Noobie requests benevolent players for help

Anyway I can get an explanation or just direction where to look at to learn how to fit a ship properly for a purpose?

You can follow these steps:

1. First you need to choose you activity, be it; Mining, Missions, Trading, PvP, Exploration etc.
2. Choose the (appropriate) ship you want to fly.
3. Choose how to fit the chosen ship (there is no right or wrong way to fit a ship, per say):
   1. Choose how to tank; Shield, Armor or Hull. Active or Passive.
   2. Choose your Utility for your warfare; EW or Boosting your dmg application.
   3. If any leftover slots fit to increase damage output.
4. Pick your destination and off you go!

EVEUni’s wikipedia site is a good place to find some starter fits, which you can adjust as you see fit and to your needs.

Note: It can be difficult to find the balance between tank, dmg and utility.

The thing I want to know here a bit is like, should I make a corp or join a corp? I’m playing with 2 other IRL buddies and we’ve talked a bit that we’d perhaps like to just make our own Corp.

Should you and your friends want to find an existing corporation to join, here you can find some info on how and what to look out for when deciding.

How to find the corp that is right for you

One of the most frequent questions I see on the Eve forums is “How do you know if a corporation is good or not?” To help each person come to their own answer, I have written a “step by step guide” on how you can make your search for the right corporation (“corp”) easier. Ideally this will help you avoid a long employment history filled with corps you joined and left because you only found out that they didn’t “fit” you after you joined them. I will be the first to admit that I do not have much …

How do I decide on location of corp HQ? Does it even matter?

Does not matter, it can be changed as you see fit.

Common expressions in EVE:

• Wardec (War Declaration); a mechanic in which 2 corporations/alliances may battle each other anywhere in New Eden (EVE), even in Highsec, the aggressor pays a weekly fee for as long as aggressor want to keep it going. A notification will be given 24 hours prior to the war beginning/ending. While there can only be one (1) aggressor, the defending Corp/Alliance have the option to hire help (or may even be offered help).

• Suicide Gank; can only be done in Highsec systems. It is the act of destroying another players ship, without the rights to do so, knowing full well that it will result in the destruction of the pilot’s own ship by CONCORD. Commonly performed in pure damage fitted Destroyers and/or Attack Battlecruisers.

• HotDrop; Lowsec and Null only. An act of cyno’ing in a Capital sized ship (usually a Carrier or Super Carrier) on a solo non-capital target to make quick work of them.

• BLOP; Lowsec and Null only. An act of bridging a fleet of Covert class ships, usually Stealth Bombers and/or Black OP’s (hence the name “BLOP”) to a (Covert) Cyno at the vicinity of a (solo) target, often used against Rorquals.

• There are quite a few more but this is all I can think of right now.

Anywhere I can read or whatever on how to PvP

[Free Training] Allow me to help you (or your corp) learn PvP

Intro: Free PvP training As a long time high-sec pvp player, I’ve watched the game grow and change for a long time. My way of creating content has largely died, so I shall try another one. Fighting in highsec is all about controlling engagements. High-sec fighters choose to fight in highsec because we can use the highsec rules to allow us to control the scale and progression of fights. I write this for the players in highsec who feel like they cannot win wars. In this tutorial, I aim to sh…
