[CLASS] The Shape of Battle | Tuesday 5 July | 19:30 EVE Time

Post by Uryence »

This class explores how some key mechanics interact to shape the space of PvP combat. It aims to be a kind of introduction to seeing how battles in EVE are shaped. Unlike many of our classes which introduce one defined set of game mechanics, this class pulls together mechanics from different categories.

Nothing can replace experience, but this class aims to give you better shapes into which to sort PvP experience as you get it.

Instructor: Uryence
When: Tuesday 5 July, 19:30 EVE Time
Where: Mumble (audio) and Discord (slides, gameplay streaming); you will need to use both to get the full class
Note that due to changes in our auth system, this will be on the general, normal Uni Mumble, not the old public server!
Duration: 2 hours scheduled; probably less than this, depending on the Q&A—you won't have to listen to me drone on for 120 minutes!

This class covers the following topics:
  • Movement & tackle mechanics recap
  • Weapon Timer & its effects on combat
  • Brawling range
  • Skirmishing range
  • Sniping range
  • Q&A
Student requirements:
  • Mumble registration and access: make sure you have Mumble sorted out and operational well before the class begins. Use this page for set-up.
  • Access to the EVE Uni Discord (slide presentation will occur in a Discord classroom, and Discord will be the main channel for text questions)
Additional information:
This class is a lecture, delivered in Mumble, with the slides delivered on the EVE University Discord and questions taken in the relevant Discord channel. There is no practical component or need to undock. We recommend not doing anything risky or attention-intensive in-game while listening!

OPTIONAL preparation:
You can attend this class with absolutely zero preparation and it should still be useful. But its content might synergise well with:
Again, these are absolutely optional!
