Agony Unleashed - PVP-Basic

Newly updated!

The CLASS and ROAM will occur on the same day leaving from BERTA (Berta VI - Moon 19 - Ammatar Consulate Bureau)

Please note: Enrollment for this class is done through a form (linked below). This includes Alumni.

Class signup opens March 11th @1200 and closes March 19th @1600 Eve time

This first run of the revised class is FREE of charge

Agony Unleashed invites players of all levels of experience to our newly revamped PVP-Basic class. We've been hard at work completely overhauling the content of our classes to better suit modern Eve and to provide a more accessible progression for our students. This is our entry-level class and is therefore the first of the new curriculum to be released. As the first run of this class since the revision, we're offering it entirely free of charge!

New to Eve and keen to get straight into PVP? An older player but never been confident enough to try a public roam? Returning to the game and feeling a bit rusty? This class is for you! You'll learn how to survive, participate and have fun in fleet operations and at the end of the class, will know all you need to get involved in any public roam. This could be the beginning of an addiction to Eve PVP that takes you from "hey, this is pretty fun!" to commanding fleets of your fellow pilots.

You'll be taught through a step-by-step approach that focuses on what you need to know so you don't get lost - from joining a fleet, through keeping up with your fleetmates to PVP communication and more. If you've tried to join a fleet before and found it a little overwhelming, this class should fill in the gaps and help smooth the learning curve. At the end of the class section, we'll go straight into a roam through Nullsec and you'll immediately be able to put your skills to use.

Experienced pilots or old Alumni of our classes will also benefit. The class section is intentionally kept lean in order to bring everyone up to speed quickly so we can get out and have fun. We'll soon be out looking for targets with support from Agony scouts. At that point, the class will turn into one of our NPSI roams, which always deliver!



The core topics this class will be covering are:

Basic fleet maneuvering

Basic PvP mechanics

Communication and recon

Future classes (yet to be announced) will cover more advanced aspects of PVP but all will have PVP-Basic as a prerequisite.

Time and Duration: ~3-4 hours including roam

Class: Saturday 19th March starting at 20:00 EVE Time. Please try to arrive well before the class is due to start.

Please try to arrive well before the class is due to start. Roam: On the SAME day as the class, the roam will start when the class finishes.

Meeting Location: Berta IV - Moon 19 - Ammatar Consulate Bureau

Price: 30m isk FREE

While we normally charge for our classes, we're excited to try this newly revised syllabus and have therefore decided to offer the class for free on a one off basis.

Instructors: Itko

Fleet Commanders: TBD

Maximum Enrollment: 70

Voice Comms: Agony Comms, Teamspeak 3 (TS3)

See the PVP-BASIC Wiki Page for prerequisites and preparation material for this class.

In particular, read through the PVP-BASIC Preparation Checklist!

Note - as with all Agony classes, you should bring your own ships*. Please see below for required ships and fittings and ensure you review the pages linked above, some time before the class!

*There will be a number of appropriate ships available on contracts in the staging system so you should be able to pick something up even at short notice.

Ships required

Spoiler We suggest you bring a minimum of two (three or four should be plenty) of the ships listed below. Be warned: you may lose them during the roam! Having spares means you'll be able to rejoin the fleet to take your revenge! The class and roam will be use long-range destroyers as they are both easy to skill into and effective. While frigates can be great ships for PVP, in a class of this kind, destroyers make more sense. There are two sets of fits - T1, for very new players with low skills and T2, for those with more advanced skills. The T1 variants are entirely effective so don't worry if you can't use T2. The minimum required skills are listed, being those without which you'll struggle to fly the ship properly (or at all). There are also recommended skills which will make life significantly easier (mostly relating to capacitor). If you find you are struggling to train the skills in time, the minimum Corax skills can be trained from a starting character in a little over 4 days and it is the easiest of the options to get into. If you have any questions about skills or fittings, please ask in the thread! NB: While long range Amarr and Gallente Destroyers are possible, to reach the 50km range requires significantly better skills and it is therefore preferable that you train into one of the below instead.
