Beyond that with 2 years of experience you will find that target calling becomes second nature. I prefer skirmish cruisers with frig tackle/anti tackle. Small fleet fcing 10-20 is pretty easy its the big fleets where u need to call 3•4 primarys where shit gets crazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-14228192246169709332013-11-22T19:16:15.383-05:002013-11-22T19:16:15.383-05:00use an alt to fc t1 frigates.use an alt to fc t1 frigates.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-66720609850640128732013-11-22T18:27:10.782-05:002013-11-22T18:27:10.782-05:00For many doing brings understanding faster than an...For many doing brings understanding faster than anything else. It has never been that way for me. I do need to pay a bit more attention than I currently do but it is not something that I believe I will ever be in love with when it comes to fittings. I have no shame about taking from others who are talented in the art of ship fits but I do need to make sure I understand why things work as they do. I dislike wallowing in ignorance, even acceptable ignorance.<br /><br />In general, I have only what is around me to compare myself to. If everyone around me is amazing and multifaceted in the art of pewpew, it is only natural to see that as the baseline normal and to lament my lack in those areas. To me, my boys shine and I am but a shadow.Sugar Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15437978687639772023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-7937105566168675362013-11-22T18:23:37.933-05:002013-11-22T18:23:37.933-05:00I think, on this, that to try and find that it is ...I think, on this, that to try and find that it is not a thing for me is an okay approach. I am not making this leap because I feel that I have to. I am making it because I feel that I may be able to do this.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." <br />-- Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles", Ch. 7, Section 3 (1992)P. 190.<br /><br />Why mess with EFT or PYFA all the time when people have done it for you? Why waste time trying to reinvent the wheel when you can see one in action? Failheap challenge has all the dirt on PvP fitting pretty much raised to an artistic science. I doubt there is much that has escaped their collective eyes or gun sights. People tend to fly certain classes of ships in PvP, you can likely read up on most of the PvP fits pretty quick, not many people go with "individual snowflakes" because in Eve, they typically under perform or are hugely specialized. You can do what you set your mind too and I imagine that your corp will be fine losing jaguars and T1 cruisers and so on with you at the helm. Not all FCs are solo masters and most have lost lots of fleets. Partner with a few and see if they will lend a guiding hand. In the end, just do it and learn from your mistakes. I am not some great FC maybe one day when I change jobs I will have the opening to do more in Eve.<br /><br />Enjoy your blog and the more human approach you take to it.Deth Delkanaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-29893037872577097852013-11-22T12:45:59.544-05:002013-11-22T12:45:59.544-05:00"I need to at least try to do what I want oth..."I need to at least try to do what I want other people to do for me. It is about fair play and giving back."<br /><br />Just a side note: While I agree, I don't think it needs to be the same way. It is completely okay to give back your way (like doing markets instead of FCing).<br /><br />That said, good luck with your new goals!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-67310594142094307382013-11-22T07:53:31.531-05:002013-11-22T07:53:31.531-05:00In this blog post: wisdom.
