whole interesting thing is that the goals of the participants in the battle can be very different, and their circle is not at all limited to “shoot down/run away”. Of course, goals must be adequate to the conditions of the situation and fundamentally achievable. Thus, we come to the obvious: before setting a goal, it is necessary to assess the combat situation and the possibility of one’s influence on its development. And only after assessing the situation can we begin to set our goals in it. There may be more than one goal, but, as a rule, all goals can be arranged in a hierarchy - ordered by importance. Here we come to an important principle that affects your satisfaction from completing a combat situation: regardless of the results achieved by your opponent, you win the combat situation if you achieve your main goal.
Examples:
- you have met a lonely ship, flying about its business and avoiding combat collisions, set the goal to “destroy the ship”, catch it and destroy it - the goal has been achieved, you have won;
- you are flying about your business, avoiding combat situations, but you meet a ship that is attacking you, your goal in this combat situation is “to avoid combat by continuing to move to your destination,” you successfully avoid combat and escape pursuit - you have won;
- you fall out of the gate and see that superior forces are waiting for you there, your goal is “to save the ship by continuing further movement”, you accelerate and warp to the next points, reach them and successfully enter, the pursuit has fallen behind - you have won in this combat situation .
This is the first and most important thing, I repeat:
PVP is a competition to achieve your goals in a combat situation. You win a combat situation if you achieve your goals in it. Winning is not affected by the result your opponent achieves unless your goal is to prevent him from doing so. Understanding and using these principles gives you the opportunity to win in absolutely any combat situations, because... You yourself determine the rules of victory.
The second important principle of combat is that the one who has the strongest fighting spirit here and now wins. You don’t have to look far for examples; many people know what the Red Alliance pilots went through when they had to literally reclaim a place on the map occupied by their rivals from scratch; this is impossible without high morale. There is an opposite example - the ASCN alliance, the same alliance that at one time had the largest territory, owned the largest number of outposts in the zeros and built the first titan. The morale of this alliance was destroyed along with that very first titan, but to be precise, with the destruction of the titan, the weakness of the fighting spirit simply became obvious first of all to the pilots of the alliance, they could no longer deceive themselves with fairy tales about their strength - the alliance died.
Combat in EVE (and any combat in general) is a fight on the spiritual level, one might say that it is a psychological rivalry. Imagine a spider sitting in the center of the web, waiting for a bee. The bee gets caught in the web, begins to buzz loudly, and breaks out, for it this is a great tragedy, and the spider calmly and inevitably... eats. Can a bee kill a spider? Maybe, but her desire to resist is broken by her thirst for life and fear. Any actions directed against your opponent’s fighting spirit, making him despondent, depriving him of the desire to resist, lead you to victory over him. If you keep your fighting spirit high, then you are invincible. But there is one subtlety here: it is impossible to maintain high morale indefinitely if you lose in combat situations more often than you win. Despite any PR, even the stupidest person who hawks the products of this PR knows his worth deep down, and when he realizes that those around him also know his worth, his morale will be broken. Therefore, always strive to admit your mistakes, work to ensure that your assessment of yourself and your capabilities is as close to reality as possible - this is the best protection against a drop in morale, we must know our worth and do not hesitate to talk about it, in this case we will understand , that we still have room to grow, and we will grow into the right fighter. The right fighter is a spider that does not fight its prey, but eats it.
Selecting a character's race
The first and main criterion for choosing a character that should concern you is that you should like the character. You should like his portrait and his attributes. Despite the fact that the Caldari characters Acura are very fashionable today, I note that in about a year and a half you will most likely be completely confused about how “wrong” your initial attributes are, the main requirement for them is that perception should not be underestimated. Why? Because this attribute is used for the largest number of skills required by a fighter, but this does not mean that you do not need charisma or memory, do not forget that secondary attributes also affect the speed of learning, charisma is needed for naval skills, for skills for everything For drones, the leading one is memory, for engineering, mechanics, navigation and electronics, the leading one is intelligence, and for skills on T2 ships - willpower (remember again when you upgrade to perfect). Therefore, if this is your main and only character, I recommend lowering charisma, raising perception a little, and making the remaining attributes approximately the same. In each race you can make a normal fighter. Having lost a little in the speed of learning cannon and missile skills, you will make up for most of this time in support skills, and after a year and a half, when all the necessary skills have been learned, it will not be particularly important to you how many skill points that Vasya was ahead of you, because you will know that in PVP it is not skill points, cool ships and modules that rule, but morale, correct assessment of combat situations and the speed of making the right decisions.
Principles for choosing tactics
The basic principle of choosing tactics is that the tactics should correspond to your character, you should like to fight using exactly this tactics. There are no universal tactics, the beauty of EVE is that there will always be counter-tactics, but if you choose the right battle conditions, you will get a decisive advantage. From this follows the main rule of a fighter - your tactics are the best if you know how to choose the right conditions for its use. This rule has an important consequence - there are no best ships and best feats, but there are best fighter pilots who use tactics correctly. Using the features of ships, we can achieve the highest effectiveness of our tactics, but if the tactics are bad, then no ship or fit will provide us with victory.
Principles for choosing ships
The basic principle of choosing a ship goes something like this: your ship should be the most effective for fighting the battle using your chosen tactics. The ships of each race have certain characteristics that distinguish these ships into a certain general group in terms of battle tactics. Short:
Amarr- this is the best damage to shields (EM), the best optimal in close combat, tanking on armor, low speed (a feature of tanking armor - plates, reduce speed and maneuverability). Recently, melee missiles were added for half of the T2 ships, but they have not yet become widespread; apparently, the Amarrs are still just pumping up missiles for themselves. Infinite lenses can be charged into lasers - there is no problem with the supply of ammunition. Changing the type of lenses in lasers occurs instantly (for other races, recharging takes 10 seconds). The ship's energy is used for firing; no energy means no firing.
Caldari- best average damage: the shield and armor have the lowest total resistance to this type of damage, taking into account the most common feats in PVP. This means that every fighter wants to cover the holes in his tank, and the disadvantage of the kineticist is that he is not too low to cover it in the first place, but not too high so that the damage dealer ignores him. The Caldari tank shield, so their ships have a lot of medium slots, but the problem is with speed, because... if there is a lack of lower slots, you have to choose between increasing the damage dealt (damage mods) and speed (nano fit). There is a secondary type of weapon - hybrids, which can be considered both an advantage and a disadvantage. In addition, the Caldari have the longest-range cannon ships - this also cannot be assessed unambiguously. The best "switching electronics" are jammers. The ship's energy is not used to fire rockets, so it is impossible to stop the rocket man firing by depriving him of energy.
Minmatar- the fastest ships, approximately equal number of middle and lower slots, this gives some versatility in choosing the type of tank and allows you to avoid the “nano or damage” dilemma when tanking with a shield (we put both nano and damage!), but, like all generalists, they lose in specializations - not the best tank on a shield and not the best tank on armor, the lowest DPS (damage per second), but the highest alpha strike (damage inflicted by one shot), which makes Tempest the optimal naval damage ship. Just like missiles, Minmatar machine guns and artillery do not require energy to fire.
Gallente- the highest DPS at the lowest combat distance (blasters), complete rejection of missiles (most ships do not have slots for missile launchers), the best drones (ships with bonuses for drones). A tank is usually armored, which again reduces speed and maneuverability. Dampeners are not the worst electronics in the game - they reduce the speed and/or aiming range. Firing requires the ship's energy, although in less quantity than Amarr lasers.
At one time, the author was tormented for a long time by choosing the race of ships (born Caldari - Sivir). The author was of little interest in the appearance of the ships, he only disliked the Minmatar ships, he subconsciously felt that the choice of the ship race should depend on the preferred battle tactics, but the author had not yet formulated tactical preferences, so it was difficult to choose the ships, he swayed the Caldari ships a little - not then, then the Amarr - not that, the Minmatar... and I realized that despite the unsightly appearance of the “Minmatar”, they are the most effective in their preferred battle tactics. I repeat - the choice of ship should be dictated by the chosen tactics if we are concerned about the effectiveness of the battle. Over time, mastering new battle tactics, we will upgrade those ships that allow us to be the most effective in implementing these tactics.
Principles for choosing a fit
We must select a fit in much the same way as a ship - according to the chosen battle tactics. This means that if we chose the battle tactic “rotate the orbit 18 km while shooting the target,” then installing two plates in the lower slots is a bad choice, because we will lose speed and maneuverability, which will allow the target to either approach us within the distance of the net and shoot, or break the distance and leave the battle - in both cases the battle will be lost, the only difference is the consequences for us. If our tactic is “come up point-blank, take it under the net and shoot,” then installing artillery (or its equivalent in other races - railguns and beam lasers) will also be a bad choice, because There are weapons that are more effective at such a distance - machine guns, blasters, pulse lasers, if we want to shoot a target from afar, then long-range weapons and damage mods, even at the expense of tanking, are the best choice. You should not have extra modules that you installed on the ship according to the “just to have it” principle, there will always be a module that will increase the effectiveness of the chosen tactics (no need to install a tractor beam on a warship), look for it, you will definitely find it, Quickfit and EFT can help you. You should not place weapons of different types and different combat distances on the ship at the same time, such an installation will allow you not to “hit hard at far and near”, but “to hit hard at everyone”, damage should always be focused on one target, because the target is always tanked and has a limit of tankable damage per second, the more you exceed this limit, the faster it will die and the less damage you yourself will receive.
Overview
Overview is the same transparent table on which you see nearby objects (ships, containers, local structures, etc.) and objects of the star system (stations, gates, planets, moons, asteroid belts, system beacons, etc. ). The importance of this tool is difficult to overestimate. The overview has settings that allow you to customize it very flexibly, filtering the displayed objects, highlighting them, marking them with icons, displaying columns with additional information (speed, distance, data about the alliance, type of object), etc. Settings can be saved, thus obtaining many different sets for all occasions. I won’t dwell on it in detail, look for specialized manuals and study them, kick more experienced comrades, let them share their experience.
Map
The map allows us to find clusters of opponents, determine the location of battles, etc. It has various filters that allow you to obtain information about the state of systems, just look at what filters are there, you will have to decide for yourself which of them you need. From my own experience, I can say that in different situations absolutely all filters are needed; there are simply no unnecessary ones.
Local
Local chat is a channel called "Local", the one that cannot be closed. This channel should be positioned so that you can see as many pilots as possible in this channel - all these pilots are in the same system with you. Pilots may have a colored icon that matches your overview settings. If your alliance's policy does not prohibit attacking pilots, then they are potentially your rivals. I think it’s worth mentioning that information about the pilot, which opens through the Show Info menu item when you right-click on the pilot’s name, can serve as the basis for a basic assessment of his main type of activity, the level of knowledge of his skills and, as a result, his combat qualities. True, there is not always time for such an assessment, and it may differ significantly from reality. In this case, only experience will help us.
Scanner
A scanner is a device that allows you to obtain primary information about enemy ships and find their location in the system. I won’t give a description of working with the scanner; there are quite good tutorials on this topic. I will only note that a scanner is one of the main tactical tools of a fighter and the ability to use it well is the key to your success in combat situations.

If we are looking for a solo or small group fight, then it would be logical to design the route in such a way as to get the greatest number of combat situations. We will find the greatest number of them in highly populated systems and on frequently used routes. We can get all this information through the galaxy map, applying the appropriate filters (by the number of pilots in space in the last half hour and by the number of jumps within systems). If your goal is not to squeeze targets out of their habitats, then try not to fly the same route all the time, because... this leads to the habituation of targets, they remember you and hide in advance, avoiding combat in this way, and we strive to get the greatest number of combat situations.
Camps and their passage
A camp is a cluster of ships at the gate with means of intercepting targets - Mobile Warp Disruptors and interdictors.
If you encounter a friendly camp, then you will not have problems passing, but its interception means can be used to catch your targets if, for example, they are friendly to this camp, but not friendly to you.
If you encounter a hostile camp, the choice is yours - fight, pass, or change route.
Some tips for passing camps:
Otvarp. If the camp does not have ships with a high base locking speed (interceptors, other frigates with sensor boosters), then you can simply warp.
- Leaving back to the gate. You hang invisibly at the gate for some time, and then go back through it at maximum speed. To do this, we use the autopilot and MWD, set the autopilot a waypoint to the system you just left, turn it on and wait for the ship to start picking up speed, immediately turn on the MWD and wait for the ship to jump into the gate. As soon as the “JUMPING” message appears, the autopilot must be turned off. Why autopilot? Because it is he who will turn on the jump as soon as the distance required for the jump is reached. However, even the autopilot sometimes does not work.
- Pulling out the interceptor. If there are only one or two interceptors on the camp, and all other ships are initially inferior to you in speed, there are no ships with long-range meshes (Stasis Webifier - Rapier, Huginn or Hyena) or with jammers, then you can escape from the camp by attacking this single interceptor . The technique is simple: we turn on the acceleration on some object, immediately start locking out the interceptors, activate the guns on the most dangerous one and see what happens. In most cases, the interceptor will stop pursuing, because by continuing it, he risks being shot down, and the support of heavier comrades is too far from him. If the interceptor does not give up pursuit, then our task is to kill him at a distance from the camp, but no further than 150 km, because at this distance and beyond, his comrades can simply warp towards him.
Search for rivals
Our main goal as a fighter is to maximize the number of combat situations. I will dwell in more detail on the combat situation itself. A combat situation is a situation in which we can set targets against our opponent. An important condition for a combat situation is the presence of an opponent; without him, a combat situation is impossible. Therefore, the search for rivals is the main goal of a fighter, if an opponent is found, a combat situation is found, you can set goals in it and begin to achieve them, showing your fighting qualities. To find opponents, we have three most important tools - a map, local chat and a scanner. In addition to these three tools, there are a number of different ways to find an opponent, in principle, any source of information that leads us to a combat situation is useful - forums, intelligence channel-alliance chat, security agents, general channels, etc.
Battle "Agra"
The concept of “aggra” (aggra, agro, aggro) is one of the key concepts in the combat mechanics of EVE (not key concepts, we are not considering it here). "Agra" comes in five types, we are currently interested in only one of them - the time during which you cannot pass through the gates between systems and enter the docking stations. Simply put, this is the time during which you cannot leave the space of a given system, no matter what, in EVE language - you cannot change session. The duration of the aggro is counted by a special timer, the time is 60 seconds. The condition for turning on this timer is an attack on any object in space. An attack means the activation of any module or drones that causes any damage to any object in space. Such an object can be anything, from a container or gate nearby, to your co-corps member.
Why is agriculture important to us? Depending on the situation, agra can either hinder us or help us. If the opponent tries to leave the battle, then the presence of aggro deprives him of the opportunity to jump into the gate or hide in the station before it expires. If we want to leave the battle or separate our opponents, then after waiting until the opponent (or part of the opponents) receives aggro (attacks us), we can go into the gate, leaving the battle, or dividing the opponents (those with aggro, into the gate they won’t come in, but someone without aggro can come in and give us a different combat situation, more advantageous). Understanding and knowing how to use aggro is one of the keys to victory in combat situations.
Avoiding the fight
There are often combat situations in which your goal is simple survival - preserving the ship. You can avoid a fight using the aggro mechanism; you also don’t have to wait to meet your opponent, limiting yourself to only seeing him on the scanner. If you have a speed advantage, you can simply gain distance. But with all this, it is important to understand that not in all combat situations it is necessary to destroy the enemy’s ships; often simple survival, especially if the opponent (or group of opponents) is obviously stronger than you here and now - this is your victory. Do not engage in battle if you are not sure of your victory.
Entering the battle
An important feature of entering into battle is that combat can always be avoided if measures are taken in advance. A very important conclusion follows from this: you must look so that your opponents want to fight you. In the vast majority of cases, numerical superiority frightens your opponents, so your strong point should be good organization, accurate calculations and high morale. The key to victory is the correct choice of location; tactics significantly depend on the location of the battle, and what is an advantage in one place may turn out to be a disadvantage leading to defeat in another.
Fighting at the gate
The first feature of fighting at the gate is the active use of the “aggra” mechanism, the second feature is the exit from the gate 15 km from it. Agra allows you to divide your opponents into groups to destroy their ships piece by piece. A distance of 15 km to the gate is an opportunity to hold your opponent, not allow him to reach the gate and run away from you.
The gates have one more feature - you can almost safely observe your opponent if you are closer than 2500 m from the gates; at the first danger, you simply enter them and warp off somewhere. A good method to counter this is to "bump". A bump is an accelerating strike with the hull of your ship on an opponent's ship. The bump does not turn on aggro, but it gives speed to the ship it was applied to, which makes it fly away from the gate and makes it impossible to jump into it. The best method to avoid a bump is to fly around the gate in a 500 m orbit, in 99% of bump attempts, the bumper will simply miss your ship, and you will still remain near the gate in relative safety. But in any case, it is better to monitor the speed of your opponents (in the overview you can display the corresponding column) so that the bump does not come as a surprise to you.
The battle at the gate is the most common battle; I think I will not be wrong if I say that more than half of all battles in SS 0.0 systems take place at the gate.
On the andok
Features of combat on the andok of a station are the active use of the aggro mechanism and the ability to quickly restore shield and energy (capacitor charge) and repair armor and structure by docking, repairs and subsequent andok from the station. In the vast majority of cases, combat on the andok is possible only with the desire of those who have the opportunity to dock at the station, so if the opponent does not show the desire to fight (does not attack you), then the battle most likely will not take place.You should also take into account the possibility of a mass undocking of opponents to help their comrade.
Far from all objects
In outer space combat, conditions are almost always dictated by faster ships. Therefore, if you are not confident in your tank or your speed, it is better not to fight in outer space. The advantage in speed allows you to leave the battle at any convenient moment, which a ship that does not have this advantage is deprived of.
Combat in outer space is possible only in two cases:
1) This is a fixed fight.
2) You found your opponent (or he found you) using scan tests.
Therefore, battles in outer space are rare battles in SS 0.0 systems.
In the asteroid belt
A battle in an asteroid belt is a battle in outer space, with the only difference being that the indigenous inhabitants of this asteroid belt can take part in it. The peculiarity is that they most often attack the one who first flew to the belt, so be prepared to tank them if this is you. In addition, if the battle takes place in close proximity to rocks, then your ship may get entangled in them and lose direction and speed, and a loss of speed is almost always an increase in damage received from opponents (read guides on turrets and missiles, the dependence is described there) .
Tournament
A tournament is a battle with additional restrictions on the pilot's capabilities. As a rule, the conditions of battle in a tournament differ significantly from the conditions of a real battle; as an example, I will give only a few of them:
- restrictions on the modules used reduce the pilot’s combat capabilities;
- the restriction on leaving the battle makes it possible not to install modules that prevent warp on the ship, and, as a result, due to the freed slots, you can improve the shield tank or install additional electronics; speed in battle becomes less important for victory;
- the restriction on the gap in distance almost always makes it impossible to divide the forces of opponents, i.e. we have to fight wall to wall, but the positive point here is that the forces of our opponents are not numerically superior to us;
A tournament battle is a battle in open space, and we already know that battles in open space are the rarest in SS 0.0 systems. In addition, withdrawing from a tournament battle is almost always a loss according to the tournament rules.
Exit from battle
So, we entered the battle, but saw that the battle process was out of our control, we need to leave the battle so as not to lose our ship (if loss is not our goal). The method of exit depends significantly on the location of the battle. The most commonly used:
1) Gaining distance with going beyond the reach of opponents’ weapons and, possibly, subsequent warping.
2) Wait out the “agra” and leave for the gate, or dock at the station.
The skill responsible for exiting the battle - shooting - is the second skill that a fighter develops after the ability to maneuver in battle.
Fleet
The fleet and its goals
Let's agree on terms. A fleet is a group of ships united by a single command and within itself a clear division into two subgroups - the fleet core and support. Despite the fact that the game mechanism allows you to create a fleet without any restrictions, in this guide I will use the term “fleet” to mean exactly the above.
So, why are we going to the navy? The answer is obvious - to qualitatively improve our capabilities through a clear division of roles and better coordination. As a rule, a fleet is a group of ships of 10 or more, because in such a group it becomes possible to cover the largest number of roles by allocating separate ships for each of them. A smaller group forces its members to combine roles, which affects the efficiency of execution. In the extreme, a fleet can consist of one single pilot who will perform all the necessary roles in it... try to equip a ship for all occasions, and you will understand what I'm talking about.
The purpose of the fleet, as a rule, is to fight with comparable forces of rivals, almost always these forces are also combined into a fleet.
Choosing a role in the fleet
The fleet allows for narrow specialization in a chosen role, which means for us that we can do what we like and do best. In other words, if you are the best performer in a role that attracts you, then you will almost always perform that particular role in the Navy - isn't that a good incentive to excel? Three important principles for choosing your role in the fleet:
1) The Navy must need this role.
2) You should like playing the role.
3) You must be able to perform this role with sufficient quality.
The need for a role in the fleet is determined by the tasks that are set for the fleet at the time of its assembly. In most cases, the fleet commander can tell you whether this particular role is needed. If you like the chosen role, then you will strive to perform it as best as possible - this is the guarantee that next time you will get the same role.
Selection of ship and fit for the role
Role specialization gives us the opportunity to use specialized ships that have bonuses for fulfilling a certain role. The peculiarity of EVE balance is that while having an advantage in some specialization, a ship always has significant disadvantages in all other specializations, but the advantage obtained is qualitative, i.e. no reasonable number of non-specialized ships could outperform a specialist. The above is the basis for the qualitative advantage of a fleet with an internal division of roles over a fleet that does not have such an internal division. Your choice of role and fit should be subordinated to only one thing - the best performance of the role in the fleet. If you are a tackler, then your ship should be equipped to capture the target as quickly as possible and hold the target for as long as possible; if you are an electronics jammer, then you should be able to quickly disable enemy ships from the battle better and faster than his electronics do, if you are a “damage dealer” , then they must inflict simply gigantic damage - the survival of the fleet in battle depends on this, if you are a covert, you must have maximum movement speed in a hidden state, mobility to quickly change position, minimum scanning time for scan samples, etc.
Moving the fleet, entering battle in the fleet
A fleet is a group of ships with a specialization, therefore the order of movement of the fleet should ensure its fastest deployment and the entry of its ships into their role, in addition, some roles of the fleet are performed already on the march:
1) Commander - here, I think, there is no need to explain much - general command of the fleet.
2) Reconnaissance is a group of ships - the vanguard of the fleet, the eyes and ears of the entire fleet.
As a rule, reconnaissance searches all surrounding systems along the fleet's route in search of combat situations, unless the fleet has a specific goal and is not heading towards an already known combat situation. The rest of the fleet is moving as a single group. Unless otherwise determined by the fleet commander, you will save a lot of emotions for the commander and intelligence if you are always in the crowd of your comrades, in addition, this will allow you to avoid getting into a combat situation far from the fleet, where your narrow specialization almost always makes you an easy target for any single hunter ship.
Leaving and entering combat in the navy differs from outside combat in that you must enter combat on command, not on your personal readiness. This means that when the command arrives, you must be ready. If reconnaissance is with you in a common voice channel, then all its reports are no less important for you than for the fleet commander; this makes it possible to navigate the combat situation and predict its development, which will allow you to best fulfill your role.
Exit from battle in the fleet
The only condition for your leaving the battle in the fleet is the impossibility of further fulfilling the role. Your ship is turned off electronically, is held by tacklers out of combat, you receive critical damage - these are all situations when you can be puzzled by questions of your own survival, because... in most cases, in this state you are useless to the fleet (but not always, since being a target for tacklers and electronics is also useful). If you leave the battle, then, if possible, inform the commander about this in the voice chat - he should know what forces he can count on in this battle.
Naval combat
Conducting combat in the fleet is the fulfillment of the assumed role. Let's list the main roles in the fleet and figure out what they are. Let me make a reservation right away that these are not all possible roles in the fleet, but the ones listed below are almost always present. In addition, there are roles that do not require a special ship or fit, and are purely informational, coordinating, here each fleet has room for creativity. Discussing the role of capital ships (dreadnoughts, carriers and titans) is beyond the scope of this guide.
Commander
The commander is the head of the fleet. It would be wrong to assume that the commander should make all decisions himself, but in any case he is responsible for the fleet achieving its goals. This responsibility is reputation. Due to the fact that in EVE there are no game methods by which pilots can be forced to join a fleet with a specific commander, all pilots have a certain freedom in choosing a fleet commander, i.e. They try not to go to an unlucky commander. This is an absolutely correct attitude, one might say, feedback for the fleet commander, the morale of the pilots at the end of a fleet operation is an assessment to the commander. The remaining functions of the commander are obvious; I will not dwell on them.
Fleet core
Heavy ships
Heavy ships are battleships. Their main role, as a rule, is to inflict maximum damage on specified targets and take damage from the opposing fleet. Accordingly, they are required to simultaneously take actions to capture targets and activate their guns on the target. A feature of the naval battle is the amount of instant damage, i.e. the strength of one salvo of the fleet. With ideal coordination, heavy ships (if there are enough of them in the fleet) can kill every target with the first salvo, thus, in theory, one time is enough for each heavy ship of the opposing fleet salvo. The highest rate of salvo damage is possessed by the Minmatar ship Tempest, armed with 1400mm T2 artillery, it is this fact that has earned it fame as the best naval ship. But this does not mean that ships of other races are worse, in real combat, in addition to basic damage to the gun, it affects the efficiency of heavy ships. is influenced by several different factors - the distance to the target, its angular speed, the power of its tank, the simultaneity of salvos of ships, the speed of decision-making of the target designator, etc. Thus, it turns out that if the target was not killed by the first salvo, then the remnants of its tank will finish off, giving the opportunity to shoot at the next target, not Tempests at all, but some Megatrons or Armageddons that have a higher frequency of shots. The most important thing: there cannot be a fleet without a core, so its formation usually begins with heavy ships, and only if there are a sufficient number of them, the collection of ships for other roles begins.
Anti-support
Anti-support is the protection of heavy ships from the support of rival fleets. This group includes all roles focused on effectively neutralizing all support roles for the opposing fleet. Anti-support, as a rule, moves along with the core of the fleet, so the requirements for the speed and maneuverability of its ships are at the level of those for heavy ships. Simply put, anti-support is the protection of heavy ships, which should be located next to them and work against the support of the opposing fleet. Neutralizing the opponent's tacklers, electronics, and little things is the task of anti-support. In the slang of players, anti-support is “anti-support”, from English. antisupport.
Support
An effective fleet is unthinkable without support ships. Fast and maneuverable ships of the "cruiser" and "frigate" classes are capable of performing a huge number of tasks, providing the core of the fleet with the opportunity to achieve the main goal of the operation. To understand the importance of fleet support, it is enough to know that, all other things being equal, a battle between two fleets of the same size, one of which consists entirely of heavy ships, and the second is balanced by support, will most likely end in the victory of the balanced fleet, because neutralizing ships with electronics, holding a destroyed target with tacklers, reconnaissance, bringing heavy ships to the optimal combat distance - all this is provided by support ships. Below are the main support roles:
Vanguard
The scout in the vanguard is the pilot who is the first to enter the systems along the fleet route, going no further than 2 systems ahead. I will not sin against the truth if I say that this is the second role after the commander in the fleet, on whose actions the initial conditions of the combat situation depend. Vanguard reconnaissance is the eyes of the fleet and its vanguard. Inexperienced commanders often send newcomers to the vanguard on cheap ships, this makes sense, because you don’t mind losing a cheap ship, and the loss of an inexperienced newcomer is almost unnoticeable for the fleet. As a result, such commanders receive incomplete information about the systems where the vanguard operates; worse, an inexperienced pilot may lose sight of key information, which may well lead to unfavorable initial conditions of the combat situation and loss of the battle. In addition, imagine a situation in which a lone Rifter logged into the system begins to attack ships like a bulldog, for which he alone is completely harmless. Any pilot who takes the trouble to think about such strange behavior will come to the conclusion that in the neighboring system this bulldog has powerful support, which is just waiting for someone to get involved in a battle against this bulldog.
The best vanguard reconnaissance is a pilot with extensive experience in successful solo battles, who can quickly and correctly assess the situation and report everything important to the fleet. The minimum requirements for a vanguard reconnaissance ship are high speed (from 4-6 km/s) and moderate tanking. The vanguard scout always has at least a minute to receive support from the fleet if he finds himself in a combat situation - 30 seconds after entering the system with opponents, moving away from them back into the gate and another 30 seconds of remaining invisibility after leaving these gate During this time, fleet support will almost always have time to come to the rescue.
It happens that pilots in stealth frigates (covert ops) are sent as the vanguard; such pilots can perform reconnaissance tasks well, but this is not enough for the vanguard. A good vanguard is not only reconnaissance, it is also an opportunity to start a battle and hold out until fleet support arrives. It follows that the best vanguard for a fleet is 1-2 experienced pilots on ships of the Heavy Assault Cruiser or Recon class.
Favorite role of the author.
Covert
Covert Ops is almost pure reconnaissance; this role does not imply direct influence on the ships of the opposing fleet. The capabilities of the covert required by the fleet are reconnaissance of moons with POS (POS), other well-protected objects, scanning of open space in order to search for enemy ships and launching their fleet to them, positioning the fleet at the beginning of the battle, i.e. work as a lighthouse. To fulfill this role, only 4 ships are ideal, one for each race. In addition, Force Recon class ships equipped with a Covert Ops Cloacking Device II can also play the role of a cover, with the difference that these ships have a 2-3 times lower scanning speed using scan probes, but with At the same time, they have some firepower, moderate tanking and electronic warfare capabilities, which gives them the ability to hold a single target until fleet support approaches.
Takler
The role of the tackler is to hold the target with the help of devices that deprive the target of the ability to warp (Warp Disruptor). Usually, if a combat situation unfolds in a way that is not favorable for one of the parties, then this side seeks to escape from the battle; the tacklers’ task is to prevent their opponents from escaping from the battle or withdrawing from it. In this regard, the requirements for ships and tackler equipment are the following: a Warp Disruptor device (or its modifications), speed to quickly reach the operating range of these devices, and the ability to survive under enemy anti-support fire. A tackler can survive only due to one factor - speed and maneuverability. We can say that a tackler is the first step in a pilot’s combat career, because... the ability to maneuver in combat is the first skill of a combat pilot.
Electronics
The task of the fleet's electronic warfare group is to neutralize electronic warfare and, if possible, heavy ships of rivals. The first task is to neutralize electronic warfare, the second is to neutralize the core. Why is that? Because if you first start neutralizing the core of the fleet, then the opposing electronic warfare ships will have the opportunity to neutralize our electronic warfare and then neutralize our core, so it turns out that the electronic warfare of your fleet will not complete its task, being neutralized. The main factor here is good coordination within the group, which makes it possible not to duplicate targets and the speed of taking a target; the speed factor plays a key role, because you need to turn off your opponents' electronic warfare before it does the same to you. The exceptional danger of electronic warfare ships makes them the first target in almost every battle. Usually the battle begins with the destruction of the Caldari (Sensor Jammer) and Gallentean (Sensor Dampener and Warp Disruptor) enemy electronic warfare ships; Amarr electronics (Tracking Disruptor and Energy Neutralizer) are less dangerous and less commonly used, and Minmatar electronics (Stasis Webifier and Target Painter) do not turn off on their own by themselves the ships from the battle.
Trifle
This group can include all other roles performed by light (Frigate) and medium (Cruiser) ships. Typically, the task of this group is to quickly come to the aid of scouts, destroy neutralized enemy electronic warfare, protect the fleet from tacklers, engage the enemy in battle before the fleet approaches, etc. As a rule, most ships in this group can perform several roles and are a universal reserve for the commander. An analogue of the “little things” of the fleet in real life - the Airborne Forces and the Marine Corps - seizing and holding a bridgehead for the main forces, support in particularly difficult operations, support tasks, etc.
Conclusion
What you have read is important for a fighter, but it is not all that can make him successful. If what is written becomes natural to you, then you yourself will be able to decide in which direction it is better for you to develop in this wonderful area of the EVE game.
In conclusion, I thank everyone who has given and continues to give me the opportunity to enjoy PVP.
I thank my comrades - the Xenobytes corporation, it is a great pleasure and honor for me to play with you, you are the best.
Special thanks to Dalilah for her constant concern for our corporation, as well as for offering to write this small guide.
ISK donations and thanks are accepted for the EVE character Svetogor.

It is important to understand one thing: EVE is not a difficult game
It's difficult to understand and difficult to master, but it's not difficult to play. At least not more difficult than any other game.
First of all, the difficulty lies in the fact that it is not similar to what you have played before. Absolutely.
The unfriendliness towards beginners is done on purpose here, a kind of screening out of those who cannot handle the game.
Having returned to this game, after a break of one and a half years, I decided to forget about all my pilots, all their learned skills and start from scratch, in the process describing what and how to do.
Here is the first result. I will describe the mistakes I made at the start in the context of a guide to training missions. Let's go.
After the first login, you will be explained how to use the interface, how to fly, how to warp, how to go through the hypergate, and so on. These are just the basics of management, nothing more.
The first agents will teach you how to play (these are NPCs that are located on space stations), who are divided into professions: Research, Army, Advanced Combat Training Course, Trade, Production.
After my first acquaintance with Eva, based on the experience of other MMOs, I thought that they would let me choose the class I would play as. This is my first mistake.
The first thing you need to do is complete the tasks of all these agents. In a global sense, the order of passage is not important. But the difficulty of passing, especially for those playing for the first time, varies greatly.
My second mistake, there was a lack of understanding of the principles of learning. I, like all of you, am used to the fact that in training, we point our fingers at what to buy, what to learn, what to install, and so on.
They will tell you everything in general, but you need to cover the details yourself.
My third mistake, a consequence of the first error. I started with the Army and after a sweaty passage, deciding that I specialized in the class, I went further along the quests. Then they cruelly bent me over, leaving me without money, without belongings and without a ship. I woke up at the station, in complete aha, I sat and thought - is this all? What the fuck should I do?!))
In short, the algorithm at the start is as follows: we go through all the training agents. After completing the missions of the next agent, he says that your training is completed and offers to fly to some fucking place, to another agent, to complete tasks. I will say right away that all training agents, after completing their quest chains, offer to fly to Sisters of Eve. IGNORE.

P. 1-3 is PVE. During execution you will be given a lot of normal ships, skills, and modules. During the process, you will more or less get used to what is happening around you, eat yourself (learn skills) and pass the PvP branches with NPCs points 4-5 easily. During the passage, do not hesitate to buy skills yourself in the station’s trading platform and teach them. You will encounter the problem that there are a lot of skills and the question will naturally arise - What the hell should I teach? Look at Certificates (the second tab after skills, in the skills menu in the profile), there the skills are grouped by areas and depth of study (Initial skills > more advanced level of study + new ones > and so on). Also, feel free to “sit out” for a few days while you learn your skills. Now for the quests of each branch. The guide was copied from the Eva forums. Depending on the choice of faction, the items and skills issued, as well as the tasks themselves, may change slightly. Do not forget to save the coordinates of Sisters of Eve after completing the branch (right-click - save the coordinates), so that later, after completing all the branches, you do not lose it.

Walkthrough: if you have accumulated more veldspar than necessary, then everything is even easier. Recycle veldspar (200 units is enough, at the same time for the next mission too) and complete the mission. I just don’t recommend processing all the ore. The proceeds from the sale of minerals received from processing are less than those from unprocessed ore. Market-s. Or process it purely for yourself (for the production of goods).

Completion Bonuses
If you manage to complete the task within 2 hours and 52 minutes, you will receive the following rewards as an incentive:
Walkthrough: we arrive, kill a couple of drones, dig and go home. The only question is what to do it with: you can take a miner, change one drilling laser for a cannon and fly right away and fight and dig. You can fly in on a combat frigate, crush everyone, and dig them up with one laser (fortunately, the hold compared to the Venture is simply ridiculous). Or the third option: chop it up on a combat frigate, and then return on a mining ship and dig for your own pleasure. There is another way: drones. But here you need the Drones skill, which you will be given only in 6/10 of the “Army 2” branch, and civilian versions of drones only in 7/10. Think, choose.

You can choose more belts, I think there will be an empty one. Just don’t go too far from the computer, non-writing tends to be reborn. Or, as I said earlier, take drones.
