(Completed) [CLASS] Intro to Weapons l Friday l 2023-1-20 @ 4:00

Post by Leto theII Atreides »

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: Leto
When: Friday January 20, 4:00 EVE Time
Where: Classroom Alpha on Discord (slides), and Classroom Alpha on the Mumble server (audio)
Duration: 90 minutes scheduled; probably less than this, depending on the Q&A,
Location: [Stacmon System] Time permitting may be a practical demonstration at conclusion of discussion.

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

Additional information:
This class is primarily a lecture and discussion. There may be a practical component if time permits. We recommend not doing anything risky or attention-intensive in-game while listening!

If you want to do some OPTIONAL pre-reading, CCP's new page on combat mechanics https://www.eveonline.com/eve-academy/s ... -mechanics rewards a careful read. Again, this is OPTIONAL!
