EVE University Forum

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!

Instructor: Uryence
When: Sunday 8 May, 20:00 EVE Time
Where: the top available classroom on Discord (slides), and the Mumble server (audio)
Note that due to changes in our auth system, this will be on the general, normal Uni Mumble, not the old public server!
Duration: 90 minutes scheduled; probably less than this, depending on the Q&A—you certainly won't have to listen to me drone on forever!

This CORE class covers the following topics:

• Turret Mechanics
• Energy Turrets and their ammunition
• Hybrid Turrets and their ammunition
• Projectile Turrets and their ammunition
• Missile Mechanics and ammunition
• Drones
• Specialist Weapons Systems
• Q&A

Student requirements:

• Access to the public parts of Uni Discord
  • Access to Mumble
  Additional information:
  This class is primarily a lecture and discussion. 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)

Note to students: With the implementation of Alliance Auth as the backbone of Uni services - Uni's Mumble services have consolidated to a single server!

Classes will now occur on the single Mumble server, rather than the separate Public Mumble.

For guidance on signing up for Alliance Auth and accessing the Mumble Classrooms, please see https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Mumble

Bumping this as it's today!
