The art of war in Eve, Sun Tzu

Pilots, capsulers, explorers. New Eden is in the future but to became a better pilot we need to look at the past. Sun Tzu was a chinese military general, a strategist and philosopher. Sun Tzu's principles can be perfectly applied in Eve PvP.  We have learned from that and we will go on growing from our mistakes. Fly with us, join Zeura!

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of Wa

When a fight ended in flames

We are still enjoying quite a lot our frigate-destroyer fleets, first because is fun and then because our new pilots can make a lot of experience in that. It's a simple doctrine: we try to kill as much as we can, focusing even on solo cruisers that are ratting or hanging around. We fight in low sec, inside plexes and at asteroid belts. Our main advantage is speed and agility and moving as a single pilot we can still add a good amount of dps. If things go wrong, we can still try to disengage.

Often we use a scout/tackler that will make the move first. The scout tackler is even the one that is more in danger because he has to tank enemies until the fleet will join the fight. Is all a matter of timing. The best thing that can happen is to survive with little hull left, this usually lead in a scream of joy for the scout-tackler and all the fleet. Then during the loot of the enemies cargo, usually all pilots comment and admire the flames emerged by the damaged, but still alive, scout ship.

After a fight.. scout-tackler Incursus (pilot Mark Yanning). Ship in flames. Some modules were overheated... :)

A rare drug dose of Divine Opium

We just had what we called a lucky night. We got 7 kills in fleet, having much fun togheter and then, back home in our home system, we have scanned down a Core Runner Drop Distribution site: a rare gas site, where u have to kill Serpentis and then hack some containers.

A rare skillbook, in Dodixie u can sell it at 270m

Something only for strong men. For lovers of boosters and drugs.

After have killed two group of Serpentis we managed to hack 4 contaniers (most of them at the second try). Inside a rare 270m skillbook, Divine Opium and other rare items plus two 30m skillbooks.

Total loot: 375m. A lucky night for Mark and Ulric

Vindicator kill

Strange things happen on the Eve Universe, for istance you can meet a lonly Vindicator pilot (stewpenny) moving throught low sec without any scout. Here the result: 1.2 billion killmail

Same thing happened with the same pilot the day before the Vindicator kill...
