>Can I make enough ISK to PLEX during the trial?
If you have to ask, you can't do it.
>I just started, what should I do?
Do the Opportunities then find the Career Agents & run all of their missions; they give you ISK, ships, skillbooks and teach you basics. Talk to players and try to find a corp. The game is only as boring as you are.

Or did you just put the polarized blaster there to meme us?
>>145849649
its my first fleet fight, i want to hit drones that are swarming around me without having to use my drones.
is it a bad idea?
>>145849906
Either you are trolling or you need to reread what polarized guns do.
>>145849906
You aren't going to be hitting drones with medium guns. Polarized drops your resists to zero, making it a terrible thing to fit on anything but meme fits. If it's a fleet fight, don't fit local repper at all, you won't live long enough to use it anyway. Fit a 1600 plate instead, and replace the rigs with 3x trimark.
>>145850001
well i memed myself into oblivion..
>>145850070
i was considering doing this, but isnt it important to repair armor if im armor tanking? Its going to be a small scale fight im told.
>>145850209
If your fleet doesn't bring at least one logi ship, even if it's just a t1, it's not a very good fleet.
>>145849906
plate + dc + EANM + 3 DDA
In the mids get a prop, scram, cap injector, web
In the highs get drone link augs (optional, depending on what you intend to fight and how) and neuts.
Rigs should be 3x trimark armor pump. Maybe replace 1 with an anti explosive pump to patch up your resist hole.
Drones should be 5 heavies (or sentries, depending), 5 minmatar mediums and 5 ECM hornets.
Some variation is fine, as long as you don't put on polarized guns or something silly like that.
If you want to kill drones, put in a medium smartbomb. But then again, that's as good at killing friendly drones as it is hostile drones, so be careful about it.
>>145850209
>>145850313
Certainly not worth bringing a navy vexor, at any rate.
>>145850352
Yeah, fit a mwd or ab.
>>145850313
This guy is also a faggot.
>>145850209
1 rep on an unbonused T1 ship is bad because it just doesn't accomplish enough. You shouldn't live long enough to make good use of it.
This can be useful in solo, but that's different.
T2-3 ships and ships with bonuses to resists or armor self rep may be able to get away with it, but even then they don't use 1 ordinary rep, they use multiple reps or one oversized rep.

>>145850623
Shion-san, have you forgotten your common sense training again?
>>145849906
>she is an eftard
>she isn't a pyfriend
baka desu
If you want to do an actiev tanked VNI, a dual armor rep 100mn fit with a medium capacitor booster works well. Yuo don't haev much for high slots, I fit 2 small neuts and 2 small nos, but you could also use some autocannons, but a full flight of VNI heavies with 1-2 DDA is plenty of DPS
>she isn't using EFT
>she uses Pyfa ever for any reason
>>145850912
Another option is going for sentries, then you fit drone range upgrades in highs. Need to fit a sensor booster with range script in mid, though.
>>145850710
oh wow thanks for the clear detail.
thanks for the advice, this is my current fit.

?????
>>145851712
which do you recommend dropping? the neut or the nosf? Im cap stable at the moment, but i wont be when i put on the 10mnAB. is leeching cap viable in pvp?
>passive tanking is the same as buffer tanking
eftards pls go
>>145851952
Dammit you sound like this is your first fleet fight. You don't fit for cap stability in pvp. Drop the semiconductor rig for anti-exp pump, the cap recharger for cap *injector* and the drone speed mod for warp scrambler.
>>145852024
i meant to say buffer, forgot the word
>PYFA fags have to beg superior EFT gods to leave
Classic.
>>145851712
>>145852024
i got the 10mn AB fitted, and i took off the nosf, and put on a small neut. Combined it should take approximately 9 cycles to deplete the capacitor of a cruiser, less for a frigate.
>>145852140
this IS my first fleet fight. Ive only done incidental PvP when i was fit for PvE. Ill take that advice now. Could i substitute a warp scrambler for a webifier? If mobility is important, its important to slow my target, no?
is there any purpose to making a new account that wasn't generated from a buddy code?
buddy code created accounts are 60 day restrictionless free accounts, while even the humble E3 trial is 30 days restricted.
>>145852307
why are you doing fleet fights, but have to ask /vg/ for fitting advice? doesn't your corp have a fleet doctrine?
>>145852307
Scram is more important, it shuts down MWD, MJD and prevents warping. Your drones should have no trouble hitting things that are scrammed.
>>145852392
im fighting with an alliance. im sure i can ask them for advice, but id like to look semi competent.

don't run an expensive gecko in a fleet fight, not worth
the high-slots for a drone boat don't matter so much, maybe you want to go full neuts rather than some piddly guns that won't do much. if you neut the ship that's tackled you, you can break tackle and warp out. 50dps blasters won't help.
>>145853480
>>145853006
For that matter, don't run augmented drones either. Depending on how tight your fitting is, you might be able to squeeze two medium neuts if you swap the AB and 1600 plate for meta (named) versions.
>>145853724
>>145853480
>>145853724
>>145853480
its not worth using a gecko, but its worth using TWO meta items?
>>145854231
do you even check prices of things before asking dumb questions?
Geckos are 50mil each. Meta shit usually cheaper than T2 stuff which is already cheap as shit. Faction and deadspace mods are where things start getting expensive.

Short range high dps guns. Neutron blasters, 200 AC or pulse lasers with multifreq.
Update with Advanced Weapon Upgrades requirement Weapon Upgrades IV instead of V when?
>>145853006
Drop the scram, drop the blasters for railguns, you'd be far more useful if you ruin an orthruses day with a remote dampener and being able to hit out to 40km with spike rather than 5km.

I'd say that medium ancillary is useless with that much buffer and no rep rigs.
Drop those useless guns, no bonuses add more neuts.
Don't need that tracking link if you are scramming shit.
Why no T2 rigs?
Are you really flying a T2 VNI with a gecko?
You are doubling the cost of the ship for a little more dmg.

Drop that tracking link and out a web.
Again I don't think that repper will do much when you have no rep rigs and a big buffer with not a lot of resists.
But thats my experience and opinion.
NOSes don't work well without bonuses and when you're also neuting the same target.
It's like trying to burn paper money and stealing it at the same time
>>145877686
By the way you fit you shouldn't be flying a VNI just yet but use a Vexor as training wheels to catch a feel for what you'll encounter in a fleet.

>>145883572
>i dunno man, you are probably one of the people that have been mean to me several times this thread
:(
>>145886350
>misspelled ancillary booster
>>145886350
yes, so you have 0k ehp and die instantly if you get attacked by more than like 1000 dps. having no buffer is bad for gangs
>>145886634
>mispelled
shorthanded it
>>145886702
>hurr you have zero EHP
you use an active tank you mong
>>145886751
>you use an active tank you mong
you're fucking retarded. gang fights. you cannot permatank the enemy ships because there's more than 2 of them. you have zero hitpoints, so you die instantly. this is why people don't do special snowflake active tanks in gangs
>>145886751
>shorthanded it
whatever makes you sleep at night buddy
>>145886963
>you're in small gang you're not allowed to active tank.
>you die instantly because you have zero hit points
you have more than enough shield buffer to click your shield booster. People run active tank vagabonds all the time. Its not special snowflake you're fucking retarded. You magically think that the ship will get instantly killed before you run your shield booster
>>145887296
nope, they all die instantly with like 5k damage taken and contribute nothing to the fight because they have autocannons
active tanking does not work in gangs
>>145887460
>nope, they all die instantly with like 5k damage taken and contribute nothing to the fight because they have autocannons
you're fucking retarded
>nope 5k shield EHP isn't enough because I said so
>you die instantly because I said so
>1300dps tanked is not enough because I said so
>your gang is actually bigger than small gang because my arbitrary small gang definition says so
>>145887631
>if we manage to get a fight with our gang against 2 or less people, it's viable and doesn't die instantly!
you know what else is viable? buffer tanking. I think you've been watching too many meme videos

>haha i quote so many people lmao epic meme top tier oruze reddit meme xD wher is the upvote button lol
>>145887947
you are for not seeing the very obvious limitations of active tanking and how it doesn't scale at all
>>145887969
>>145888027
It scales great because of the shield boosting bonus
1400dps active tank is huge. It goes nearly 1700m/s with an overheated 10mn AB
>>145888146
no, the shield boosting bonus means it can tank 2-3 ships instead of 1. that's it, that's all it can do. it's pointless
>>145888282
Its great for small gang brawling
There are 100mn AB fits that kite amazingly because the agility is so high
Oruze is the cancer on this general
>>145888573
>agility is so high
as someone that flies vagabonds of all types, I can tell you the 100AB is not that good and only works with links.
It takes over 15 seconds to reach max speed and making a sharp turn is like setting a 20km orbit.
It also has cap issues and you can't pulse the AB or it kills your momentum hardcore.
Just fly a phantasm instead.
newbro here. what should i drive as combat role in a small gang like 3-5 people in size? id prefer something with shields and energy turrets but if it doesnt exist i dont mind skilling up some more if theres a particularly better ship or ships.
ive been watching you guys talk and the phantasm seems pretty good, but expensive and ill probably lose it. is there anything cheaper and similar?
>>145890854
keres or maulus
>>145890854
Caracal.
Any T1 cruiser.
Any frigate.
don't be retarded, don't buy pirate ships as a new player
>>145890854
most faggots in eve only ever talk about special snowflake high end faction broken ships. fly T1 instead
>>145890854
Coercer is what I'd fly. Given that you sound inexperienced I'd say don't use cruiser until you know what you are doing and definitely not a faction cruiser. Coercer's armor but destroyers hardly fit tank in any case.
There are not many shield laser ships.
>>145890854
Energy turrets (lasers) are shit with low sp. You are not hitting for any dps, using a ton of cap and fitting. Go for RLML Caracal meme instead, you will be able to kill frigs and destroyers at least.
>lasers are shit with low sp
they aren't any more shit than anything else
>>145891781
the only shit with low SP here is you. FAGGOT
>>145892003
And yet, RLML with low skill actually does dps and doesn't use cap.
>>145892180
yeah rlml are overpowered, everyone train for the meme ship then cry like bitches when it gets fixed. but back in non-faggot land, a low skill coercer or tormentor or executioner isn't worse than low skill other race equivalents. probably better than most desu
>>145892304
>coercer
Fucking really? Get out.
>fixed
>ccp
>rapids
Yeah hes got a good 2 years to train something else before they even think about nerfing rapids
>not flying hulltanked coercer
Another point towards going with RLML Caracal: It's really easy to fit even with no fitting skills.
>>145892385

The same could be said about drone ships.
Realistically frigates is all you need to fly to learn the game.

No. Get out of babbyzone and suddenly things are more interesting.
newbro again
thanks for the input. it seems i must either fly a meme caracal if i want to be good, or a coercer if i want to stick to my guns (no pun intended) but be less good.
caracal seems nice though. i hate to ask for an example fit since you probably get that all the time, but, is there a premade one that would be okay within the small gang size i mentioned?
>>145892720
>4x reactor control unit III
>>145892990
Actually, it's not a babyzone at all from what I remember. You actually have to think to make a profit there
Jesus fuck just search it on the internet, there are sites whos only purpose is to show fits.
>>145893142
here's a super generic canceracal for shitters
if you're good at pvp swap the invuln for a web
>>145893142
RLML in highs
Large shield extender, em + invu for tank, mwd/ab for prop mod, disrupter in mid
missile damage mods in low
shield extender rigs
warrior drones, if you can use them
>>145893142
Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Amarr lasers Real Hahahaha Nigga Just fly minmatar Like Nigga fly svipuls Haha
stop spoonfeeding the faggot MUH NEW PLUYURS
or you're condemning them to a life of brave and PH
>>145893381
shut the fuck up nigger
minmatar is pretty cool though, but the bread and butter is gallente and caldari, they both use hybrids and are a perfect starting point for skilling
>muh race
who cares, just fly what you want. amarr have plenty of good small gang shit, so does everyone
>flying anything but Navy Omens
>>145893918
it's fine to be a pleb shitter babby I guess, but you should really be using a t1 omen instead
>>145893993
let me guess I should also be using T1 crystals and train target painting V?
>>145893465
yes we should strive to tell new players to fuck off
>>145894116
why would you do that? omen doesn't have a tp bonus
>>145894126
>not allowing them to bring up their own fits so they can learn what makes a good fit good
>tp
>>145894409
thats fine, as long as the fits arent too expensive
>>145894303
this newfag
>not flying target painting Muninns
I only drive the ships that are cool looking. I also only use weapon systems that I like. Am I the cancer or the cure?
>tfw I fell for the data sites meme
I thought they were adding small ancils to these? I haven't found any at all, it's all just garbage
>>145894817
rng is r.
>>145894776
who cares
as long as you are havingfun
>>145894776
the cure. keep it up, and remember that you're better than people who fly svipuls or use rapids
>>145844371
No, I'm away from my computer for 2 weeks
Rip my 140k
>drive
>Caldari will never mind control Gallente Catgirls
>>145894409
Lmao. Listen here you faggot. If I ever catch you flying some bullshit you put yourself together you are fucking gone from my corp and I'll make sure no relevant corp will hire you ever again.
