Introduction to Weapon Systems covers the basics of the different types of weapon available in EVE Online, how they work, what ammunition they use, and the basics of utilizing them or countering them. This class will be useful for anyone who is ever involved in combat, even if only in PvE combat or as a potential target—knowing how each kind of weapon functions is a great way to increase your survivability!

When: Monday 7 February 20:00 EVE Time
Where: Public Mumble (audio) and Discord (slides); you will need to use both to get the full class

- Public Mumble registration and access: make sure you have Mumble sorted out and operational well before the class begins. Use this guide for set-up: http://eveuni.org/publicmumble
- Access to the EVE Uni Discord (slide presentation will occur in a Discord classroom, and Discord will be the main channel for text questions)
This class is primarily a lecture and discussion delivered in public Mumble, with the slides streamed over the Eve University Discord and questions taken in the Class (EVE Uni) channel. There is no practical component or need to undock. We recommend not doing anything risky or attention-intensive in-game while listening!
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defence. The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain, all else is supplementary. (Steinbeck)
