Re: Beginners PvP Guide

Looks good. I was thinking linking some of Balfizar's videos would be a nice intro for the guide. He really motivated some of my corp mates who thought only pros and blobs can PvP.

Re: Beginners PvP Guide

We are definitely interested in any other useful guides or videos and are happy to promote them!! I have asked a few people if they would like to contribute some more advanced specific guides and hopefully we'll get some good contributions.

Re: Beginners PvP Guide

It's not a bad guide but it's very simple. Might as well be replaced by

"DON'T PANIC!"

If it gets more people PVPing then I am all for it.

A better guide would be a general setup and strategy for each robot but coming from Joke it'll probably involve inviting as many people as possible to a squad and hoping someone shoots the same target as you.

Re: Beginners PvP Guide

As in the news item accompanying the guide, we would be more than happy to publish contributions from anyone with knowledge to share. I am sure a guide written by some of the prominent M2S folks would be very well received. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Re: Beginners PvP Guide

It would seem that the site is down. I am looking for pvp guides in general, also maybe mining guides.

I am totally new to this game and would like as much information as possible.

Re: Beginners PvP Guide

I played in beta and am just now returning. I'd like to try out being an ECM guy in pvp, but this is me:



What's the best focus for ECM in pvp? Does one faction's bots do better than others? Explain it like I'm five. smile

Thanks!

EDIT: It seems the site in the OP is gone.

Re: Beginners PvP Guide

If you really want to be an effective ECM guy, you simply focus on blue bots, and about 2/3 of the extensions in "electronics"

ECM has a natural low chance to hit and really high power consumption, so you need:

  • "efficient ECM Technology"
    to lower AP usage per cycle

  • "Jamming electronics" and "complex Jamming electronics"
    to increase chance to hit

  • "Optimized electronic warfare"
    to lower fitting costs of ECM modules

  • "long distance electronic warfare"
    since you want to stay as far away as possible

  • "Accelerated target locking", "long range targeting" and "Sensor connection"
    since you want to lock your targets faster and at reasonable distances

Additional you will need:

  • "nuimqol robot control"
    to get access to blue robots (lvl7 for ewar mech)

  • "basic/adv robotics"
    to boost the robot bonus on ECM (lower AP, higher chance to hit)
    decide early if you want to stay in cheap light ewar (=basic robotics)
    or ewar mech (=adv. robotics)

  • "Spec ops. robot control"
    to unlock ewar robot/mech and get stealth-bonus

  • "Accumulator expansion"
    to increase your buffer AP

  • "Energy management"
    to improve your AP regeneration
